The school's curriculum includes courses in science, math, language arts, and social studies, as well as outdoor activities like kayaking, rock climbing, and backpacking. For students who are looking for a break from the traditional classroom setting, semester schools like Alzar School offer a refreshing alternative.

That period of time around the last couple weeks of classes and during exam week where you feel so overloaded and stressed that you would rather lay in bed with cookie dough ice cream and watch Family Guy than do anything productive. This is a very dangerous condition that may result in severe loss of motivation, feelings of helplessness, poor diet, weight gain, exhaustion, and the end of the world.
"Hey, girl, are you excited for the end of classes?"

A victim of senioritis. Often displays symptoms of apathy, procrastination with the realization that it-be 'it' school, sports, whatever-doesn't really matter anymore. Second semester seniors can be found lying in bed, on facebook, at a party, or anywhere that requires the least amount of work possible. The most important question to a second semester senior is:
'Does it REALLY matter?'

Students are no longer considered a second semester senior once they have graduated, whereafter procrastination and laziness is their own damn fault.
A second semester senior may have been anybody before senioritis hit- an IB/AP whiz, stoner, that foreign kid- because senioritis will claim anyone and everyone as its victim.
yo holmes, i ain't doin my psych poll- im a second semester seniorrr.

A second semester senior receives an F for both achievement and effort.

I am writing this definition instead of filling out scholarship info.
It is a good choice.

A friend you make the first semester at a new school. This is especially true of college. They will be one of your first friends and kind of fun, until you make close friends and your plans with the first semester friend get less and less frequent... one lunch date per week turns into one text turns into maybe a nod if you're feeling social. The friendship will never make it beyond first semester.
"Have you talked to Nicole lately?"
"Nah, I saw her on campus once and it was awkward. I guess she's just a first semester friend"

An amazing experience where a group of students (38 for example) learn with their minds, hearts, and hands and find their ways through life together.
MCS was an amazing four months and I miss it very much.
