Honors english = my coffin 

I feel ya :V My senior year I took AP/honors English. My teacher assigned sooo much work, including a 20 page essay along with a bunch of other stuff. He also didn't seem to realize that a lot of people taking his class took other honors or AP classes besides his, and those were very busy too. Fun times.

Eh thats the reason im not taking Honors Humanities next year

I am currently learning a lesson in the definition of work this semester... AP European history, Dual-Enrollment Calculus, and AP Biology (online). I would DIE if I had to complete 20 page essays for English on top of that! Sounds like you had quite the senior year.

PS. NO CLUE how to end a double quote, plz forgive

It's my username. The brackets make things funny ^^' But yeah, I had 5 AP AP classes that year, 2 of them being also dual credit/enrollment type things. My English teacher was just a little new I think, and after most of the classes brought it up he said he'll do better the next year. Too late for me though

Today I was at school when an acquaintance of mine approached me and showed this website:

sites.google.com/site/oconeediscriminationdatabase/home

The site has been taken down but as you can see just by the name, it seems like some website about discrimination in Oconee county made somewhat unproffesionally on google sites. The reality is that it was a list of so called "bigots" at my school (North Oconee High School). I was #3 on the list. I've been charged with homophobia, anti-gay views, and sexism. I am not sexist. Sure I am right wing, and sure I am not exactly pro gay, but I am also not parading around saying that. Not tto mention that doesnt make me a bigot in my mind. I want to punch some $hit.

If the site's not being made into a big deal, ignore them. If you don't act like a jerk towards other people then you're fine.  When I was in sixth grade I remember some kid making a similar site, albeit about inappropriate gossip involving students and teachers, not discrimination.

I agree with what Amethyst said. Just ignore it unless the site was a really big deal at your school. For a while I had some friends who thought some similar things about me and after talking to them a bit, they believed me that I'm not. Basically, just don't make a big deal about it, and if people ask or are upset about what the people who made the site said about you, as long as they're reasonable, there shouldn't be any problem at all.

PS. googled your high school to see what state you were in (to kind of get an idea of the situation). As long as I saw the right school I live in Georgia too

Yes. Probably not too big a deal. Of the friends I have most are now referring to me as "3" over texts in a joking manner. One really gullible one believes the stuff... has made a note that I am now blocked on his phone .

Yep I live in Georgia.

That's good that your friends haven't taken it too seriously. I do suggest either you talk to your friend who blocked you or to get one of your other friends to do so.

Yeah, I don't know the exact situation but just outright blocking you seems a bit silly.

Im doing well. Im taking Bio-kinetics, and physiology. Ill probably take more medical classes after. Don't ask me why, i'm already a writer. Im just interested in the body and what I can do to it I guess. Idk if ill ever even work as any kind of doctor.

I'm a few weeks into my spring semester now, and so far all my classes seem good. I'm itching to start on some new ceramics projects too ^^ I decided to take a yoga class; my sister said she tried it before and wasn't a fan but I'm really liking it. Also it may sound weird, but my intro to theatre teacher kind of reminds me of an older Cheza... She even offhandedly mentioned fursuits on the first day

I'm also seriously considering changing my major to philosophy. I've gotten really into it lately, or rather I've been for awhile without realizing it. I still don't know what the career prospects are for that sort of field though...

Knee deep in mathematics once again with the onset of the spring semester. I am absolutely loving all this calculus, and linear algebra is turning out to be a really cool subject! Math is pretty awesome.

Hello all. It is that magical time of the year again where everybody is hitting the books, cramming for exams, and hoping that when they get called on to answer a question that they don't make a fool of themselves. School is back in full swing! I figured we could use a dedicated place to talk about it.


So how is it going for everybody? I am having a pretty good semester so far. It is the first time I have been knee-deep in math for a while and I am loving every minute of it! I might change my tune though when I get my exams back at some point next week, though I think I did well. Walking around campus is great; I am getting lots of exercise. Meeting a bunch of new people is always cool too! I am hoping that maybe I will actually run into another furry, though I won't really hold my breath on that one.


How about y'all?

My only problem is that I don't get to expose my true self and a lot of other people can't as well. I feel like they should at least allow neko ears and other things like that at my school, but nope, they just have to keep oppressing shit. It's really hurting my self esteem and making me feel bad.
