Let's talk about American High School.
I leave for school around 7.30 a.m. School starts at 8 a.m. It ends around 2.16 p.m. My classes are (listed according to the period): U.S. Government, Dance I, Algebra II, Psychology, Ceramics I, Chemistry, English 12 and Mythology & Folklore. I have 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th period on A days and 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th period on B days. This is how it works:
First day of school - Mon - A day
Tues - B day
Wed - A
Thurs - B
Fri - A
and the following week goes:
Mon - B
Tues - A
Wed - B
Thurs - A
Fri - B
and it just keeps on ABABABABAB.
I don't care if you don't get what I mean. Sometimes I get confused too. I need to ask my friend to confirm if the following day is an A day or a B day.
Unlike Malaysia, it is not compulsory for a student to join a school club. (No PBSM yay!) A lot of students do not involve themselves in clubs. Personally I think those school clubs are fun. I am currently joining Key Club which provides many volunteering opportunities. Unfortunately, I was too late to sign up for some of the services but I still get to meet a lot of outgoing friends through the club!
There were many school events which I find very extraordinary.
Announcement in School
The Video Production class are in charge of making announcement. They make it like the news you see on the TV: two students are like the news reporter and they do announcement such as 'attention to seniors, the 4th bus for grad night is now open for register!' etc. (It was called PVTV by the way.) Sometimes, they interview the other students about hot issues like 'who do you think will win the Super Bowl?' 'Shout out to your Valentine's sweetheart!'. They'll combine those interviews/responses with the 'news'. Usually, our teachers will play the latest video they made on the second period everyday.
Mr Panther
It is like a beauty pageant contest but for guys in 12th grade. The school do this every year. It was held in the school theater at night, and you need to buy ticket to watch the show. They invited former Miss Nevada to be one of the judges. I don't know why but that sounds really cool to me. The contestants did an awesome and hilarious performance together on stage. Each one of them did a solo performance too. Some sang, some danced, some performed magic tricks. On the other hand, the organizers did something like you can place a bid to win a lunch date with your favorite contestant. The lunch date was sponsored by some sort of hotel or company hahaha. It was really interesting!
Basketball Games
I LOVE THE BAND AND THE DANCE CREW AND THE CHEERLEADERS. THE PALO SPIRIT IS SO STRONG. I LOVE THE CROWD AND THE CHEERS. NO WORDS CAN DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING THE GAMES WERE. I FINALLY WITNESSED THE FIRST SLAM DUNK IN MY LIFE HAHAHA. (I would say that the UNLV Basketball Game was the best but it was a college basketball game so yeah...)
Spirit Week
It was organized by the student council. There was a week where people dressed up in pajamas on Monday, Palo shirts on Tuesday, Green-out on Wednesday, Black-out on Thursday and White-out or Neon on Friday. (I'm sorry I think I sort of messed up with the theme and the days but I just can't remember) On that Friday, where everyone was wearing neon or white, they held a black-out assembly in the gym. It was a brilliant idea. They gave out glowing stick and the assembly was beautiful.
Matchmaker
Last month, I filled up a form issued by my English teacher about my personal interests. It's a matchmaker test. The results was out recently, and I can buy mine at the student store for 1 or 2 dollars. I didn't get it but I'm not sure if I'll get it or not. It sounds pretty fun tho. I'll see if it is still available on Monday. I might just get it for fun and as a remembrance.
GOING TO CALIFORNIA DISNEYLAND FOR GRADUATION NIGHT I'M REALLY EXCITED I CANNOT EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT IN WORDS FHEUIGFUAKLDBJSASDANDKJABDAKWUGDUKWADA
p/s: The school system varies in different area. What I'm telling you right now is just simply apply to my school.
p/p/s: Please don't ask me whether the syllabus is difficult or not. I think the education system here is more liberal and enjoyable compared to the system in Malaysia, but talking about difficulty, I would say it simply depends on individual.
I am so sorry for all the grammar mistakes in this post HAHAHAHA
Good night.
