Yoga in Class

I love my school.

I share my fourth block (Honors Genocide and Human Nature) with the Psychology students (about four of us are in my class, the rest psychology or Civics & Economics).  We're an interesting and politically opinionated bunch, and we get into many fascinating discussions.  The teacher's a first year teacher but probably the best first year teacher I've ever had- she's awesome.

The Psychology curriculum includes a project on Yoga, Meditation, and Acupuncture, and I assume as a result of that, today we went down to the modular classroom and got out some mats and did yoga.

It was fun.

Also I finally, finally, finally got a new chapter of "Searching" out, so I'm proud of myself.

I'm so jealous of the way you Americans get cool classes about genocide and human nature and I'm stuck doing boring old Latin ;)

Admittedly, I'm at a fairly... let's go with "special" school. My old one just had boring classes.

What, one for geniuses?

Gah, we have to stick to the nat'l curriculum over here, and ... I still don't know why the fuck I inflicted Latin GCSE on myself. It sucks. Majorly. I'm burning my copy of the Aeneid post-exams.

It's for kids who didn't work out well at their other schools. Mostly drop out prevention, though I never quite got that far in my hatred of my last school.

Due to my middle school French not counting for credits, and French classes at the local college not counting for credits, I am voluntarily inflicting two years of Latin on myself next year.

I'm never going to have a life if I don't get those two language credits, though...

LATIN IS A LANGUAGE WHERE INFINITIVES HAVE TENSES. DON'T DO IT. DON'T DON'T DON'T. Do Spanish?

I'm honestly leaning towards shelving my pride and retaking French.

Do French! It's useful! People still speak it! I can help :)

I know...

It's just that I already took French I-III. I did well in French (mostly). And as beautifully easy as it would be to take French I again for credit this time, every time I think about doing so I want to thow something.

Why? Better to improve your French and get amazingly high marks, no? Leaves you more time to do other things like writing
