High School Class of 2017

I hope I get one of those frisbees, the only free thing I’ve gotten so far is a University of Minnesota sticker thingy.

@iamnotironman Wow, I never get frisbees from colleges, I only get stickers and the occasional pennant. :pensive:

I’m done with my finals! So far I’ve got all A’s this term, but I don’t have my results from Japanese yet and I think I might get a B because our new teacher’s test was very difficult. Hopefully he curves the test, but I doubt it.

Now I have to spend the weekend doing intersession work for AP World History because I have the class again on Monday. On Monday I’ll be back to doing homework all day while listening to Celtic music on Pandora to stay focused…

In addition to the ap chemistry stuff…

i am in ap chemistry right now and it is like halfway-okay for me. im pretty sure it is VERY DEPENDENT on your teacher/your class/how your school does it so.

HAPPY ULTIMATE PI DAY!!!

@iamnotironman HAPPY ULTIMATE PI DAY TO YOU!

Ok, someone try to respond at 9:26:54. Then it will be the super ultimate pi moment.

Oh, too late. Unless we’re talking about 9pm…

Aaaand we missed 9:26pm

Not in California!

HAPPY PI… moment? Is that what to call it? Woohoo, 3/14/15, 9:26!

Yay, you did it!

We had a guard/percussion competition today and the drum major coach (who comes even if drum majors aren’t attending the competition) brought pies. However, percussion ate the chocolate pie while we were practicing and left us with the (gross) (well I guess it was good if you like bananas) (but who likes bananas?) banana cream pie. Pie on Pi Day! (Also there is a girl on my guard team whose last name is Pi.)

My dad emailed my counselor because he’s afraid my schedule is too much. The thing is, when we originally planned out a schedule with my counselor (every sophomore has to plan out their junior and senior years), we planned it out to be about the same difficulty level; however, my counselor replied to the email saying “we don’t recommend students take two sciences” (um, like half the junior class does?) and that Physics and Chem are a hard combination (yes, I know that; but people do take the two in conjunction). Ughhhh. If I don’t take Physics and Chem next year, it’ll screw up my whole high school plan.

What’s the rest of your schedule look like?

AP Physics 1, AP Chemistry, Honors English, AP Calculus BC, AP Human Geography, US History, Marching Band (first semester)

I know of some juniors doing those two sciences as well and they just let them at my school. Mostly IB kids who take an IB science and an AP one. I’ve never heard of a counselor at my school tell anyone their schedule is too hard. I was gonna do two sciences but I’m think I’m gonna change it because I’m not even that good at science.

My school is pretty difficult, I guess. We don’t have grade inflation; it’s more like grade deflation. I mean, at other schools, my schedule would be easy, but at my school, it’s hard (and I mean, people at my school are smart–we had the most NMSFs in California, I believe).

Yeah, a lot of people take all AP/IB classes junior and senior year at my school and it’s no big deal. I don’t think my school is easy because very few people get all As with an all AP/IB schedule, but I guess it’s not as hard as yours.

Hey, everyone can I get an opinion on how I should phrase this sentence. I have been agonized over it for an hour and made little progress.

Which one do you guys think is better:

Option 1: I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their life and want to help as the country works towards a better future for all people.

or

Option 2: I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their lives and want to help as the country works towards a better future for all people.

Thanks so much!

@jackdub32‌ Is it supposed to be “I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to improve their lives and I want to help as the country works towards a better future for all people?” Neither of those sentences seem correct to me but I’m no grammar expert.

@jackdub32‌ Everyone is singular so it should be “improve their lives” like in option 2. Also the second part of the sentence doesn’t really flow with the first.
