<p>My first day back was meh. There was some good and bad. I got lucky twice though. I didn’t do any homework over the break and I was prepared to get Fs on those assignments. Thankfully my teachers didn’t check it. I got an extra day 
Anyways, I’m pretty confident I want to spend my summer at Boston U. I’m going to start my essays tomorrow.</p>
<p>That nurse sounds like she deserves some kind of recognition, Hannah!</p>
<p>You kidding? She’s got her own cheer- major thing- even the principal hasn’t got one. Then again, it’s really just something to annoy her with when she gets up to make an announcement, but still… it’s recognition… isn’t it?
It’s funny, because she was the school jack-of-all-trades originally and she just happens to be a nurse so those duties were kind of thrust upon her. So whenever you’re sick you walk in and she gives you this weird look, like, “A sick person? What do I have to do with sick people?!”
Okay, sorry. Mrs W. you are AWESOME!</p>
<p>I start school again tomorrow…ugh. That break flew by.</p>
<p>You could write a best-selling young adult fiction novel about her!</p>
<p>I don’t feel like that’d happen on the east or west coast. Are you in central USA?</p>

Why did you get today off (Monday)?</p>
<p>Idk we just didn’t start on Monday. Fine by me though!</p>
<p>That’s pretty awesome. I’m kind of glad that we got back yesterday because I become such a bad student over long breaks and it takes a week to get back into things (not to mention finals are next week)</p>
<p>eoaynn- actually, I’m in a private school in NYC :)- she’s a licensed nurse (she’s a camp nurse in the summer) but that’s not her official job.
My school’s a bit—wacko is probably the word…
Hmmm… novel… THE WHAT TO DO DURING WINTER BREAK RADAR IS REGISTERING AN EXPLOSION!</p>
<p>To change the subject-
A) Do you people take the PLAN?
B) If so, when you get your score report, does it show your percentile scores in relation to the other people in your school? Apparently, the principal decides what to show, and my principal thinks it’s a good thing- I’m not entirely sure why, because all that happens is that the people who didn’t do well feel weird about it.
Just wondering… kinda random but I just officially had the “what your test scores mean” assembly where it kind of came back to me.</p>
<p>The PLAN? I took that in 8th grade…</p>
<p>We take it in 10th and 11th- I dunno, that’s just the way my school does it, I guess…
Nobody else does? That’s kinda weird.
I think we do it as part of the pre-SAT/ACT package.</p>
<p>Ugh I could cry. My 91 in APUSH went down to a 90. I need an A in that class. Tired of my transcript being filled with Bs.</p>
<p>My school does the EXPLORE freshman year, PLAN sophomore year, and PSAT junior year. The school pays for it.</p>
<p>Gosh, it feels so good to be on a computer again to access the Internet.</p>
<p>My school didn’t do the PLAN, I think. We did EXPLORE as freshmen, and then we’re offered PSATs in both sophomore and junior year.</p>
<p>@aaahh i see i see. :)</p>
<p>A) Do you people take the PLAN?
Yes, sophomore year along with the PSAT.</p>
<p>B) If so, when you get your score report, does it show your percentile scores in relation to the other people in your school?
I think it just showed some kind of nationwide percentage. And the people in my school are fairly average or below.</p>
<p>Back at school. Crazy to think that I will hopefully be accepted to a college in 12 months… though, these next 12 months are going to be a hell of work and anxiety.</p>
<p>After a couple days back, I can safely say that this term will be ridiculously easy. My first period is AP Physics, which gives almost no homework and the teacher is pretty chill. Second period I have Spanish 3, where the only homework is studying. Then I have AP Lang, and that barely gives any homework also, just vocab flashcards and current events journals. My fourth period is AP Stats, which only gives a few problems from the book.</p>
<p>Then after school I have Cultural Anthropology at my local community college, which gives more work but only meets once a week!</p>
<p>This worked out PERFECTLY because now I have lots of time for volleyball/reading/summer applications/studying for AP tests.</p>
<p>I’m so jealous, biovball. This semester is going to be packed for me.</p>
<p>Aww that sucks 
What classes are you taking?</p>
<p>Tough ones: AP Chem, APUSH, AP Latin (worst)
Medium: AP Calc BC
Easy: AP Stats, Physics, English</p>
<p>APUSH and AP Latin basically rule my life. But all I want to do is science… I hope I can get all my (nine!) summer program apps done in time. Also, USABO, USNCO, and AMC 12 are coming up. Hoping to make semis/AIME, but I don’t know if I will.</p>
<p>On another note, I have my district academic tournament tomorrow! My team is currently in a three-way tie for first, but only two make it to the regional tournament. Wish me luck!</p>
