h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You know, your description of Science Class sounds remarkably similar to my own. I have to admit, I don't re-read the Hitchhikers books every three months, but definitely every school year. How do you feel about Shakespeare? I love "As You Like It" and "A Midsummer's Night Dream", despite the fact that I don't particularly enjoy any others.

I went to a so-called "magnet school" for a year in eighth grade. I was reeeeeeeeally bad. It was a new program, and a buch of kids who had always been home-schooled came. Their parents got mad about how "structured" our time was (which is, after all, one of the main ideas behind public school) and so we eventually spent most of our time sitting around. I probably spent half my time in school in the library that year, doing "research". Well, technically I suppose it was research... but not on anything they had assigned.

Life is better now that I'm in high school. I can take the advanced, AP, and Honors classes (except requred ones like Health and Fitness) and I started an Anime Club, so I have a social life now! For the first time since second grade.

Anyway, gotta go now.

Yeah...

I got in about 3 weeks ago, and have ever since been loving it. Classes are a good balance, great people, good culture (read: technocentric) and I really am enjoying myself. It's pretty fun here, and interestingly enough, there is an anime club, a fairly massive one, here as well. I haven't joined though. I do like shakespeare, although it sometimes takes a while for it all to sink in.
