Wow, and it only takes like a minute to get a post from any of the other people who are thousands of miles away from me.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

I'll figure this out when I'm not exhausted lol, but for future reference, I (in England) am smack bang on GMT now, which makes Annie 5 hours ahead of me I think.

I'm at GMT - 7
It is amazing to talk to ppl all over the world
internet is awesome

+1 from you(AnnieBee), -9 hours with Louis, (based on your time difference) -1/-2 hours from Fathskie, +3h from HitNrunner, -6h from Incomer, and -2 from Valkyrie

Im in West Virginia, so GMT-5.

Here is a link to make it easy to find out what time it is for you when its 12:00PM (Noon) for me.

Im GMT -6..Lifes good..Internet is good...

LOL!!! Yes, I recalled that much. You had mentioned it to me before so that one was easy to locate on the globe for Christian. He-he, I cheated, (but he doesn't know it )

I think I am GMT - 8

So you would be (if in the US) somwhere on the west coast?

Cool idea Annie. You are definitely right that the time differences for Louis and I are enough that either of us are usually up at odd hours working on stuff when chatting together. He is exactly 12 hours different then me, so the middle of my day is his night, the middle of his day, it my night xD It's made for some goofy meeting times for both of us, but is also convenient to remember.

Yes, I live in Santa Ana, California (OC).

Can not be that bad, everybody thinks I am rich because I am from the OC. The OC is not a good place to live if you like the peace and quiet.

Math was never my strong subject yet i use it all the time in C++ Coding and I'm good at it, How Odd!

Orange County, I call it the OC because there is a TV show called the OC. If you ever watch it, none of it is true (not everybody has a ferrari or porshe).

Orange county..im pretty sure.

I hate algebra with a passion. The only good part about my class is that I have an awsome teacher. What are you learning in Algebra right now?

I hate algebra, goo thing im not doing it in School right now! Im doing stupid decimals, dividing them, I get algebra later this year..like in a month.

YOU CAN TEACH ME! Or help me wiht it when i get started...

So you want to be a teacher?

I don't hate Algebra too bad. I have a really good book that makes it easy on me

I think she IS one.

I kinda like decimals because I enjoy the history behind it. The romans as a punishment to their army for certain reasons with go threw something called decimale (or something like that) and one out of every tenth soldier would be killed.

Wow...23 years..why would u torture kids that long? Just kidding, just kidding. Im in 8th !! woot!

Wait, you are Puerto Rican? My cousins and Aunt are Puerto Rican, so you speak Spanish Fluently (spelling).

So you taught your daughter, did it put you under pressure? Because other kids could complain that you give your child special treatment so and so. I enjoy english but it is my worst subject grade wise.

LOL, my mom has taught every grade from pre-K to 10th
she has taught all of us kids (3)

Pre-k? How can u teach pre-k? lol

So are you homeschooled? Or was your school a private school or just a really small public school?

homeschooled, all my life.
I've never known anything else

Shes homeschooled...as am I. And numerous other ppl on here.

Do you like the Inheritance trilogy more because you are homeschooled? Then do you have alot of more free time and do you have homework?

What did you teach P-K kids? I do not remeber learning anything in P-K accept how to be nice to other people and the phrase, "that's final!"

I don't know how I could like it more cuz I'm Homeschooled. I respect the author more cuz he was homeschooled too but I don't like it any more than anyone else.
I don't really have homework, unless I don't get done on time. My free time depends on the school day and how hard it is

All our woek is homework! And alot of kids in public school would have more free time but teachers dont wanna teach so they send their kids home with a crapload of homework, and kids put all their free time in doing extra curriculur(sp?) activities.

Were you once at a public school?

Yeah, in 2nd and 3rd grade. I wnated to kill mysekf once, cuz i thought no one liked me...I was wrong, dead wrong.

I have never been in any kind of school.

So you have been homeschooled ever sense

or you could be on the other side of the fence, like me, wishing i was homeschooled. we dont really get much free time, like maybe from six to ten each night, not counting when ppl are at basketball or football or wrestling or for the girls it would be dance or cheer or somethin. are you really only being taught two or three hours a day? that's awesome. what do you do with the rest of the day?

Yes, i have. I was homeschooled from kindergarten to the start of second grade also.

Yeah I am in Wrestlng and Practice ends at five so that means I get home at five thirty if I am lucky.

wrestling and football = 2 best sports in the world

What weight class are you?

140-145. been like that for a whole year. you?

Same with me, who do you wrestle for?

[color=cyan]In pre-K we teach children the colors, the shapes, numbers 1-10, the vowels. We do a lot of fine motor skills activities which will enable them to write properly when the time comes. They learn to trace, from top to bottom, cut, color and glue.
This is one of the reasons our children do not write their names all in caps, like many of them do here. They are taught early on the appropriate way to do it before they pick up bad habits.
They go through social skills, listening skills, visual discrimination, order of events ect. They even take a nap.

Is there a student that you really hated? Or did you like all of your students.

Did you just teach English or did you teach multiple subjects?

Sounds tough..I couldnt do it.

What was it like in the Military Academy, were there people who were there because of their bad behavior?

Oh, OK I asked that because I know someone who went to Military School because he had horrible behavior in school and to his parents.

Well must be a different school then.

Do they have any sports there, or did you coach any sports while you taught?

Is Spanish your first Language?

Yes it is!! Why do you ask?

Because you said you translated all the names of the sports, which you got all correct. Plus you said you taught in Puerto Rico and you have to speak spanish well to teach there.

Really, I did not know that. I thought that all schools were Spanish curriculum

Yeah have you tried teaching spanish in CA?

so you are working for your certificate so you can work in California.

How cold is it up there?

No snow, it was raining today over hear to but not as badly.

I've been cheated out of my White Christmas. It snowed only twicw this year. Once days before Halloween and second on Dec. 1st. That's it.

Global Warming, that is why there is no snow

Wow..!! How rare... (seeing AnnieBee goes off topic for about... 4 pages...?? ) LOL !! just joking ms.Annie!

*cough*

Well as everybody can see on my profile, my location is GMT +7 on the equator. If you don't recall which part of the world GMT +7 is,, you can either search on Google or open Date/Time in your windows control panel or try to find out my IP address, or (the easy way) I can just tell you ,,..I live in Indonesia.

that means I'm in the exact opposite of all of you from the USA, only a slight difference with ppl from Asian continent,, about 4 hours (?) from Louis and 6 or 7 hours from people on Europe.

Ow.. hey can anyone explain about the DST a bit?

Oh yeah, I never knew that not every country did DST hehe.

Anyway fathskie, because in the winter here it is only light for a short time in the day, random people decided it would be good to change the time at certain points in the year.

In spring, we wind the clocks forwards 1 hour.
In Autumn, we wind them back 1 hour.

And it's really annoying in my opinion. I can't remember what the benefit is, just that in the Autumn and Winter, you are meant to get more hours of daylight because if it got dark at say, 4 o clock normally, once you have wound the clock back, it would get dark at 5 o clock instead.

If anyone feels like adding anything, go ahead.

i love dst! my time zone is UTC +8 to +11 *feels special for having two time zones* anyway, i'm in australia, so i dont know what sort of football you talk about! anyway, off topic....

How do you have two time zones?

i dunno, i just googled it, and it sez: Time Zone: UTC +8 to +11

It must mean one end of Australia is +8 and the other end is +11. You would have to find what part of Australia you live in, and see the timezone just for that area.
