Electronic High School

Despite how awesome it sounds, taking online classes is a living hell. I mean, sounds nice to be able to take English at home in your Pj's eating ice cream, right? No! NOT nice! It is so easy to get behind in these classes. I mean, you'll be coasting along doing only enough assignments to keep you from getting kicked off the roll. Everything is fine and you're not really worried about it. Until one day you wake up, and Hey, You're 2 bloody quarters behind! Suddenly, you're in a panic with you're parents sitting on your lap daily screaming at you to get caught up! No more lazy Sundays reading Calvin & Hobbes for you! Work, work, work!
It's so ridiculously easy to forget about online classes. It's impossible to forget to attend you're AP World History class at school, but when it's online, you just coast around on a strict computer diet of Facebook and Sims2. The internet holds wonder and glory for you. Until, of course it suddenly hits you that "Oh, I'm not going to graduate. I didn't take that World History class, did I?"
It's like some sort of poor joke, or maybe more like a nightmare. You're wearing no shoes being chased by giant spiders through Hogwarts Forbidden Forest. Until you're sucked into a Windows Computer. Then you're wandering about the internet, updating Facebook and stumbling about on Google Images. Then everything goes dark, and you're on SIS, checking you're grades. Suddenly, you're principal walks up to you. "No graduation for you! Mwahaha!" Everything starts spinning, and you finally remember: EHS! Nooooo. . . And wake up in a cold sweat. (Nooo, of course I haven't had that dream. *Loud eye-roll* )
Then once you factor in the fact that you're taking 3 online classes that you may or may not have completely forgotten about, you're pretty much screwed. Like me. :/
Since I remembered EHS, I've been working practically non-stop on the stupid thing. Then a couple of weeks ago, my Algebra 2 teacher got cancer and went on sick leave. The School principal, Dr Donaldson (Or as us students so "fondly" call him Voldemort) stupidly decided "Lets put these students in an Online Class!
It's called Aleks, and is apparently very effective. Or at least Voldemort thinks so. Now, we all spend most of our class time on the computer pretending to work. I'm pretty sure one of these days, technology will take over, and we'll end up in some sort of Matrix situation. Or the computer monitors will suck us up, and we'll spend the rest of our days inside the internet while our young 16 year old bodies deteriorate in the real world. They'll be sorry then. Or not.
Real Class Total: 1. Online Class Total: 4. This is ridiculous.
