@Faultystart I’m not sure how many books are on my to-read list, but it’s currently at 30 pages.
My to read list is very long, but it includes a lot of stuff that I can’t find at my school library (and therefore will never read).
Everyone tells me that I’m going to be dead next year (aka three hours of sleep a night)… Whoops. But whatever–I give up on life. College is for (slightly more) sleep.
I’m probably going to be braindead next year too. I think I’m going to take the ACT this September…I got a 32 on my practice tests VS my nauseous 2010 on the SAT ones. Has anyone taken the ACT or SAT officially yet?
guys the new PSAT isn’t as easy as you would think lol; I got a 1180 out of 1600 on a Kaplan practice, and I studied my way up to a 2200 on the old one.
This is why I liked the old one. I was good at it. The ACT is for students who don’t want to analyze as much…
Ugh, matrices. I don’t want to find the inverse of a 4x4 matrix :((
@apandia In your opinion, what was the most difficult section of the test?
I liked the old one because I got 780 on the Writing section, so I will most definitely be doing ACT with writing now. And that is true, I hate analyzing tests, I like how straightforward the ACT is.
This is amazing; I have finished all my homework for tomorrow, and it’s only 9:15!
@faultystart nice!
My math teacher assigned us a project to do for the end of the year, and I decided to do mine on the greenhouse effect (I don’t even know why it was up there alongside the other “mathy” stuff, but hey, it’s cool). After I asked my teacher about my relatively simple project, however, he gave me a bunch of suggestions that have now turned it into something I can use as a science project… I’m very happy.
It’s going to take a long time, though. It’s a pretty big project. I probably won’t finish everything I want to do by the end of the school year, but I do plan to submit it to science fairs in the fall (for the first time since third grade). Hopefully I do well with it, even if it’s not something done at a university lab or whatever.
However, I did just realize I can’t do part of my project for cost reasons, which is slightly annoying.
It’s going to cost at least $40 total as is (and the parts that I can’t do are $40 and $70 at the least; sadly, terrariums are expensive. I’m going to have to build my own, which will be good in the long run, but still annoying…). Hopefully the project will be successful, however.

Chemistry, why? What is ‘wet’ gas?
Also, there are like 4 weeks until my history exam and there is a page and a half of material in the review packet that we haven’ covered. This won’t be a fun next few weeks (also, there still are two more projects that have not been assigned)
Fourth quarter is always the worst for me: it’s the shortest, there are exams, and it’s so close to summer.
I need to raise my math grade. That is all that matters right now.
I have the AP Physics 1 exam in less than two weeks. I thought I would remember everything and not have to study much but I took a diagnostics test today and well it wasn’t pretty… sobbing
Hey so I got a glossy flyer in the mail today from this thing called Exploring Educational Excellence. It says that 5 prestigious universities, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, UChicago, and Rice are visiting an area near me. It didn’t say how much it cost but they are coming to Bethesda and Baltimore which are near me. Would it be a good idea to go? I don’t have a hope of getting into Columbia or Brown and Cornell an UChicago would be extremely high reaches. Is it worth it?
I haven’t been posting here because I’ve been going through some stress and anxiety because the school year is almost over and my AP tests are coming up. I’m slowly becoming more relaxed and positive, though. I discovered that getting back to my old hobbies, such as reading for pleasure (which I haven’t done since elementary school) and playing video games casually (I used to play games to unwind, but I’ve recently been playing it on a competitive level which had the opposite effect) helped me feel better about school.
@topaz1116 Your math class sounds so interesting! 
That sounds like a really cool project, the math projects I had were very minor and didn’t have a huge effect on our grades. Math has always been my least favorite subject but for some reason, I sort of miss having it. Since my school has a block schedule and I had Algebra 2 last term I don’t have any math class at the moment. It feels weird not to have a math class, and even weirder to miss having math, haha.
@greeneggsandsam9 I’m going to the one in my area; no matter what, it would be a useful experience.
@Greninja ahhh my parents are trying to veto the project now because they think it’s unrealistic and it’ll end up hurting my grade.
I love my math teacher, though–he’s adorable (and yes, I mean adorable–he’s a bit of a pushover sometimes, so people take advantage of him, but he’s incredibly nice and also has a strangely dark sense of humor; he shows us Friday videos and gives us puzzles for extra credit).
@greeneggsandsam9 I received that this year and last year. I think I may go, since it’ll be useful. I’m not 100% sure though: it’s a 2 hour drive there.
@topaz1116 Your math teacher sounds amazing! The most fun thing we sometimes do in math class is solve riddles and play ‘Algebra Baseball’ (My team’s winning
