!@#$%!/sebastian- it's all the percussion players that don't march. front ensemble. it'll actually be kinda fun. i was/am just a bit bitter because i was pretty much set up to be fifth bass with my position as fucking senior. pit kids have a fun time.

yikes. i had a dream once where i set myself on fire and ran around.

priest- we're set now for summer. there's four snares, five basses, and anyone that wants to be in pit is guaranteed a spot in pit. i guess i could ask but that would mean knocking off the poor freshmen who are REALLY EXCITED that the big kids are being nice to them.

Hello People.

Hello Mr Y


Fair enough. I think I like the way that in America (it strikes me that) it is a natural thing for people to be involved in school beyond the compulsory lessons. It would be beneficial to have that kind of mentality here - I wouldn't want anyone to be forced into it, just for it to be seen as normal. The way we're going, even going to school for basic education isn't really compulsory anymore.

Oh yeah, here our lives revolve around school. I think there is a lot of pressure for one to be going to school, or to do better. That is why we have o many after school programs, or learning centers and ll that.

Half of our schools seem to be calling themselves 'specialist sports colleges' for some reason. Or 'acadamies'. I don't understand it at all, but I think it means that the government give them more money.

There was some rivalry between schools, but not really very much. Unfortunately the school I went to was very keen on rugby, which manages the rare achievement of being a very very boring sport. We did have a cricket team which I joined, but I left in protest.

I tried not to be involved much at school. I was bored, really, and I felt like I was surrounded by idiots. Looking back, I realise that I was indeed surrounded by idiots.

By 'school', I mean up until the age of sixteen. After that it's college or university.

I was surrounded by idiots at school too. Now in college, I met several cool people, but also idiots. I can't wait though for University which is next year, I may go to an art school.

Are you planning on a nearby university, or will you set sail for pastures new?

I wanted to go farther away, maybe New York, but I don't think I will have sufficient funds, so I am going nearby, and it is cheaper when it is home-state university.

sebastian- it's a whole new thing in our county for schools to have academies. it's essentially a school within a school.. mine has a finance academy, tech, and ib. the local one has teaching, culinary, and at least 30 more. we have a rivalry with said school.

i've been involved with a fair amount of school stuff. there's a lot more i could be in but honors society and band take up a lot of time with traveling, etc.

Do you go to a lot of field trips? I never went to field trips in High School.

I did quite a few geology field trips in school, and a lot for geography in college.

Hi everyone.

I'm bored. AIM yourself, Jade!

victor- we went around a ton for band. all county, state, solo and ensemble. and football games. long bus rides home..

Cool, I always wanted to go to field trips, but was in the lower classes.

when i was in junior high, for field trips, we always went to this museum that was one of those science but fun places.

OH I always wanted to go to those museums.

i went there when i was like 8 or 9 when it was first opened and it was awesome, but then every year from 7th to 9th grade it was like "guess what? we're going to a field trip" "where?" "to universum (name of the museum)".

we were sick of it.

Funseum.
