"This is a serious time."

^Thanks to Mr. White for providing us with motivation for final exams. Remember, students, he's very proud of you, as he repeats, without fail, at the end of every announcement.

On that note, still no news to report on the finals schedule front. My guess is they'll wait until the afternoon of Thursday of next week to tell us, so that we'll have little to no time to complain. They can't tell us Friday, because the seventh hour final will take place on Friday. Of course, I'm sure the teachers know, because they have to make tests. . .Alternately, they could've been told to prepare for a one-and-a-half hour final; that way, if the finals get extended, the only adverse effect for them will be sitting in a classroom for an extra forty-five minutes, pretending not to notice students cheating. . .

Also, in a recent announcement, Mr. White made it clear that if students did not show up for their lunch time detentions, they would receive harsher punishments. This is a logical change from the previous policy, which apparently allowed students to just show up whenever it was convenient for them. Still, while it's logical, the honor level system is still incredibly ridiculous, especially for a high school.

Have a good Friday.
