My School~

I attend LC Anderson High School in Austin, Texas.

School starts at 9:00 and ends at 4:15. There are eight periods, all 50 minutes long, except for days with advisory, which is every Thursday. Advisory is 30 minutes long, and a total waste of time.

I take all pre-AP classes, along with Chinese I, PE, and Guitar I. Guitar's my favorite class. :) But my English teacher Mr. Farr is my favorite teacher. Mr. Sperry's also cool, but he teaches Chemistry and Robotics.

Anderson has a ton of clubs, I can't think of all of them, my brain would probably explode trying to count them all. I'm part of two clubs: GSA (gay-straight alliance) and Robotics. GSA meets every Wednesday afternoon and Robotics meets after school every day.

Yesterday (Friday) and today, I went to the Maker Faire at the Travis County Expo Center to help set up our robotics team display in the arena, which showed off our FIRST (a competition Anderson went to last year) robots.. Today I also helped drive for BEST (a competition going on this October 25) in the barn against the other schools there. It was pretty crowded, and I just learned how to drive the robot so it was sort of difficult, not to mention the course we go through is impossible to do (we have to put together a fake airplane, it's so much harder than it looks) and this one wire in the claw kept popping out so the claw couldn't close, but then it actually got fixed... this time for good (hopefully) and the only other problem we had was lack of battery. 

Clubs are fun and addicting.

High school is definitely a LOT better than middle school. The people are better, the teachers (at least, my teachers this year are WAY better than last year), we have way more freedom, it's just lots better. We get lots of homework this year though, lots of unnecessary work which one sophomore just called "busy work", and I agree.

High school has its ups and downs, but it beats the nightmare that was middle school.
