I gave my friend a black eye although for good reason, he kept jokingly hit me then punched me in the balls. Now I have a very short temper so I instantly swung round and 'palmed' him in the eye although I did hit him mainly with the protrusive bone under the thumb.

There is one rule that is followed religiously at my school when play fighting with friends. Don't go for "that area".

He's learnt that rule the hard way. :lol: I'm generally good with play fighting unless I'm a bad mood due to tiredness or just in general in which case I go all 'Hulk Smash!' on people.

A couple weeks ago, someone got suspended for stealing from a vending machine. Those are about the only suspensions we've had.

A kid at my school who only joined this year has been expelled. He's from Iran, but lived in Texas for a while, where his friend was shot or something. He's a self-proclaimed rapper and gangster. Different rumours are saying different things, some people say he was kicked out for pulling out a knife on someone, others are saying he pulled out a gun. Either way, he pulled out a weapon and he's not coming back.

Last year some other kid was kicked out for setting fire to the toilets, and another for setting fire to a school bus.

It's pretty wild here. :lol:
 
Another exam day today, I don't come into school except for exams any more. It was Newtonian Physics, and it went pretty good, should get an A hopefully :D though I did mess up the difference in the transfer of energy between a swinging pendulum and an oscillating spring when they obey simple harmonic motion :dunce: So much gravity in that paper too!

But two exams left, and then the build up to summer starts a week today.

How do you set fire to something that's full of water?

He didn't literally set fire to a toilet :lol:. He set fire to the bathroom. We just call them toilets over here though... not the bathroom. :p

Had my History exam today, some of my friends did theirs on Monday so I already knew what questions were coming up. I finished about 15 minutes before the end, which is a new record for me as I usually write so much I never finish. We were given 45 minutes instead of the usual 35, so if it was a real exam I would've only been awkwardly sat there for 5 minutes.

My Maths exam is tomorrow, still haven't revised. I revised so much for the last one and only got a D :indiff:. I just can't do Maths at all. If anybody has any decent revision/studying methods that are ADD friendly, let me know!
 
If your school has signed up to http://www.mymaths.co.uk then use that. I find it very useful as it gives you the answers straight away. Otherwise, do lots of practice questions. Preferably away from any electronics.
 
The no computer is only if mymaths is not an option, and she does questions from the textbook or whatever. :p

In eighth grade there was this girl who started in the middle of the year. Two months later she pulled two knifes on another girl because she wouldn't go out with her.

:lol: How do you steal a vending machine without anyone noticing? That's still pretty funny none the less. Anyway, someone at my school got suspended for a week for getting into a fight. I don't know what happened but I do know that the one that got suspended is a bit of a ****

Well the vending machines at out school work so that if you hold up the bottom door, the sensor doesn't go off and you can just press buttons for as many things as you want. Funny thing is, this is the only vending machine lacking a camera nearby, and It's in a typically empty hallway. But our vice principal happened to be walking by haha.
 
Question for all the Brits around here, why do you call Studying "Revising"? It's probably been discussed before but I would personally think Revisions would be correcting a test.

Not really sure. It's just convention I guess. We revise what we've learnt, as it maybe re-visit? Not sure, it just is.

Hmm. The odd thing is if it isn't going over something specifically for a test then it is called studying.

Well, I'm not British but this makes sense to me. You are revisiting something, revising is just a shorter way to say revisiting, so it works.
 
I have received a detention for reaching three tardies, the last in unfair fashion.

At lunch, I went to the bathroom. In there, I saw a kid a few years younger with his nose bleeding. About this time, the bell rang. I helped the kid control the bleeding, while another kid escorted him to the nurse's office, and by the time I was to my locker to get my stuff for the next class, the bell rang.

I walk in (without a pass), and the teacher says, "Where's your pass?". I say I responded to a medical issue that happened in front of me and was helping this kid.

She says school rules say I need a pass, no matter what the situation, if I'm late. I received a tardy and since it being my third, receive a detention.

Not to be that one asshole that downplays you good Samaritan act, but you should have gone to the Nurse and gotten a pass from him/her before going to your next class

I know, but my main focus at the time was making sure the kid didn't pass out or anything, not getting to the next class. In which I tried telling her that.
 
So, today in World Geography, a low IQ girl asked two low IQ questions.

"Is Washington D.C. in Washington STATE?"

It got worse.

"Does the president have alot of money to make assault rifles safer?"

ATOMIC FACEPALM!

Assault rifles were banned in America back in 1986. I don't know why everyone is talking about banning them now 💡 My high school is talking about all that gun control crap right now.

No it wasn't. There was an assault weapons ban from 1994 to 2004 that banned certain combination of features on firearms. In 1986, new selective fire weapons (ie. machine guns) were not allowed to be sold to civilians anymore, but ones registered before ~mid-1986 were allowed to be owned and transferred by civilians.

The new assault weapons ban would be looking to recreate the similar, but stricter, ban than the one that was in effect from 1994-2004.
 
"Oh yeah, that article about the Alpine team? I got that"
"Oh, do a thing on Academic clubs (Model UN, Mock Trial, Tri-math-elon, Science Bowl)? Yeah, I got that article too!"
Hardcore newspaper writer swag.

Lately school has been pretty chill. Easy, and now that I have Econ, I feel as if I'm actually learning something!

It's not that bad. I know loads of people that didn't know this but then I am not an American.
 
So, given the interesting weather we're getting tomorrow, you would expect school to be cancelled. However ...

School
All those sitting exams must attend their examinations, even if the school is shut
Click to expand...

Therefore, I shall attend my exam tomorrow in an abandoned school, with an inch or two of snow on the ground, in freezing conditions. Great :lol: At least they told us to wear whatever we want to stop us getting too cold!
