Especially since you haven't been the first to say it, I'm really getting nervous about second semester in AP Chemistry now. I mean, I'm fantastic in this subject, but when so many people make it out to be so bad, my teacher included, it really doesn't make it look great.



Looks like you aren't the first to say it, since I remember a few conversations on that problem with AP classes. I really don't know why they wouldn't offer normal level classes, especially since AP is meant to challenge students who want to learn more and understand a bit about early college courses.

Well, for me, my teacher was pretty inexperienced too, it was his first year so yeah. I got a 2 on the exam and sadly, that was like the 2nd-3rd highest. This guy got a 4 but he studied all by himself, and only came to class for tests. And yeah, I really don't get it either. Most AP classes I had rather had inexperienced teachers or a subject I'm weak at. AP Human Geo teacher was a loony, AP Chemistry teacher was inexperienced, and AP US teacher is almost as bad as the AP Human Geo teacher. The worse part is that our school has a well qualified AP US teacher, but then he didn't teach the year I started (they also made AP US two years for some strange reason). My AP English teacher was actually good though, but then I completely messed up on exam day, then again, english really isn't my subject. My AP Bio teacher isn't bad either for now, and I had her for anatomy and was not too bad then either.

Random thought, but in the 8th grade, 9 or so years ago, my pre-algebra teacher gave us homework every week, and he never took it up, but during the last week of the year, he said to the class "turn in all of the homework we have done this year."

I turned in 1 piece of paper with maybe 10 problems written down on it, when it actually should've been well over 100 problems. I ended up getting a C in the class. I always did good on the tests, but I was just so lazy. Ever since then I've hated math, and I have to take freakin' calculus next semester in college.

For Higher Chinese, we have to do a review of any stories inside this specific book, filled with many short, miscellaneous and somewhat random stories. After reading through it all (and by that, I mean the "Contents" page), I decided to go with some short story about the History and Significance of Chopsticks. Yeah. This should be interesting.

I have discovered my one forte in Drama - voice acting, according to my teacher. I suddenly felt really happy when I first heard that (justified by the fact that I suck at pretty much everything else).

[Escalion]

Just something random I want to share that I really happy about.
My graduation research has been approved so I'll be flying to Thailand next semester

[dinosaurus]

ok

congrats on finishing the semester @ dinosaurus. what level of education are you at?

Lol.

Thank you sir. I'm in my second year of university so by the end of next semester I'll have done 2 years of university.
O_O seems cray.

Wow that's awesome, congratulations!

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Well my first day back wasn't too bad. During my short absence I didn't miss all that much, so I'm all caught up. Now I just have to make up a test and a few quizzes in the next week.

ah yes. third year is where it gets majorly depressing and the hope for a brighter future drains from your body

what are you studying

[Shayminlover123]

I hope my next 2 years in high school don't go by fast (ive heard stories about college)

[eBay Huckster]

it took you that long?

did all my homework in class with my mates

Wow, sounds like things are crazy in your high school. The only bad thing at our school was an instance where one teacher was fired, but the rest of our teachers have been okay, even with scores on AP tests. Our AP Chemistry teacher personally has never had anyone score a 5 on the test, but I'd love to be able to change that. My hope for that decreases each chapter, though.

Been missing lots of days of school in a row... Three consecutive fridays, which really messes me up. I had to make up Four quizzes and a test on the Monday of this week, and tomorrow I have yet another two tests and two quizzes ._.
Only my freshmen year of High School- don't think it gets any better. Is this legit overload or am I just crying about it?

[dinosaurus]

Ha! That's reassuring. I began to feel like that in the first year. 5 classes each semester + part time work, uuuuuugh. Plus I did really bad, and I feel like I didn't do that great this semester either. :l

Not sure yet.. was thinking social work, then criminal justice, now psych. Took a second-year crim. j. course this year and .. somewhat enjoyed it. Taking a couple psych courses next semester which I'm super excited. I took intro and really enjoyed it so we'll see.

it took you that long?

hahah. agreed.

Don't worry; I'm right there with ya. I have a bunch of quizzes to make up, and a test. I'll admit, freshman year has been a little hectic for me as well, but we must perservere!

[EmphaticPikachu]

searching up data for my sociology essay...I need professional sources to cite for this crap.

So When I search up "sociology culture of poverty crtics" Google gives me the option to only show scholarly articles. I immediately clicked yes cause I thought it would narrow my search...

Oh it did, but it doesn't matter because I need an account or something view over half the crap =_= XD

Back to my sociology book for references...I wanted to be different and use unique sources ;-; XD

That's what happens when you miss school. If you really care about your grades, especially in the later years of high school, you won't miss school unless it is absolutely necessary.

[Grim Heaper]

So I've been missing my AM chemistry lectures. Honestly though, the stuff that is taught is almost taken word for word from the textbook, and the examples done in class can be either found in the book or online on his webpage. By skipping these classes, I am able to sleep longer and be more awake for my other lectures. Honestly, I think this is a useful trade-off, as I can study with my textbook later in the day rather than wake up at the crack of dawn to attend the lecture.

What do you guys think?

Well, it's a really tough subject, but I guess you can try. I might've been able to get a 3 if my teacher was experienced

welp, I'm about to start a big rant, so, you may stop reading if you wish....

I fu cking hate my school librarian >_> seriously, since the first fu cking day I walked in that sh ithole, I was ALWAYS studying. The librarians kick out whoever talks, and I practically never had a long conversation, except once, which wasn't loud and obnoxious or about some non school related thing; it didn't even last the whole f ucking period. Then, I go to the library yesterday and she says I've been banned (note- I didn't have the conversation this week, it was a week back), and I let it slide, thinking everyone might accidentally make mistakes. Then I come back the next fu cking day, and ask her if there was a mistake, since I basically never talked, except that once, which was over a week ago. But then the bi tch looks me straight in the eye, and fu cking tells me that I have to be quieter and I was really loud the day before yesterday (note- the day before yesterday, I worked on my college applications) and that I have to go to lunch. I tell her again if she's sure, but then, she says that I have to show the fu cking work I do to get in. I told her that I was studying for the SATs/ACTs etc. almost everyday, but then that bi tch fu cking says I'm fu cking arguing and that I better follow her orders. I can see why he library is so fu cking loud everyday now. She's too fu cking retarded to know who's being an a ss and who's not. I hope I never have to go to that forsaken sh ithole or make eye contact with that bi tch ever again.


Sorry for the excessive cursing and avoiding filter, needed to get this out of my system, I just get mad when people accuse me of things I never did.Give me an infraction or report or whatever if you need.
