Not that bad

So, the school finally told us about our new scheduling system for next year. Guess what? It's not that bad! Everyone was overreacting to the fact that the schedule was changing. Contrary to what everyone says, the current schedule isn't perfect. The new schedule isn't perfect either, but in my opinion, it is better than the current one. So, here's basically what it is:

1st period - 8:30-9:40
2nd period - 9:40-10:40
3rd period - 10:40-12:40
Lunch - 12:40-1:10
4th period - 1:10-2:10
5th period - 2:10-3:10

It's a 6 day cycle, so each class meets every other day. Ensembles and PE and stuff meet in the "G and H block" (as Mr. Bachner called it). The 2 hour period is going to be hard to get used to, but it's going to be useful too. It's not like the teacher is just going to be sitting at the front of the room talking at you for 2 hours, there is going to be other things going on. Second period is "community time" which is going to be weird, but it could also be really useful. It's a free you could potentially have everyday. That's going to be nice. It's also going to mean no more event schedules, so that's nice. I'm really glad that we still have real free periods along with community time. If we didn't, that would suck.

There's something funny about this new schedule too. Eli Naragon (the son of one of the teachers here) said that his dad told him that this new schedule bares a striking resemblance to the schedule that this school had before switching to our current 10 day A week/B week cycle we have now. So that's funny.

Also, I'm just going to say how HAPPY I am that I took speech already. 2 hours of speech would suck. Just think of how many table topics you'd have to do...so glad that's over with.
