They pack the class in tigher so you can spend more time focusing on a few things at a time or something. We used to do quarters, but I assume it's the same thing because they counted Summer as it's own quarter. It was amazing and I would kill to be on that instead of semesters. | ||

Also HS related, for the amount of times you're like why can't I draw my out, I just had it where I drew lethal. I had 11dmg on the board and fireball, which meant I was 1 dmg shy of lethal. Draw pyro. ggwp shaman. I cone of cold->blizzard->flamestrike->finally have board control.

It makes sense they wanted to create some terminology that was more unique but it can lead to some bad decisions lol Also HS related, for the amount of times you're like why can't I draw my out, I just had it where I drew lethal.

Can show how competitively i played MtG lol. With HS it even says on the bottom of the card if it is a "minion" or "spell" though :p Hmm all my schools were 2 semesters. Normally we would have 4 tests though and so after each testing week a "quarter" would end and you'd get 1 of your 4 report cards. Don't think we ever called it a trimester even though they all offered summer classes (although generally only if you failed, not to get ahead.) Public schools, yo. | ||
