High School Class of 2017

I know! I have a bunch of work to do and no time over the weekend so the day off is great!

What are you guys off for?

Off for snow. :slight_smile: Maybe the last time it’s gonna snow this school year since Spring is on its way (gonna be sunny all of next week where I live.)

Oh, duh. My part of Ohio is done with snow for the year I think. (yayy)

I just got accepted to the Ross Mathematics Program for this summer! I’m super excited.

Off for snow today too in Maryland. Might be off tomorrow too.

@The5458Captain‌ she had a smirk

@Kawaiiii‌ I live in Maryland and we are off tomorrow. Ugh now we are going to go until June 17th ;(

@SallyStephens Haha :smirk:

@Kawaiiii @greeneggsandsam9 I live in Maryland and we also have off tomorrow! I’m really happy I go to a private school because we get out the 6th and to make up for all the snow days, we just go to school on random days like Mondays that we originally had off. My school’s logic is that AP exams are in May and there isn’t any point of going to school much later that that. The AP teachers are ‘supposed’ to continue teaching, but last year the calc BC teacher brought in a wii and the students just played mario kart for the rest of the year.

@The5458Captain‌ yeah my counselor is so real with me! Like we both know I want to become valedictorian and the person who is currently number one cheats his way to the top and we always discuss that and she’s so encouraging. She told me she has the whole administration rooting for me and she helped me choose my schedule in a way where I can get the good AP teachers for my AP classes, because we usually have two teachers for each subject.

She literally helped me fabricate my four years of high school in a way to where I can get the number one spot. It just feels good to have a helpful guidance counselor and a counselor who has the ability to get personal about it, too. Like my friends have other counselors that are very pedantic (by the book) and stiff. Mine became my friend lol

@iamnotironman You are so lucky. I go to public school and although we get 12 built-in snow days (meaning we don’t need to make them up… and we used like 8 snow days already) our school year ends on June 19th, which is basically around the end of the month.

O.O Our district only gets 5 snow days lol. But then 3 we don’t have to make up if enough students do online calamity day assignments.

I’m not off today nor tomorrow. We had a delay today, but all our classes were shortened and squished together.

My petition for two science classes was approved!

@pseudoprimal‌ Congratulations!

You guys are lucky you had the day off/shortened.

@pseudoprimal Congratulations! I was thinking of applying, but decided it was too math-y for me. I love math, but I don’t think I’d be able to spend my entire summer on it (although I might anyways if I end up going to COSMOS).

@pseudoprimal Congratulations! That’s so cool!

My school gets 4 built in snow days… Had our 6th one today.

Hah. The California life means no days off for random reasons–except for a while ago, when we had a day off for a storm (which has never happened before).

I mean, it rained a lot, but it was still possible to go outside (although a contributing factor may have been that my school is made up of a lot of different buildings, and there are no pathways that are inside; there are covered walkways, but they can only take you so far, and when it’s both windy and raining, they aren’t much in the way of protection.)

It doesn’t even rain very much here in Southern California, so we never get days off for weather. Except that time we got a few days off because there was a wildfire and they didn’t want us breathing all the ashy air.

Anyone else finally getting emails/letters from good colleges and not the generic and annoying ones from random colleges!?! Like MIT, RIT, Columbia, Chicago, Stanford, Caltech, BU, UMD, etc have all emailed me/sent me letters and it’s pretty cool, even though I know thousands of people get contacted by them and it’s all based on PSAT scores.
