The Front Porch

[Mike M]

Wasn't there a renovation in 2002? Google Earth Historical shows your school MUCH smaller before then.

Yes, the school was expanded by more than twice its size in 2001.

Apparently Haslett High has been around for more than 100 years... which I find hard to believe. Up until the 90's (92 I think) the current middle school was the high school.

The older part of my school (built in '75) was heavilly renovated in 2006-2007, with lockers replaced, fresh coat of paint, renovated bathrooms and science labs, and other stuff.

Damn you all and your new schools! My high school was built in 1911 and last renovated (partially) in 1980.

I beat you all! My school was originally built in 1906 as a small schoolhouse... and the building it is in now was built around the time I was born

so we're starting to wrap up the semester, and my first year in college...

what can I say? i've had such a good time, i'm definitely looking forward to next fall. i'll be taking summer courses back in San Antone (at San Antonio College) to get somewhat ahead.

so far, I have 3 A's and 2 B's...i'll take it =D

we're currently going through "dead week" which means nothing, basically. next week are finals, and soon followed by summer

Ugh I am jealous of your grades.  I have 2 A's and 2 C's this semester (that C might go to a B ) :[. Last semester I got 2 C's 2 A's and a 2 B's I have done HORRIBLE my freshman  year of college...but somehow my academic standard is "Good" so I will for sure take it haha.  I am also taking a summer class, Intro to Meteorology..  Speaking of which, I have to take FOUR more math classes before I off to the University... so I might be staying an extra semester or cramming in a minimester and summer class.. I don't know yet.

What year are you now?

[wxmediafan]

Martin-- I am a freshman.    So, I have a ton of room to improve. 

[TWCToday]

Wow I totally can not read today Your doing just fine. A lot of time to improve

[phw115wvwx]

During my eight years in college, I overheard many freshman college students being surprised by the pace of classes and the difficulty of exams.  Academics, high costs, and social issues explain why the college freshman dropout rate is around 25%.  Al and Kyle, your overall grades are actually in good shape, and you've both weathered your freshman years quite well.

It's funny how I'm getting to that age. I've been eaten alive by stress ever since middle school, and paranoia has only increased in recent months. Great grades at the moment, but that can always change.

[Anistorm]

After days of studying, I can safely say that I did really well on my math midterm today. I mean, yeah, the stress just comes to you, but you gotta get used to it. Yes, Aaron. Stress can eat you alive. It's a true statement.

[wxntrafficfan]

I must say different people handle stress differently. But it's another thing to consider what adds on the stress. Stress coming from homework and only academic related issues, is stress you know won't last a while. You can easily attack it. But when you get all kinds of stress from every last aspect of your life, it's a whole different story. It's even worse when self-consciousness comes into the picture. I had a horrible dream last night due to the stresses from the past few months, and it actually haunted me all day.

Anyways, going off the beaten path for a moment, it's a little odd how youtube ID'd the audio in this video of mine...

[Localonthe8s]

That's a wrong song ID, must've been mismatched
