Random Thoughts/Things?
I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Thanks you two! I thought I was fine until my first day and then I was a nervous wreck, but, granted with a few hiccups along the way, I survived!

I go to a community college, so it's not very big at all. So far I haven't made any friends, but I like most of my teachers, and (except for chemistry) none of the classes seem particularly difficult/to have unnecessarily large amounts of homework. You are also allowed to submit a form so that your preferred name gets used on the roster/emails addressed to you, although your legal name still has to be used on official mail and school records. It's not too bad so far (except for chemistry, but it's a required prerequisite for the program I'm trying to get into so I really have to take it this semester, but I'm already struggling in the maths portion). I'm actually ahead in everything by a couple of weeks (again, except for chemistry, I'm just trying to keep up with that), so I'm already doing a lot better than in high-school. It's a lot easier to stay ahead when you have a syllabus listing every assignment you will be doing in the semester with dates.

Wow, I'm so glad it's going well for you! It sounds great :) If you don't mind my asking, what major or program of study are you in?
(September 3, 2024 - 5:58 am)
I'm in general science (so basically a combination between liberal arts and maths/ science), ironically. So not very specific, like, at all. I'm hoping to go for pathology, though.

And so my second year of high school has started today... with an hour long 'opening of school' ceremony that requires everyone to head out to the school's soccer field to stand in formation, facing the sun, at ten in the morning (which is the exact period of time when it is brightest and guaranteed to shine in our faces) for no other reason than the fact that the executives up there prefer such a useless decision over the much more economical alternative of activating the school broadcasting system, because we have to suffer through all this just to listen to Mr. Very Important Principal read his Very Important Speech that for some unknown reason requires all the students and teachers and school staff to attend 'dressed formally' or else. Honestly did the weather report today not read 36 degrees celsius or am I just number-blind?
Yes this is my real life school. I'm sure that this semester is going to be just as nonsensical as the one before, with dozens of unbelivable turns of events waiting in store for everyone. In fact, the nonsense has already started: at lunch I came dangerously close to paying 114.5 bucks for a bottle of lemonade due to a wrong input in the credit card system courtesy of the lunch lady. Thank you school for demonstrating your determination to trick us students out of our money-I am humbled by the insanity of this place once more. I also recall this must be the fifth time I have been humbled. The previous occasion was last semester, when a drunk rat thought it was a flying squirrel, jumped off the rafters of the cafeteria and landed in a eighth-grader's bowl of soup. Needless to say that nowadays we all advise new students to keep their heads up when they eat.
