@Faultystart I don’t play an instrument! I spin a flag xD I played trumpet in, like, fifth grade, and french horn in sixth grade, but that’s it.
@topaz1116 Well, I can’t do that either.
@Faultystart lol xD I don’t play a sport, though, and it seems like everyone plays a sport (not that I have the time to play a sport–guard takes up all my time afterschool; and I’m not exactly the athletic type, although I am the dance type). I joined because I thought it looked pretty. And it’s really fun (even if I drop my rifle a lot). We get to act really creepy. And shake the floor.
@topaz1116 That sounds pretty cool. Well, cooler that what I do. Right now I am on the bowling team, which doesn’t require much physical fitness, just balance and skill. I’m waiting for water polo season to start, and I quit swimming last year. No way I was going to go to 4 a.m. practices! I prefer aquatic sports, but there’s only so much you can do in the water in Ohio.
Schedule next year:
Ap Physics 1
Calc 3
H English 11
Magnet Program Class #1 (I’m in a biomedical program)
Magnet Program Class #2 (I’m in a biomedical program)
AP Economics
AP Gov
AP Chem (idk about 2 ap science classes though)
Lacrosse is life lol
Yay 100 posts! 
@1whatsmyname1 Nice! Your schedule looks cool. It’s different from mine, that’s for sure.
Lacrosse is so popular at my school, it’s ridiculous. (Well, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse are the “big three”)
I’m surprised my high school offers 21 sports, even though we have, like, 300 kids in the high school.
For my school it would football, basketball, and then the lax vs baseball debate
@1whatsmyname1 We don’t even have a football team.
All my quarter projects are going to kill me. I have an art history project for history, and my English research paper.
Speaking about history, I got 100% on my exam!
1000 lol.
I don’t know if we have a lacrosse team… But I’m 3 points away from an A- in Chem D: 89.3%. I need that A-… I also need an A- in Precalc, but I’m just aiming to do well on the final in that class (due to the curve, I need an 86% to get an A-; I have something around an 85 right now and the final is 20% of our grade).
My school doesn’t have - or +, only plain letter grades.
The good news: I can be lazy and not do the most of the hw, yet still get an A
The bad news: I have 2 Bs on my transcript, two 89s (!!!) in ART. But it’s a B, so its equivalent to a 80
How’s the grading weight for everyone?
For my school, they changed it to 85 % assessments for our making period grade, and homework is only like 10 % lol
@1whatsmyname1 depends on the teacher/class. At my school, all types of As are weighted evenly in our GPA, but still show up with a - or + or whatever on the transcript. So really, it’s a win-win situation (unless you’ve got an A- average). But I need an A- in Precalc to get into Calc BC, and I really really want an A- in Chem (because the class is absurdly easy, but he’s anal with assignments so I’m failing -_-)
@1whatsmyname1 It depends on the class. For example, math class last year, tests were 70%. This year, they’re 50%.
@topaz1116 Just wondering, but what are you learning in Precalculus?
@Faultystart Lucky. For my precalc class it’s 65% tests and 25% homework
How are your semester grades formed?
At my school it is:
40% Q1
40% Q2
20% Midterm
@Faultystart right now we’re finishing up vectors and polar coordinates of imaginary numbers (like converting them to trig form, De Moirve’s Theorem, etc.). Chapter 6 in our 11 chapter book.
@Spiral7 it generally just continues on from Q1 to Q2, and the midterm/final depends on your teacher; for some it’s a regular test, for some it’s two or three tests, and for some it’s 20% of your grade or whatever.
Also, my math teacher made a human pulley/swing today and hung it from the rafters. It was awesome. You could sit on it and use a rope to pull yourself up then let yourself down.
Gahhhhh school is stressing me out so much. I have finals next week and I’m so nervous for my AP World History Midterm mostly. Band exam will take me 10 minutes but I’m not too sure about English II Honors and Biology Honors yet. My teachers weren’t that great so I’m not sure what to expect on the exam and I REALLY need these A’s.
