Nope! we have quite a flexible dress code. The main rules are no stomach, shorts shorter than finger length, extreme cleavage, and general no vulgar or harsh language on your clothes. Sweatpants aren't allowed either (for some reason) but people don't care, and wear them anyways. From what I hear, teachers are not allowed to wear jeans, and neither are students if a fancy event is on that day. (ex. : Easter celebration, must go in chapel attire, jeans are not considered chapel attire. ) Sometimes we have dress-down days when you can wear whatever you'd like. Though most people just wear sweatpants because all other rules still apply, it's a bit strange.

If you're lucky, sometimes teachers will let you go to lunch early. ]]> 2021-11-01 12:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/melanie_spransy/phwe75cjjkyq/wish/1858647760 https://padlet.com/melanie_spransy/phwe75cjjkyq/wish/1858647966 I draw mainly using pencils and charcoal, because in my opinion, they are very expressive mediums.

In my opinion shorter class with different topics are better than long class with short topics because if you are in a short class learning different topics the class in general is short even though you are learning a lot more different topics, just the idea of having a shorter class is better if that makes sense

I'm a big fan of books that contain elements of both fantasy and romance, and if you were going to read a specific series, I highly recommend "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas (for mature readers)

I also found the language to be interesting because of how the grammar in it is similar and different from English. In fact, I partially like the way grammer works in Spanish better than in English. I mainly picked it because I thought it would benefit me the most out of the three. Hopefully after I am done with school I will find a way to use Spanish.

The workload is a lot heavier but we have a lot more time to manage our time and get things done and talk with our teacher if we need to. We have a lot of time to hangout and do whatever we need to or just relax or play spikeball! Everyone takes 8 classes, 5 of which you have each day which helps with managing things. High School is really great and it's been a fun adjustment to make!

I feel that this is due to the amount of freedom we are all given. For example, all freshman have a study hall and everyday we will have at least 35 minutes of tutorial where we can see teachers.

So Latin is actually helpful for learning other languages like Spanish.
