<p>I’ve only had two weeks of school so no grades to share yet. AP Physics 2 Mech has been easy so far, same with APUSH. Latin 3 AP is getting ready to kill me though.</p>
<p>I dislike latin…</p>
<p>^ But with Latin, you can read all the esoteric Ivy League mottos! For example- lux et veritas? Light and truth, duhhh, Yale! </p>
<p>And you can impress Tony Stark. His secretary (played by the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson) speaks 7 languages. Including Latin. </p>
<p>[First</a> Look at Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow in Exclusive ‘Iron Man 2’ Clip! - The Moviefone Blog](<a href=“http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/04/23/iron-man-2-scarlett-johansson-black-widow-clip/]First”>http://blog.moviefone.com/2010/04/23/iron-man-2-scarlett-johansson-black-widow-clip/)</p>
<p>Well…she doesn’t speak Latin…spoken Latin is extinct! But I realize the importance of it, and I hope it helps me learn French, but I just dislike it.</p>
<p>Scarlett Johansson is certainly gorgeous but her cover is Tony Stark’s legal team. Pepper Potts, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, is his secretary.</p>
<p>/saw Iron Man 2 again recently</p>
<p>Latin is really tough. I probably have to concentrate more in that class than in any other. It tires me out mentally.</p>
<p>I actually enjoyed Iron Man still haven’t seen The Avengers.</p>
<p>i hate ap english. i have a 4 page essay due over the weekend</p>
<p>along with a 2 page essay in ap us history.</p>
<p>my other ap wasnt as evil tho, so a page of work for ap bio</p>
<p>I’m so glad I’m an underachiever (CC standards that is) and only took 2 AP :P</p>
<p>That is not too bad… My classes did not give us a lot this weekend, but the very first cday of school we were assigned a 5 page essay for APUSH and told we would have an in-class essay in English the next class which would be like four pages… How is AP bio (I want to take it next year)?</p>
<p>Well considering I had to a 5 page reflection on the book “a peoples history of the united states” by Howard Zinn for APUSH and a 7 page editorial for AP Eng, during the summer and we’re faced with this crisis, things kinda burn me out cause we have regular homework over these essays.</p>
<p>AP Bio is starting to get interesting, we just passed chemistry part of Bio which i truly don’t like so its becoming good. However my teacher was waiting and stalling the first week since the rosters were still having to get fixed, but still all in all i enjoy it.</p>
<p>@Josiah: Avengers was amazing; you should see it. Seriously. </p>
<p>@nothingto: I haven’t had Lang & Comp. homework yet, but my teacher promised that Friday was the last time that we wouldn’t have homework… I’m already dying with my other classes, so this won’t go so well. I guess it’s a sign to cut down on my multi-tasking and procrastinating.</p>
<p>What do you guys do to ward off fatigue?</p>
<p>Well you’re lucky I guess, because for my AP Lang and Comp class, we’ve had homework nearly everyday, with a page of homework each, and along with my AP US History class which gives 10-15 pages of reading with 1 page-2 pages of homework a day. So basically we have essays over regular homework… My AP Bio class was more sparing and gave us light homework for the first day, which I know isn’t going to last forever since my class just started for real now since the rosters are completed for that class.</p>
<p>Also, all these work also gives me fatigue. I usually go to the gym and workout and keep myself fit afterschool. Now with this much of homework, i don’t even find the time, not to mention the extracurricular activities I basically signed my own death bed…</p>
<p>@Nothingto1 We are now reading “A Peoples History of the United States”, over the summer we read “The Things They Carried” which was probably the easiest summer work I have ever had…
@Lldm21 How have you not had Lang & Comp homework yet? Can we like trade classes? We are already reading are first book, dealing with graduation projects, vocabulary lists, AP prep and grammar.</p>
<p>@ ArtsyGirl13</p>
<p>My APUSH class is composed of both the Brinkley textbook and the Howard Zinn book. So we basically interchange between them. I assume you have American Pageant though like most APUSH student’s :/</p>
<p>We had to read 2 books for AP Lang and Comp over the summer, now we have a 4 page essay on both 
Plus we’re starting a separate essay next week on something else. Plus the other classes I have non-AP isn’t giving me rest either.</p>
<p>@IIdm, I should have watched the Avengers on my plane flight but too tired :/. Hopefully, on demand should have it soon :/</p>
<p>American Pageant is what we use for APUSH, I like it so much better than my past social studies textbooks!</p>
<p>Wow, I can’t believe that you all have your grades already. In all of my classes I’ve taken one quiz! Our quarter doesn’t end until November!</p>
<p>^We have American Pagaent, too. And we have a quiz every day! We’ve had two tests, an essay, and other miscellaneous assignments. We haven’t even been in school a month, and we already have over 30 grades in the gradebook…</p>
<p>We have Jupitergrades which is a system to see your grades currently for your classes as teachers update them.</p>
<p>I came late to APUSH one day (my mom usually wakes me up and she didn’t this time) and only had a minute to finish a quiz which would have tooken 10 minutes, and now my grade bumped from a 100 to a 82.7% -___- Didn’t even give me extra time. Thank goodness it’s still the first marking period and I have 2 other marking periods to boost it up to a 90+. Plus it’s still 1 quiz, so when we have others, it will balance out. It shouldn’t have had that much of an impact when he adds other variables to the grade.</p>
<p>@Artsy: I’ve been wondering the same thing. We’ve had a vocab quiz, but that’s it. Wait, sorry, we also had to write four discussion questions (total) on Catcher in the Rye & Huck Finn. But class time has been spent on an AP simulation, summer book discussion, and vocabulary. She’s also been doing conferences with us about our summer essays that she graded “harshly”- she said, for the most part, analyzing literature and answering the “so what?” question is not my class’s strong point.</p>
<p>@Mreg: My quarter doesn’t end until November either.</p>
