Rings aren't strictly necessary, if we're not using centrifugal force for artificial gravity.

SC, you previously said "I am going to draw the space shuttle, so I assume this is your drawing. But please, everyone, when you submit art, tell us right along with it that it is your own work. We can't risk rights violation by posting anything we don't have permission to show.

So. This thread was updated quite a while ago by Writing Warrior and a few seconds ago by SC, but I can see neither of their posts. Since I'm an impatient and impractical person, I will go on to write a post from Noah and give apologies. (You'll see what I mean)

Noah~

Almost to health class, the gravity controls are set off, and we all go floating. Since the teacher, three other students and I are the only ones in health, we decisivly wait, hovering above our desks. The teacher groans but I don't much care. It wasn't me. And techincly it's a problem. Maybe class will get delayed.

I look at the front cover of my yellow notebook, labeled "Notes" innocently. If you write in it in any class and show the cover to the teacher, they're sure to give you extra credit points. Not that they actually look at what you're writing. It gives me time to plot.

Today, instead, I write what the principal said to me. I remove a pencil from the secret pocket inside my vest, I keep a couple of useful things in there, and write the date at the top of teh paper. The the first disturbing thing the principal told me.

I want you to make friends.

I shudder. It's not that I hate other people, I'm a people person, really, it's just I'm at a point here where friends, comrades, allies, whatever, they'll all bring me down. It's not like I haven't had friends in the past. I have. It's just, a friend is a person to distract you, for you to grow attached to, someone who if they don't escape SSE you might go back for them. And now the principal was going to give me a dorm mate. I didn't know what to think. I frown and write the next thing.

You can't go to space alone. 

I think I perfectly understood what he meant and didn't get a word of it at the same time. One of the kids in the class intruped me thoughts. "Hey! How do you take notes and float at the same time?"

I look up at them, smile, and shrug. "Can't you?" I ask. They make no comment, but instead opt for staring at me as though I were some sort of circus freak.

You can't go to space alone.

Was the principal supporting me? Did he want me to over throw him, to make friends and escape SSE?

I stared at the words in my notebook, nothing making sense. 

Apologies:

Sorry for being off subject. You can't deny it, my comics kind of are! It's hard to keep up, and often times I will draw out the panels and the storyline will change. Also, the background characters, and everyone's characters in advance. If I draw your character, I'll try to make a profile and ask you about it first so you can tell me what I got wrong. I don't want to shape characters. That's why background characters and teachers are so plain.

You may have noticed the yellow stripe on the teahcer's shirt. I thought maybe it could be a sign of teacherdom. I don't know.

Also, yes, that's a Twin Spica referance, You can't go to space alone. I like that. So some of this isn't apologies. Still.

Zaga says "Ring!" Zaga's been thinking about the doorbell. When're you going to ring it? Ha.

Okay, what sites do you people use for image hosting?

Theo: Your Twin Spica reference elevates you to new levels of awesomeness in my eyes. Carry on.

Class work stuff: I really think we need a basis of what we're going to do.  For instance, how many classes do you want to have a day, and should the students have the same classes every day or switch (and if so, how should they switch?)? Is it okay to base it off of the IB program? My idea is this:

1. Social Science every year. World History or Econ.

2. English every year. This is is an English speaking school, right?

3. Mathematics every year. We can all kinds of advanced math courses.

4. Science ever year. Required two years physical (Chem, Phys) and two years life (Bio).

5. Electives: An art class (Drama, Music, Visual Art) ever year. Health... two years? Physical Education should probably be every year. (In my district, you're supposed to have it every day, but you either had it every other week or every other quarter in middle school. That's IB for you.) Then we can add other random classes... Computer Science, maybe. Oh, TOK! That'd be fun! 

Is that okay with you guys? Or do you want weirder classes?

Is anyone in IB here? Did you have to do the Personal Project? What kind of stuff qualifies? I've been considering learning Korean, but it'd be hard to learn to speak a language fluently within two years. Also, do you know what the difference between HL and SL testing is? Oh no! I just realised, you have one and a half years to complete your Personal Project! I'm doomed! No! It's even shorter! You begin in the spring of freshman year and it gets graded in the winter of sophmore year! *crawls under a desk and dies*
