Ugh I’ve been working on Calc homework all day…my teacher assigned us seven sections of our textbook plus a ton of additional problems to do in five days and we have a test on all of it on Monday. I’m so tired. The first five or so sections were fine because they were mildy interesting/required thoughtfulness but then we got to error estimation which required just enough brainpower that I couldn’t sail through it without thinking but also was not interesting or challenging in the slightest since it was basically a modified plug-and-chug. Erg.
@pseudoprimal I hate homework like that… That’s basically all of my chemistry homework, actually. It’s horrible.
Is anyone else just starting their ap prep? My exams are on May 4th and 8th and since my teachers didn’t really teach, I have to learn both courses in 2 weeks. (Which I’m not even sure if it’s possible). I’ve messed up, badly 
@shussain2 which exams are you preparing for?
AP environ. sci and apush
@shussain2 I’m in a similar place-- three APs, two/three weeks (one of which is tech 
so no time there), and I’m very unprepared for one, need to study a lot for another, and feel pretty good about the last one. It’s going to be a tough few weeks.
@pseudoprimal When are you exams? Mine are on the 4th and 8th (yikess :I )…I’m in so much trouble 
Me too, but luckily we will be preparing in class too. I’m taking AP Lang, AP Chem, and APWH. I think AP Lang will be the easiest since I’m good at essays and really good at the multiple choice. AP Chem will be a bit of a challenge. We just finished learning new material in APWH and AP Chem so now we will start preparing for the exam.
I also have a partner project to prepare for in English. It’s a presentation on a topic of our choice. My partner wanted to do the “adult industry” (“please, it’ll be funny” he said) but I said no so instead we will be doing virtual currencies, which I know nothing about. So I should probably start researching. Presentations start tomorrow though it’s really spread out.
@shussain2 Calc BC on the 5th, Comp Sci on the 7th, and Physics C (both) on the 11th. It’ll be a fun time.
On the upside, I’m going to a concert on the 13th (a Wednesday night!) that I’m quite excited for-- I’m glad the timing worked out, plus I have something to look forward to through AP week!
We’re still covering new material in Calc and Physics-- we have a chapter of Calc left (parametric and polar stuff) and a little more than a chapter in Physics (our Chapter 22 test is on Tuesday, but the entire class is confused about it…and we still have Maxwell’s equations !)
The only AP I’m taking this year is AP Environmental and my teacher is doing an extensive review for the next two weeks, and I will probably do the entire crash course the weekend before. I hope I’ll be fine, the class wasn’t very hard for me.
I’m also seeing my favorite artist on the 11th, a week after my exam, so I’m glad it all played out so well. 
Ahaha I’m not taking any AP tests (I really should have taken AP Stats or something like Drama).
It’s funny to think about what we’ll be like at this time next year.
@topaz1116 Yeah, I didn,t take an AP either, I should have petitioned for AP Euro; CP European History is too easy : /
@pseudoprimal Oh, I know that this time next year will be an absolute mess!
Oh god. I’ll be buried under mountains of work, essays and projects and notes and homework, barely able to function properly.
And the worst part? I won’t be caught up on any TV shows.
I’ll be doing the IB program next year so it’s gonna be terrible this time next year.
Luckily I don’t really watch TV so I don’t have to worry about that. But I never have time to read anymore. It’ll be even worse next year. I guess I’ll read a lot this summer!
I won’t have time to read this year, either!
It’s going to be a bad transition for me–(although for some reason this is abnormal) I get/do almost no work for any of my classes… Ahaha not going to happen next year (I’m starting to regret my schedule whoops–maybe it wasn’t wise to sign up to take BC, Physics, and Chem all at the same time…)
But at least I’m not the only one that’s screwed! A few (very few) other people are taking the same thing.
Luckily I decided to take the relatively easy SL Psychology instead of SL Physics so that’ll make it a bit easier. This year I only really have 4 classes (PE doesn’t add anything to my workload and Spanish 2 is really easy and hardly ever has homework) but next year I’m going to have 6 fairly difficult classes (some more difficult than others, of course), and then second semester I’ll have 7 because of IB Theory of Knowledge. I don’t know how I’ll handle it all.
I used to read ALL the time, I was always hooked on some sort of book (my all time guilty pleasure is reading) but lately I’ve only been able to read for school, and it upsets me a lot
@sprights This is exactly how I feel. My to read list is at least fifty books long and I have no time to read any of them.
