It's not touché either. I believe the correct spelling is "touch". (/sarcasm) |

I don't know about darkness, but my school has had four snow days this year. Understand, this is a lot considering I have never once in my twelve years of attending school had a snow day in this city. Ever. Also 3:19? Hah! I get out at 2:05...And I don't even have to come till 10:50!

I have to say, having very few classes isn't nearly as awesome as it seems. Only being at school for three hours makes it really hard to get motivated and do stuff, because, well, by the time I get there it's almost time to go. |

@Legend: I find the interface a lot more intuitive. It's also much faster than the other browsers. How it works here: Note: High schools get to choose what times they open and leave, they just have to have a certain number of instructional hours in each subject per year. Block 1 8:45 a.m. to 10:06 a.m. Block 2 10:16 a.m. to 11:37 a.m. Lunch 11:37 a.m. to 12:27 p.m. Block 3 12:27 p.m. to 1:48 p.m. Block 4 1:58 p.m. to 3:19 p.m. Ten minute break between the blocks, too. Courses are divided between alternating days, known as Day One, and Day Two, interesting given the creativity the Board is famous for in their naming process. In terms of holidays: Christmas, Remembrance, Thanksgiving, Family day, any Professional Development days (when the teachers get schooled in the newest sensations for teaching), Teacher's Convention (like the previous one, but it's more conventiony, with booths), New years (a part of the Christmas break, 2 weeks), Good monday, Good Friday, 2 weeks for Spring, 3 months for summer, And then just some other days, Victoria day, etc etc. For courses: D1
D2
I'll be going to my school's AP conference soon. H Canada’s Military Mission in Afghanistan: Time Well Spent? Graham Thomson was embedded with Canadian troops for two tours in Afghanistan. He will explain the complexities and challenges of Canada’s ongoing mission there. So far, this mission has cost the lives of 140 Canadian soldiers. Is it worth this sacrifice? Can the mission succeed? Graham Thomson will address these and other questions. Graham Thomson • writes on political issues for the Edmonton Journal • winner of a National Newspaper Award for excellent reporting • recipient of a B'nai Brith award for human rights reporting J The Reordering of Time during the French Revolution The French Revolution became most radical during its republican phase (1792- 1794). The French republicans carried out a de-Christianization campaign and imposed a new calendar on France. Professor Caradonna will explain the reasons behind the republican calendar and connect it to other radical measures of the time—including the Terror. Dr. Jeremy Caradonna • assistant professor, Department of History and Classics • areas of expertise include the Old Regime, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, and Environmental History There are more, I just C&P'd the ones I'd be doing. There's also a Keynote address by Bob MacDonald, Host of CBC's Quirks and Quarks, an internationally renowned scientific journalist. I also get free lunch ![]() Some of the Other options: Aboriginal Edmonton Through Time - Dr. Dwayne Donald Carbon Capture: An Idea Whose Time has Come? - Graham Thompson Exploring Time Through Literature - Laurie Greenwood How Nationalism Reconstructs Time - Dr. John-Paul Himka Diverging Cultural Perceptions of Time - Dr. Olenka Bilash Changing Perceptions of Human Rights over Time - Dr. Tom Keating Time Management - Dr. Billy Strean (He's also a stand up comic) The Physics of Time - Dr. Gerhard Lotz I don't want to include too much stuff, as I don't want people googling my school ![]() They all have considerable academic merits though.

![]() But , your schedule is so complicated. All those subjects per period and al those weird times. Why did they took 10:06 a.m and not just 10:10? And you have a 50 min lunch break, I only get 30 minutes :OMy schedule looks like this, but keep in mind that I don't have so many lessons because it's my final year. ![]() 1st hour 8:30-9:20 2nd hour 9:20-10:10 pauze 10:10-10:30 3rd hour 10:30-11:20 4th hour 11:20-12:10 pauze 12:10-12:40 5th hour 12:40-13:30 6th hour 13:30-14:20 5 min break 14:20-14:25 7th hour 14:25-15:15 8th hour 15:15-16:05 |

Think that's bad max? That's just my second semester.(I've already finished one). Due to the way it worked out, the only difference is my first block was multimedia daily and my fourth was computer science daily. As for the times, it is so we can start later. That, and having classes longer than an hour or so kind of wears on our attention spans. Just how everything works out. Edited by Ww2nerd, Mar 6 2010, 02:30 PM.

My school's schedule is pretty much structured just like Max's, except we don't have a five minute break later in the day and we only have seven hours. |

You guys are all weird. My structure is really easy - three 40-minute periods in the morning (usually two classes,) recess for 20 mins, then another three 40-minute periods, then lunch for 55 mins, and finally either one, two or three 40-minute periods. |
