<p>Meeeeeeee! <em>raises hand</em> I’m taking it the 26th</p>
<p>Today was my first day back and it was quite easy! We’re doing online orientations so school was really only 2 hours for me.
I think we all have an early case of senioritis.
I decided that I am going to study for the sat every day like a class. I’m just going to treat it like I HAVE to do it. With this and a lot of prayer, I plan to do really well!!</p>
<p>The January SAT. My first one. The only on that comes right afteridterma and finals for me. That thing I haven’t studied for.
Oh well.
And just curious, but do you guys have finals or midterms because I have 4 midterms and two finals this week.</p>
<p>I feel so let down right now.
I gave a 5 minute speech for Key Club vice president yesterday.
The girl who was opposing me was really popular, so I guess I shouldn’t have had high expectations. But people kept telling me over and over that my speech was absolutely amazing, the best one of the day…
Does the speech really not matter?</p>
<p>The other’s speech was essentially, “Hey, vote for me! Kthxbai”
She still won, nonetheless…</p>
<p>Just failed my History midterm…</p>
<p>Just sloughed off my English midterm. Insanely easy, didn’t study. I guessed for a couple multi-choices but I’ll live through it.
I’m so frustrated though because we were supposed to prepare essays before class and I had this great one from the Crucible where I prove that Abigail Williams is a morally ambiguous character…and then the question wasn’t on the test. :(.
Two more to go tomorrow then I’m FREE! APUSH I don’t really care about because even if I flunk he’s going to curve it by about 50 points bcause everyone else will flunk worse than me, but math- oooh baby, math is a problem. (I’m not even going to favor that one with a “no pun intended.” It’s funny, I know people who would think that was hysterical, including this one girl who’s a total genius who I would have thought would be above such humor.) I am SOOO scared…</p>
<p>Block scheduling means I have finals for four classes.
One was a project, one is tomorrow, and two are the day after.</p>
<p>“Does the speech really not matter?”</p>
<p>I’d say the speech doesn’t matter much at all. It’s a formality. People basically made their decision based on who they liked more as a person the minute you both decided to run. That’s how high school works. And probably the adult world a lot of the time too.</p>
<p>Oysh, Propinquity… sorry that had to happen. I remember reading your speech and liking it.
Just remember we love you over here 
(and by the sound of it so do they over there…)</p>
<p>Mid-term week is here, the second most important week not counting the AMC/ACT/PSAT/SAT I/SAT II. The only time of the year that matters even more is AP exam week.</p>
<p>It’s almost end of the term for us and I have CRES tests tomorrow and Thursday…</p>
<p>What a bittersweet day. Found out I can only take World Literature or AP Composition for English next year 
But I might not have to take art next year and my pre calculus demystified book came in the mail :)</p>
<p>aaaargh my GPA gets locked in at the end of this year and even if I get 100’s forever on all of my senior classes, it’s moot!</p>
<p>aaaargh</p>
<p>I’m assuming it’s better than my GPA which after this semester probably drops to a 3.4</p>
<p>^sammmeee
grrrr
Today was a really frustrating day, and I wanted to dig myself into a hole and die there. Basically the main issue is that my English Honors grade dropped 10% overnight and since my teacher left I have no way to correct it. I am planning to meet with the principal on this. So that part is OK now. </p>
<p>However, the teacher I asked for a rec letter for a summer program said I was still missing information she requested. But I wasn’t. I tried to tell her that, but you don’t argue with teachers. I am really ****ed. If I get turned away for the fifth time, I’m probably just gonna chuck all the stuff at her.</p>
<p>So my lowest grade so far this year came in and I’m actually kind of happy because I still have an A in the class.
I got a 66% on a presentation in English because I didn’t look at the rubric closely enough to see that there was a 12-minute time minimum. My presentation was 2 minutes 30 seconds and I said “um” too much. And the papers I passed out had a hair photocopied onto them and that was all anyone noticed the whole time even though I didn’t think it was particularly interesting.</p>
<p>Y’all are worried about your GPA dropping to a 3.4 while I’m over here fighting for a 3.47 by the end of junior year. Lol</p>
<p>My History essay on my midterm was 2 pages. Everybody else wrote 8-9 
What.</p>
<p>My midterms are next week.
My APLAC teacher still hasn’t told us what we’re doing yet. And she’s coming back on Friday…from whatever it is she’s doing.
Two days to study…yay. Including the other 6 finals I need to study for.</p>
<p>I have icky two-part midterms for APUSH, and honors pre-calc, the rest of one part (thank God). Except I have an equally unpleasant exam tomorrow in psych (dual enrollment) where I have no idea what is going to be on it.</p>
<p>Positively pleasant finals and midterms, with one exception. Above a 96 for all of them except for the speaking portion of my AP Spanish midterm- its hard to compete with the native speakers. If all goes well, my GPA should bump up to a 3.98!</p>
