On Day 2, we drop B, so we have to go to A, C, D, E, F, and G and etc. The rotation makes sense, but the order in which we have each period seems to be completely random (it's not like we have B first on Day 1, and then C first on Day 2) - and G period is last 5 out of the 7 days. There's no good way to keep track of what class you should be attending other than completely memorizing the schedule, an option which unfortunately requires brainpower I do not possess. The weirdest part is the fact that we use a 7 day rotation, so asking what "day" it has become a question is asked almost every 5 minutes before and during first period. Oh, and we also start at 9:00 instead of 8:30 on Tuesdays - I appreciate the extra time to sleep, but it can be hard to keep track of too lol

On a more unrelated note, is it just me that thinks the Aspen software is terrible? My old district uses Infinite campus, which I also disliked, but Aspen could be even worse. Not to mention the poorly-designed web filtering software that most districts in America seem to use... *cough* iBoss *cough* contentkeeper *cough*

Infinite Campus kills me whenever I miss something that´s the first thing my mom checks lol

Hey everyone,

I was thinking about writing some tests in my region, but since I need some volunteer hours for National Honors Society, if I log my hours apporpriately, do you guys think I can get volunteer hours from test writing? Thanks!

Personally I like to eat late lunch since I'm usually not hungry like at 12:00, so I would really like a 2 o'clock lunch time.

You should move to Spain hehe, they generally eat lunch starting from 2-3, and they eat dinner late too... I knew some people who at dinner at like 9:30...

My Indian Decent probably has something to do with it. Normally true Indians eat dinner from 10-12 PM, and lunch from 2-3 PM as well.

This happens to me a lot more often than I'd like to admit, especially on weekdays. It doesn't help that I'm almost never hungry unless it's around 2 PM.

The first three classes of the day are an hour and a half (thereabouts), but after the third class we have a 45 ish minute study hall. After that, we have a short class that's closer to 55 minutes in length. We have a block schedule with a/b days for every class except the final class of the day, which we have every day but Friday. On Fridays we do a special kind of punishment known as Fast Fridays, where we have all six of our normal classes, but for shorter periods of time so that we can have each class for the same amount of time each week. The class lengths I have here might not be exact, though. I time my classes by when the bell rings, not how long the class actually takes.

Being a freshman here was fun.

that sounds like a cool idea if every schoolweek was 5 full days, but what happens when you get days off or you have half days?

Suggestion for Administrators/Staff: Why not show up of on you Profile, an option, where you can say how long you have participated in Science Olympiad so far, or in total during your years you did it. Thoughts?
