Dio REALLY sucks!

Feb 20, 2007 21:32


Ok, it's official - Dio sucks. Like, a lot! I never thought I'd be saying this, but it's true! Mainly because of the way they handle things at Dio. We don't pay so much school fees for the staff to be disorganised and screw up our timetables even on the day classes start! So many people had problems in their timetables this morning! It's just ( Read more... )

stupid, hate, school

1. Timetabling is 99.9% only screwed up at King's if you decide to screw it up yourself by changing options 23482052 times. Otherwise, people normally get all the options they want to take no problem.
2. House system at King's? Is one of the things I love most about it here. I love it, love it, love it.
3. English and Maths is streamed, the rest of the classes aren't. But they don't need to be streamed anyway. There will inevitably be a zillion smart people in your class.
4. Dean? Word. Do you remember that time she marched in during concert band and tried to physically threaten the concert band director person whose name I can't remember? Debbie Prince, right?

...In other words, COME TO KING'S.

Don't leave me!!

Oh, I was imitating the dean in English today and the whole class cracked up, including the teacher. And then we were all talking about what we should do to the uniform: make everyone tuck the shirts in, and do all the buttons up, have flashing holographic stars and programmable belts saying "ut serviamus" and "we love Mildy". But eurgh, the dean is an idiot.

*sigh* I am SO glad I took Physical Science. Cheryl, you rock for persuading me to do that.

I'll see!

Lol Anna you seem to be good at doing stuff like that. I wish I was there :(

:D OF course I'm awesome! Physical Science itself is brilliant, I just hate the people in my class. They're really annoying, and half of them are stupid! And it's supposed to be a geek subject! Gosh.

It was just my English class, spontaneously. It was fun.

Gah, I don't know what I'm going to do when we swap teachers for physics. You can really notice the difference on the days I don't have physics - those are the days I complain about the idiots.

I wish people's parents would just let them do what they want, then we wouldn't have to worry.

1. I think most schools are ok, Dio just sucks and is uber disorganised
2. Lol. I will not comment
3. Well sadly at Dio, people have NO BRAINS and it's silly! Even the ones that DO are either really stuckup arrogant bitches or just plain annoying. I dunno, I'm sick of people at Dio...And I'm not sure if I want to do IB anymore...
4. HAHAHAHHAHA I remember THAT! THat was hilarious! We were all like...o...k WEEEIRDO!!

I might apply. When do the applications have to be in by? For girls.

2. Seriously. This is coming from a person who previously had absolutely zilch house spirit. King's is great for houses and everyone really gets into it.
3. You can't afford to be stuck up at King's... you'll get a really bad reputation and you'll be mocked for the rest of your time at King's. Why don't you want to do IB?
4. Haha yeah we were totally like 'WTF is going on here? Can't you see she's new?!'

Oh applications don't really close til quite late. I know they've had applications in though, and they've already started interviewing and showing the potential new boys around. Amy and Steph didn't apply til about June, July last year. Of course if you apply then there's more competition for places and such, but you're a really good student so it's not like they'll stop you.

2. Good point. Char told me yesterday at Liggins you wouldn't shut up about Kings :P Dude y'all are obsessed I tell you! :P
3. Lol yup. THE reputation. I dunno. Like, it's just kinda scary. And its all new! Which makes it scarier. But the scariest thing is that there's an exam over TWO years' worth of work, which is quite, well, puts a lot of pressure really. What if you stuff up? Then basically you're screwed!
4. But Debbie's awesome! This year I'm the only oboist in CB :(

Yeah, my brother's applied. Dunno if he'll get it though. It might be a bit late! >< Mum doesn't really want me to apply though, but I can't stop nagging about how bad Dio is at home so she might consider letting me apply, but she says there's no rush. So...I dunno.

2. LOL. King's is just so awesome though. Did anyone else hear that I wouldn't shut up about King's? Because everyone should come to King's. :D Except the bitchy people, I mean. But if they come here and then bitch, they'll end up ostracised.
3. Well, yeah, but CIE is also sort of like that. Like, you marks from AS count for 50% of your A2 marks. Yeah, I know that it's different from IB which is actually an exam of two years' work, but meh. I think you'll end up doing IB over NCEA just because it isn't NCEA anyway.
4. Yeah I know she is. :D I mean we were like to Rose, 'But the CB director is new and doesn't know anything! GIve her a break!' etc. Weren't you the only oboist in CB last year anyway?

Hmm, it's probably not too late.It's a lot harder for guys to get in than girls, actually, I think. You'll get in no problem. Tell her that you don't have to go just because you've applied, it's just another option for you, if that helps. Honestly, there's no rush, you've until like the end of term 2 to apply and be interviewed. By the ( ... )

2. Hahahha they would so deserve that! I wish Dio was kinda like that! But I guess that's what will happen with an all girls environment.
3. I think i will too lol! But its new and everything...I mean, it's like we're giving everything up...so you know, I'm pretty worried.
4. Kinda. Officially I am though this year. OMG I have to do the concerto this year!!! Scariness! ><

Yeah, mum wants Roy to get into Kings more than me. Mainly cos I think she knows I can and doesn't think Roy can. But I think we've sent that application too late! I told mum to send it in earlier. Do you think its ok if we sent it in the first week this year after the Term started? I think its too late. The internet says the end of year 7! I'm worried >

Oh Roy's on the waiting list, meh that's just saying he didn't get in :P basically, in a much "nicer"*cough* way.
