GAME: This Or That?

George Harrison has said those two albums were so close in conception and execution they may as well have been titled Volume I and II, but if I had to choose, it would be Revolver, mostly because of Tomorrow Never Knows...then again, Rubber Soul has In My Life...nuts, can't I have them both?

Patrick Carpentier or Jacques Villeneuve?

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Fri Feb 29, 2008 11:16 pm

I do not know either. But Jacques Villeneuve sounds like a cool name.

Something a gave a lot of thought to while on this mission of a hike through the very rocky terrain/mountains of NZ's Volcanic Plateau last week:

With regards to hills, up then down or down then up?

Up then down.

Hiking a mountain or walking a long trail around a lake?

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Sat Mar 01, 2008 1:05 am

Well, our massive hike included both in one day. The middle day was a 12 hour slog with heavy-arse packs! Conquering Mount Ngauruhoe (aka Mount Doom) was definitely the highlight of the day. But damn, it was a mission. We had to conquer the Devil's Staircase with our packs on before reaching the base of the mountain which we then conquered after ditching the packs. But we also conquered one of the peaks of Mount Tongariro next to it that day as well and that was with our packs on too. We were absolutely buggered by lunchtime.

So I will say climbing the mountain was more fun than a long walk around the lakes up there.

Out clubbing -> hit the dance floor or sit around chatting with mates?

moonwolf021 · Post by **moonwolf021** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 1:33 am

dance floor. you can chat with your mates when you're not at a DANCE club.

Winterformal or Homecoming?

sweetharleygirl · Post by **sweetharleygirl** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 10:08 am

Homecoming (we never had winter formals)

Homecoming or Prom Royalty (which would you rather be)

moonwolf021 · Post by **moonwolf021** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 3:59 pm

Prom

off campus lunch or cafeteria

ODDBALL715 · Post by **ODDBALL715** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 7:41 pm

Off campus lunch. We don't have it at my school.

History homework or Spanish homework?

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Sat Mar 01, 2008 7:47 pm

History.

May I ask as an ignorant NZer, what is the difference between Prom and Homecoming? Our version was called a Formal, but we only had one of those.

Renaissance Europe or Classical Greece?

ODDBALL715 · Post by **ODDBALL715** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 7:51 pm

Classical Greece

Prom is the most formal, usually only open to Juniors and Seniors, and at the end of the year. Homecoming is semi-formal, usually open to all grades, and at the beginning of the year.

Too much noise or complete silence?

Echus Cthulhu Mythos · Sat Mar 01, 2008 8:24 pm

I am normally surrounded by noise, but as long as it isn't too loud. I don't particularly enjoy listening to the ring in my ears when there is silence.

By Juniors and Seniors do you mean like the 2 final years at high-school? I don't know very much about the American school system. What is College, that is what I would call University, yes?

moonwolf021 · Post by **moonwolf021** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 2:33 am

1st year at high school: Freshman
2nd " " " " : Sophomore
3rd " " " " : Junior
4th " " " " : Senior

Homecoming: Non formal (or in Oddball's case semi formal) dance held in September or October open to all grades usually after a school (American) football game

Winterformal: Formal dance open to all grades held between December and February

Prom: Extremely formal dance open to Seniors and sometimes Juniors held around May

Cheers for the edification. So high school is only 4 years in the US? In NZ it is 5 years and high-school/college are both used interchangably to describe the same thing. What age do you graduate high school? How long does college last for? I finished high school when I was 17 (about 70% of people in NZ are 18 when they graduate before moving onto university).

Anyway, to get this forum back on track...

Mornings off and classes in the afternoon/early evening or afternoons off with classes in the mornings?

All my lectures are afternoons this semester, but I score Friday off so it's all good.

moonwolf021 · Post by **moonwolf021** » Sun Mar 02, 2008 2:59 am

Pre-School (Pre-Kindergarten) : 4 and under
Kindergarten : 5-6
1: 6-7
2: 7-8
3: 8-9
4: 9-10
5: 10-11
6: 11-12
7: 12-13
8: 13-14
9 (Freshman): 14-15
10 (Sophomore): 15-16
11 (Junior): 16-17
12 (Senior): 17-18

Grade Schools/Elementary School in my area are generally K-5, but are often K-6
Middle School/Junior High are usually 6-8 but can be 7-8 and 7-9
High School is most often 9-12 but in some cases 10-12. Theres a school in my city that is 8-12

A reform is going through my school district and the Grade schools are combining with the middle schools to form K-8. Sometimes schools are K-12.

The school system varies slightly across the country. But this is the basic picture.
