<p>So tired…must sleep…ZZZ…</p>
<p>When do you guys all start?</p>
<p>Same here. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night because I had to wake up early for the freshmens’ first day of school. Meaning I should go to sleep around 9, but considering I still haven’t started my last APUSH chapter & objective questions for school tomorrow, that probably won’t be happening…</p>
<p>I started a good three weeks ago. It was rough at first (especially with our early start times), but I think I’m getting in the groove of things now, thankfully. Workload has been a bit hefty so far, though. For everyone that has already started, how has it been faring for you?</p>
<p>I’m already getting lazy and deciding what assignments I’m going to do and not due and try to calculate my grade. Sad, but true…</p>
<p>I start the 6th I can’t wait :). I wonder how’s the first day going to be?</p>
<p>I have orientation a week from today! I’m sort of hyperventilating and clutching at whatever vestiges of summer vacation I have left…
And I have a dental appointment on my last day of vacation. Bummer :(.
Not as bad as collegeluva’s dress code, but for what it’s worth (all-girls):
Oxford blouses (patterns allowed, must be buttoned nearly to top and tucked in, though nobody does)
Sweaters (if you want, whatever kind you like except denim or t-shirt)
Knee-length skirts (no pencil, not denim or cotton/clingy, only in boring colors eg black, gray, beige…)
Knee socks/tights at all times (can be nude pantyhose in summer)
Ballet flat-style shoes (no sneakers except gym, no boots in class, no bright colors)
No coats or sweatshirts in class
No logos on clothing (nobody listens)
No makeup (forget about multiple piercings, hair dye, etc.)
But we have fun anyway!</p>
<p>I start the 5th. Tomorrow I get my schedule!</p>
<p>Lucky you. Being that my school don’t have APs I get crappy regular class :(.</p>
<p>5 hours of sleep again, so today wasn’t fun .-.</p>
<p>APUSH: Much more chill than I thought it would be. The teacher does assign a lot of work, but she grades homework on effort and “completion”. She doesn’t even read it; she just skims. Everything is on a 100 point scale, so that’s cool. People tend to get C’s on her tests, but then they get 100’s on the homework, so it’s okay. She’s really sarcastic and mocked the Puritans every 5 minutes during class today, especially for not bringing a farmer with them overseas and for being so stuck-up. She also does her best to run it like an actual college lecture & discussion class; it’s cool.</p>
<p>AP Lang & Comp: My teacher loves group work, projects, and oral presentations. I hate all three more than any other types of assignments I’ve encountered in my life. I don’t know how well that is going to go for me, but my at least my best friend is in this class.</p>
<p>Computer Repair: It was dead silent all of class except for 1 kid who kept asking stupid questions. I knew that they wouldn’t have the best social grades, but nobody talked at all! ._. The teacher was cool, though. He seems really genuine and like he cares about his kids.</p>
<p>AP Chem: Boring, surprisingly. We played Around the World with ion names, and then did some out loud bookwork. I have two friends in that class, but no close friends. :/</p>
<p>I have an APUSH test Thursday, a comp. repair safety rules test Thursday, and a chem test Thursday or Friday.</p>
<p>I love my math teacher. I was expecting to get the worst one in my school, but then there was a schedule change and I got one of the best. We spent the first class talking about out hopes and fears for the class and then what we should of learned but never did in Algebra 2. We start learning functions next week (the class is elementary functions).
The rest of the teachers I had today I knew where good, so there was no surprise there. I have my first AP English test on Tuesday. I start APUSH tomorrow (we have block scheduling) so we will see how that goes.</p>
<p>Yeah, my dress code pretty much sucks…</p>
<p>But onto happier things! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my IB History teacher. He is like this old plump man whom anyone would love to have as a grandfather. He is SO funny, I think everyone in his class is cracking up every five minutes. And he knows so much about history and the world that it seems kind of impossible and scary.</p>
<p>I also like my TOK class, which makes my mind flip everytime I’m in there. But it’s all fun, all fun. I like Spanish. All the other classes are somewhat dull and have not sparked a definite interest within me. I spend almost all of Math HL, in my 6-person class (I LOVE small classes) laughing at how much my friend hates the class because he’s so bored.</p>
<p>All in all, school is going well so far. Tomorrow is our eigth day. It feels like it’s been at lease two months, which is not good. But, junior year, not so bad so far.</p>
<p>I’m quite sure, however, that by the end of this year I will have broken down crying at least once. But we’ll save that for later.</p>
<p>My bestfriend dropped AP chem to take an art class. I’m pretty mad. I hope the class doesn’t get cancelled.</p>
<p>Labor Day Weekend, peeps!</p>
<p>I’m working on a group project tomorrow, going to a pool party on Monday to celebrate my brother’s birthday, cleaning (or attempting to clean) my room, starting up my mountain of AP homework, and doing SAT prep. </p>
<p>How are you guys planning to spend it?</p>
<p>School did not start yet but I will be studying for the PSAT mostly because I want to get a national merit and pretty much that it. I will be doing this until the day of the test.</p>
<p>School hasn’t started for me either. I’m just trying to finish AP take home tests. They. Are. Awful. Also, APUSH is incredibly hard to learn without a teacher. Just sayin.</p>
<p>I start the 6th "/ But I’m All Ready For School Now!! </p>
<p>Sent from my LS670 using CC</p>
<p>I started school this past Thursday and already have too much homework, right now I am not sure why I am taking AP (they are the ones producing 90 percent of the homework).</p>
<p>@Artsygirl which?
@Devonte I know School needs to start already!!</p>
<p>For the next two days I’ll be:</p>
<p>*Halfheartedly studying for my 1st APUSH test on Thursday, consisting of the 1st 4 chapters of American Pageant
*Reading Huckleberry Finn (I was supposed to read it during the summer. Oops. I read it freshman year at a different school, though, so it’s not completely new to me). I don’t know when we’ll be tested on it, but I’m aiming to be about halfway done with it before class again on Tuesday, which will probably give me until Thursday or the following Monday to complete it before having a test or something.
*Hanging out with my boyfriend</p>
<p>That’s probably it, although I should be teaching myself more sections in my math book and studying a little bit for my chemistry test that’s also later this week.</p>
