Sorry?

[Tuesday Jan 6.09 ¬ 6:38 PM]

For being a lazy sonofagun and not updating in the amount of time it takes to grow rock candy?

Yeah, about that... well I have no real excuses.
Now we're almost into finals week (only two weeks, yikes) and not really a lot has happened. Thats a fat lie in actuality. Something real big is about to happen. Teachers and the like are going to vote sometime in the near future on the redesign plan, actually they may have already voted, it's a little hard to figure out what's going on. Anywho, the redesign plan is this plan (who woulda thunk it) the redesign crew has cooked up to help BHS become a better school and will supposedly stop children from "falling between the cracks" because apparently thats still occurring in abundance even after the small school switch up. In a nutshell, it'd make BHS have a block schedule with advisory on wednesdays and a closer knit community. Personally, I can't really think the block schedules will work out very well, seeing as it was previously tried (trying?) at both Willard and King middle schools, and based off those middle school memories it was hell. You can read the official redesign plan here: http://bhs.berkeley.net/index.php?page=berkeley-high-redesign-plan
and formulate your own opinions.

P.S. Whilst attempting to delete some of the hordes of spam this site gets I accidently was sucked into actually reading some of it (plus some potentially real comments), just sharing the better ones for the heck of it.

I hate this site. It hasn't been updated in years and everyone seems too positive on this site. 1/10 for me.
(sorry? we'll try and be negative in the future)

AW NO, what happened to your site? This would be amazing if only you updated it!
(this is only funny because it probably was Lauren)

Today marks the end of week one, which is probably almost one of the toughest weeks to get through, besides the usual, finals weeks, and that really long essay at the end of the year for some history classes...
This year the freshman made a point of stopping to check their schedules every five seconds in all the major arteries of our school hall ways. Apparently not many of them were offered a complementary tour of the school. It'll be a grand day when traffic lights and walking lanes are installed, as without them most students are stuck like sardines in between hallways (except you're crammed in next to sardines you've never met before!) and consequently, are late to the you always get there just after the bell rings yet still within reach (but really barely!) classes across campus. As revenge however, seniors made a point of being particularly aggressive on what marks the first of many freshman fridays. Eggs were soaring in beautiful ciseauz ballet leaps, before dashing the performance by landing on some poor freshman's backpack. If only he had ignored those who claimed freshman friday was not but an urban legend and stayed off Shattuck Ave. during lunch.
Many folks are wondering what the hecking heck is up with the Jacket this year? Apparently they ran out of funds, and there's an evil rumor going around that the Jacket has been made into a sixth period elective course! COULD IT BE TRUE? Well, nobody really knows yet and the counselors refuse to speak to most of the student body at the moment.
On a completely different note, I have made an informed decision that Ms. Tammer is not in fact the devil incarnate teacher.
