<p>Fresh into term 2, brand new start, and I’ve already got a 70 in AP Chemistry lol. I got a 14/20 on the Calorimetry pre-lab assignment ;p</p>
<p>^ 4/5 of us had a 3-hour FaceBook pow-wow when we had to do the write-up for a Calorimetry lab because none of us had any idea about what the hell we were doing.</p>
<p>Chapter 32, tf? That leaves like 10 chapters second semester… what are you guys going to do?!</p>
<p>We’re on Chapter 18 now, and I thought we were going fast… but considering there are 42 chapters, I guess we need to stay on this ridiculous pace.</p>
<p>We’re on 18, too, but today was the first day of Quarter 2.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t know.
She said April is basically all review, but if we finish ch. 32 by the 2nd (?) week of January, and we continue to do 2 or 3 chapters a week afterward, we should be finished with the book by February. o_O</p>
<p>So, maybe (hopefully), she was overestimating. (I doubt it.)</p>
<p>I’m so happy. I got a 23/24 on a math quiz that most people failed because of basic algebra mistakes. I got a point off for writing 4pi/3 instead of 5pi/3 by mistake.</p>
<p>This is random but…I’m listening to the new song my Bruno Mars “Locked Out of Heaven” and…I can’t stop. I think I’ve listened to it about 20 times today, while writing a history paper. It’s so catchy!</p>
<p>Any songs that you guys are loving (or hating) right now?</p>
<p>I haven’t heard it!</p>
<p>Right now I’ve had Three Days Grace’s new album, Transit of Venus, on playback. I hated it when I first heard it, but I’m now discovering that it’s more of an acquired taste.</p>
<p>A song I’ve had on playback for the past few days is “A Story To Tell Your Friends” by Every Avenue; I’m absolutely in love with it, but according to one of my Twitter followers, they’re starting a break-up tour in December :l.</p>
<p>Did my Governor’s Honor Program (GHP) county interview yesterday. It went well. For Social Studies, you debate and have a personal interview to do. If I make it past county, then I go to state for Social Studies where we debate more and if I past state, I go to Valdosta State University for three weeks to work in Social Studies and study other things. This is one of the highest and most recognized competition in the state of Georgia.</p>
<p>^ That’s cool. I’m really bad at debating… In government freshman year, we had to debate for a grade…</p>
<p>SirSamAlot I’m going for governors honors for Chemistry!!! Hope to see you at Valdosta!</p>
<p>So, I saw Wreck-It Ralph yesterday, and it was amazing (surprisingly more amazing than the mac & cheese I got from Panera’s before seeing it). I was going to see Skyfall, but the show sold out the moment we stepped toward the ticket line. </p>
<p>The first half was better than the second half (the second half was too cutesy for my tastes, and Silverman’s voice was really, really annoying), but it was still overall a great film. The first half also produced a lot more arcade/video game nostalgia than the second half did.</p>
<p>First quarter ended 2 weeks ago:</p>
<p>AP Gov A
AP Lang B+
AP Bio A-
AP Stats A
Calc/AP Calc AB A+
Hon Brit lit A-</p>
<p>Glad I’m not the only one making B’s this year…</p>
<p>It looks like the only thing stopping me from getting a 4.0 will be an 89.9 (which my teacher won’t bump), oh well hopefully I can get an A for the semester/we will see when I get my report card in like a week…
Have you guys started looking at summer programs yet?</p>
<p>Somewhat. I’ll probably apply to Clark Scholars and another program that takes Internationals just for the heck of it. There are things locally that I also am looking at so I’m not going to stress about them.</p>
<ul>
<li>They’re good practice for college apps.</li>
</ul>
<p>True, some of the applications seem as extensive as college applications. At this rate I am applying to like 12 programs/internships (probably not the greatest idea), at least I will get practice with admissions essays!</p>
<p>junior year sucks. a lot.</p>
<p>that is all</p>
<p>Definitely interested in Clark Scholars as well (but I’m not getting my hopes up). So far, I have a pretty good list of programs I’m aiming for this year.</p>
<p>I have about 3 programs in mind so far. What exactly is Clark scholars?</p>
<p>Oh gosh, just looked and that program looks insanely difficult to be admitted to.</p>
