Today was my second day back at school (after being absent for nearly a week. Is this fever sickness spreading around to your schools too, or is it just around mine?) It was a pretty drowzy morning, but then I got drugged up, so naturally I perked up.
Ancient - fun. It always is.
English Advanced - dull. We had a sub who treated us like we were five years old. See, our grade is pretty set in our ways - when a teacher treats us with respect, we show them the same courtesy. But when we have teachers who belittle us or irritate us in any other way, we can be extremely difficult. (We're a pretty opinionated bunch, and it appears that there are some teachers out there who would rather students just shut up and write everything down without questioning it. Which isn't us. We discuss everything, but that's the way our regular teacher likes it.) We'd debate some of our sub's points - because they were wrong, basically - and rather than have a civilised discussion with us, she got all antsy. So we got more aggressive. it was a nasty chain reaction.
Business - watched a video about the ugg trademark. It was interesting stuff, but seemed more relevant to Legal than Business. Not that I'm complaining.
Legal - spent the whole lesson playing "You Be The Judge" and debating tricky grey areas. 'Twas mad.
Philosophy - debated over how ethical abortion is.
It was a full day, but a good one.
