After returning to school (btw it's my last year!) I had some scheduling misunderstandings but all in all it's been the best year so far!

Just about as good or bad as any other day.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

I don't remember. It was like three weeks ago. Yeah. My first two days were not even in the planner calendar the school provided.

But I'll be smiling at everyone still in school when I'm out for the summer early.

School starts Monday for me... you should've added a "hasen't started yet" option.  But I'm sure it will be good.  Then when I'm out, I'll probably make some popcorn and watch the NCIS marathon.

Oh, but how absolutely useless would that option be!  When you go to school, fill it in.

I just started college at Texas Christian University. It's really cool and I've made a ton of new friends.

Eh, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My brother, though... first days as a freshman for him.

I first read that as "Texas Chainsaw University". Scary.

Anyway, I just finished my first week of School. It was average. Judging by my subjects and teachers, the homework load won't be so bad, which is what I care about most. There really wasn't any special though. The next semester will be torture though.

My first day was pretty alright. I saw a bunch of my friends I hadn't seen over the summer and most of my teachers are either cool or just not horrible.

I start tuesday, and it should be sweet since I go two days a week for two hours each. Only tuesdays and thursdays 10-12.

But then again, I'm in my 6th year of highschool due to expulsion in 11th, and an absolutely unfair teacher last year.

Fine. Since I'm homeschooled, school in general isn't nearly as confining and stressful as public school. Plus, I have my mom as teacher, and that always helps. :)

What sort of average do you have in mind? There are many methods by which one may calculate this statistic.

Isn't averaging ... taking all of the values and adding them together and dividing by the number of values?
That was a joke.

There's also the median and mode, as well as weighted and unweighted averages.

Of course, to get an accurate reading here, any method we use would have to ignore the people who have 1/1/1000 set as their birthdate.

I'll be 19 in two months, btw.

School was a zinger for me this year. All of my friends returned as well as one from years ago! I just want to forget two years ago when I almost goit into a fistfight with my female b**** teacher.

This year (10th) is excellent for me. This is my first year in high school, and I'm moving forward with a positive attitude and confidence like I did the second half of 9th. I was a bit shaky for a while, but that's how every change starts.

By "positive attitude and confidence", I'm also referring to my social life. Prior to about halfway through 9th, I had plenty of friends in school but was still content to stay with myself and a few other friends in a sort of private video game bubble. January of this year was when I stopped being content with that.

Forget about how your first day of school was.  I want to know when.  Mine was Sept. 1, the way God intended.

What the dukar is up with your school district?
A while before I became part of the school district, the high schools became overcrowded, and building more schools wasn't practical for a certain reason (I forgot exactly what), so they moved 9th grade down into Middle School (Jr. High) and moved 6th down into Elementary. It's been that way ever since and we've all become used to it. I can't imagine 6th grade in a middle school even though that's probably what most of the other schools do.

Sept. 2 was my first day of school. It used to start in late August, but a few years ago they changed the starting date to after Labor Day like it was in the past. It's an awesome change. School gets out at pretty much the same time, so slightly longer summer. :)

Speaking of changes, my first year at Elementary had the school day end at 3:00, and then it was switched to 3:15 the rest of my time there. Then in 7th when I moved to Middle, the school day ended at 2:55. They changed it to 3:01 for my next two years there. Now I'm in 10th, and it ends at 2:11. I'm confident it's not going to continue the pattern, but who knows...

Well, my first day of school was today, and it was very easy. I got finished with three weeks worth the work already in an hour and a half.
