School!

[AngelWings8]

All the classes I took had names like "World History", "US History", "Algebra 2", "English 3" etc. Even the AP classes were just "AP English" and "AP Chemistry".

Or maybe I really am that old and these are the sorts of classes you whippersnappers take these days...

I'm with you on that one. Or maybe we are just old :O_O:

British schools have pretty much none of that stuff in my experience. I've always been jelly of Americans for having a much wider range of options xD Our foreign language options were French, German, and Spanish, and they didn't tell you about German or Spanish so nobody took them. All my classes were maths, English, science (All compounded into one generic 'science' class), French, that sort of thing. I would have killed people for classes like astronomy or what have you ;_;

Yeah, those were the only languages we had, too! D:

Our science classes were actually broken up into things like "Earth and Space Science" (it was mostly geology), "Biology", "Chemistry", and "Physics", but I think that's pretty standard and we had nothing beyond that. History was broken into US, World, and Government (all we did in that last class was watch Law and Order reruns while my teacher messed around on the computer... no, seriously). English was all just sort of one big mashup of literature and writing. The only electives were generic music and art classes, and a keyboarding class. We really had nothing special. xD

Rock Climbing classes? Now that's something I've never heard of before. :o

Yeah most Colorado high schools have rock climbing courses. Hell if you're willing to pay you can take scuba diving. I don't know why it's not like there's anywhere to scuba dive up here, but we have a class for it. I took astronomy sophomore year along with ceramics and wood-shop.
My old high school only had the old generic classes so when I moved here, sophomore year I was dumbfounded.

British Literature

We just call that Literature in England :P

But yeah, I'm starting my Degree (Creative Advertising Stratergy) this September so I'm really stoked. I'm a couple years behind on my friends so I just need to keep my head down and do well.

[fire_of_avalon]

I'll add that right now, I'm taking a course on old British literature (Think Chaucer, Thomas More, Miller, etc)

In the fall, I am taking...

EGL 207 - History of the English Language
EGL 322 - Modern and Contemporary Lit: 9/11 Literature
EGL 394 - Topics in Lit/Cultr of Science (Sci-Fi Lit)
HUM 121 - Death & Afterlife in Lit (Still need to get another one of these credits out of the way!)
JPN 112 - Elementary Japanese II

This semester is actually very interesting. I just have the worst schedule ever which prevents me from any kind of internship. .__.

?!

A few years ago I took a Horror Lit course (with a dreaaaaaaamboat Ph.D candidate) and it was easily one of my favorite college courses. I hope your Sci Fi course ends up being fun.

You're taking 7 classes? I finished most of my classes by senior year and got to have a free period to leave school early, leaving me with only 5.

[Laddy]

I'm a dork, though.

[Pike]

I feel you Laddy. I filled up all my Senior year free slots with AP classes.

[AngelWings8]

Damn, people could have free periods in school? I feel like we weren't allowed to do that...

[NorthernChaosGod]

I took 4 AP classes my senior year, but I still took my free period. Leaving early was awesome.

[Shlup]

They tried to put me in AP Bio II my senior year. I had signed up for Anatomy & Physiology because I wanted to dissect a cat, but the gave me AP Bio II, which has no dissections. So I said "smurf you guys, I'm going home!" And I did. Or, rather, I signed up for Oceanography and then told my teacher I had no intention of attending class. Give me the wrong class and then refuse to give me early dismissal because "u signed up 4 a science so u have to take a science lol." smurf you guys.

Oh, wait, that was ten years ago--I don't care anymore. I also finished college four years ago.

Way to remind me that I'm old, Laddy. You little trout.

[rubah]

I'm done with that stuff 8D Maybe I'll study troll science with prof. peegies

[DMKA]

My senior year was full of boring classes.

Thank god High School ended for me eight years ago. I hated it.

Wow, I graduated High School eight years ago? That's scary. ;____;

[NorthernChaosGod]

You people are old.
