<p>Midterms all this week. I think I did decently well on Greek, Latin, and Humanities, and very well on US and Calculus AB. Tomorrow is Physics B which will be by far my hardest exam.</p>
<p>@IndigoPlateau, How do you already have Midterms? I just finished my first quarter!</p>
<p>These next three or four days wil be brutal. Calc test, large Physics project, physics test, research paper, multiple mandarin projects, a mandarin test, and a history quiz.</p>
<p>Oh well. I guess being a junior had to kick in sometime…</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the first Friday that I don’t have any sort of assessment! Woohoo! I am so happy! And I’m leaving for D.C. tomorrow after school which makes the day even better.</p>
<p>I feel so stupid for retaking the quiz I got a B on. Now I have a D 
I have a lot of tests tomorrow so I’m pulling an all nighter. Any suggestions for staying awake? Tea or coffee?</p>
<p>SirSam: I made it to state for GHP, too. Except mine was in music.</p>
<p>I have tests in class periods 1 - 5, leaving only 6 and 7 without a test. Way to start Thanksgiving break. :/</p>
<p>Oh man. Life is pretty good. These past two days, I haven’t had anything due, so I’ve just gone home and slept through the entire day and morning. And then after today, I have a 9 day break just to chill. My grades are pretty good right now. When I get back, only 3 more weeks and then I’m off again for winter break.</p>

<p>My school does three terms which are divided into lists (2 per term). At the end of the first term we have midterms and at the end of the third term we have finals. It’s pretty ridiculous actually, midterms used to be after the 2nd term but people said that was too close to finals so now they’re after the first term which is silly because we have hardly gotten into anything yet.</p>
<p>My film teacher said we could;t work with the same person as last time! YES. We technically got to pick our groups but I got stuck with my incompetent, stupid “friend” so when he announced it me and him (my ex-partener) started screaming. We’ve worked together (involuntarily) for 3 projects this year. UGH</p>
<p>Has anyone else been consolidating their college lists?</p>
<p>This year I’m taking:
Calc 3 differential equations
Spanish 4 Honors
AP Statistics
English 3 honors
AP Chem
AP US History</p>
<p>@SirSamAlot Yeah, right now my list is at 16 I think, trying to get it down to nine plus the school I am applying ED to. No idea if I will be able to do it though, I am making myself at least get it down to 12 including my ED school. How many safeties do you have?</p>
<p>I have three safeties (UGA, Georgia State, and Valdosta State). I really banking on being a Questbridge Scholar to apply to multiple out of state colleges for free. However, if I don’t get it, I’ll probably apply to 5 in-state schools (including GA Tech and Emory) and two or three out of state with the biggest being Harvard SCEA.</p>
<p>@Sir I have about 5 on mine, I can’t think of anymore.</p>
<p>For my essay for this internship, we have to write about our goals, our interest and little life story. The limit is 4,000 characters and I’m WAY passed that and I have no clue what to take out. I think I should take out my college dreams and stuff like that.</p>
<p>@SirSamAlot Yeah, I haven’t decided if I want to apply to Questbridge or not. My stats will probably be high enough, but I don’t know if I want to give up ED. Right now my safeties are Allegheny, Bryn Mawr, Denison, Juniata and Lafayette. Though I really want to cut that list to no more then two or three. I am probably going to be applying in a really unbalanced way with the same number of reaches as matches and safeties combined.</p>
<p>grrr right now i have a list of colleges I’m interested in but I think I may have just killed my semester grades and so the chances of any school on my list. But, assuming things can get better, my list is as follows:
-the UCs (UCLA - high reach, UCSD - low reach, etc. I don’t like Berkeley so I won’t apply)
-Scripps/Pitzer/Pomona (pretty reachy)
-Willamette (reach)
-Bryn Mawr
-Wellesley
-Vassar
and etc. basically things that are too high for me right now…</p>
<p>i have like 2 safety schools and i have this fear that i’m not getting into college because besides them all of the schools are so difficult to get into… like top 25</p>
<p>Well crud. My school’s couselors meet in December.</p>
<p>@loljk I only two safeties also. I’m a little afraid of getting rejected too. When I received my letter of acceptance from the NHS, I was so afraid to open it. I waited until the next day to open it lol.</p>
<p>Honors Physics
AP US History
Honors Spanish 3
Honors British Literature
Honors Algebra 2/Trig

<p>So far I don’t care about much this year. Although so far I’m doing really well. I have to get all A’s, just so colleges can give the blind eye to my Sophomore grades.</p>
