MAKe-Up WORK!

So... back to the conversation about school.. and homework. After missing a week of school, I finally just got ALL OF MY HOMEWORK DONE!!!!! and it feels GREAT!!!!! It just seems like it takes a ton of extra time to get stuff done when your not at school. Or sometimes it is the exact opposite of that. Sometimes I feel like it is pointless to sit and class and do the same exact thing that you would have to do at home. Especially when it will be just be like 10 times easier just to take the work home.

Anyways- while I was gone, I had like a ton of homework! Imagine that huh?! Just kidding.... But it just felt like I had 2 weeks worth of work, rather than just a week. It even made me realize how advanced my classes are. Afterall, they are all college credit classes! I guess I just didnt realize it before.

Busy Busy BEE!!!

Wow what a day this has been at school. After being gone for like a week for a vacation- I realized that missing school is fun while your gone, but totally sucks when you have to go back and have a weaks worth of make-up work. It always seems like it is more of a hastle to do more homework then it is to sit in class all day and just do it as it goes. Afterall everybody hates homework right?! I DO!!!!! Iv gotta get back to doing some of that make-up homework! blah...
So afterI posted my last blog about "school" I started to think even more. I started to think about how much smarter exchange students are then us. Like really- they are the ones who should be struggling a little bit more than the American students.They don't even speak English as their 1st language, so you think it would be hard for them(especially in english class) but it isn't. I just dont get it.


Math is a different story though. The Chinese Exchange student told me how math in every country is about the same. Especially when you compare China and America. He also told me how easy the english language is and how easy it is to catch on. Plus, they have their little computer things that sit on their desk that translates everything for them ( I think that is unfair). I also learned that America recieves the most exchange students compared to the other countries. It is almost like the countries just generate the students and they all come to America. I guess that just shows us how America is viewed compared to the other parts of the world:)

School. S.C.H.O.O.L- a word put together with letters, that just totally dont make sense to me. Like why is school called school? who named it anyways... I was just bored so I sat here and analyzed it. Like why would you name it school? Can't it be called like Learning Expresses- or Your Future. Gees... I really don;t know what you would call it, but why school? hehe :)
So I kept thinking about "school" and started wondering what people in other countries call it. Do they call it "school" just in their own language, or do they have a completely other name for it. I sure don't know. Maybe i will just ask some of our foreign exchange students.
