I just personally enjoy the laid back atmospher of College. I mean I just really hate 8 classes a day 24/7. It just gets gruleing after awhile. That was the reason why I dident like highschool. The friend aspect of Highschool was nice. I have a lot of friends and they feel the same as I. They hated Highschool too. I guess my Highschool was a pretty bad school. A lot of the students at my school felt similar. My town sucks!

This is why I like block schedule. Starting as a freshman last year, and continuing this year as a Soph, istead of having 8 or nine classes I have 4 classes(excluding jazz band, and show choir combo). All my classes last about an hour an fifteen minutes, and I go to school from 7:40 AM to 3:15 PM(when I have Jazz Band, I go there at 6:40).
One term is 9 weeks, and there are 4 terms in the school year. Some classes like math and world studies, or a foreign language class are two terms. Others such as art or web design, science, etc. are one term, all depending on which ones you take. Then Band and Jazz band are year round. Every term most of the classes will change if they do not fit into certain categories.
I really like it this way though. I only have to focus on a four subjects instead of 9 like it was in Junior high. That is why I do really well in school now, plus having much better teachers, who actually know how to teach.
Plus this term especially, I usually only have homework in math, so I have plenty of time to do other stuff too.
