@Kelvin82 Same!
Yesterday was fine. I was not feeling until I got to math class. That class is so boring I fell asleep within the first hour. I was asleep for 6 minutes and farted myself awake. :)) :)) Good thing no one heard it. I was able to understand the lesson even after I fell asleep.
@ak2018 That’s surely a way to wake up. xD How does that even happen?
Midterms are in nine days, but my English and Algebra II teachers are still giving tests on Friday. ;^; My Algebra II teacher said it may be a take home test, but if it is, its going to be much harder since she knows people will use their notes. I think I’d rather just have an in-school test.
I really should be studying for my midterms right now, but I haven’t even started. :-S My current semester grades in Bio and Algebra II are 90’s, so I need to get A’s on both of their finals in order to keep them that way. The thing is, I’ve never gotten higher than an 83 on a math midterm/final, and that’s with a curve. orz
@LeopardFire Any teacher giving a take home test should expect everyone to get an A or higher honestly. Also it shouldn’t be that bad if it were take home. Algebra is really easy to check work for after you solved it since it is easy to plug it back in.
@Tedalkfan @wonderfulreads @Kelvin82 Thank you!
@mamaba I also play the flute!
@Hamlon I wish I knew how to play the cello!
@ak2018 The writing section is going to be optional on the new SAT. I would still take it, though.
@BucketsUCSC Where I took driver’s ed in Maine it cost $400. You can take driver’s ed when you turn 15 and get your license when you turn 16.
Mid-terms at my school go from the 19th to the 22nd. Thankfully we have the 18th off for Martin Luther King, jr. Day.
Hey guys, so today was our first day back! I walk into my algebra 2 class and our teacher says, “Hey guys, so, ummmm, you will have a test next class (which is Thursday).” :-q :-q UGH!!! Whatever, at least I got a 90% on the Oral presentation I gave before break! A 90% doesn’t make me happy, I’m just relieved it wasn’t a B.
@apple1893 What makes me more worried than you having a quiz on Thursday is that you had to do an oral presentation in a math class…
@frazzledazzle I had to pay $425 for my driver’s ed, what a ripoff. I probably won’t get my license till spring because there is no way I’m taking the driver’s test in the middle of winter, just not even going to try.
@tonyk16 lol Test, not quiz, and the oral thing was for U.S History lol
Today was my first day back, and in my precalc class, the teacher already assigned 50 problems for homework 
good start to a new semester. Also does anyone else take band and find it boring. Being on block schedule means I’m in there for 90 minutes and it’s torture. It’s so boring and I’m thinking about changing but still doing the concerts (they need me, there’s literally only one trombone and it’s me)
Also, I’m pretty sure I didn’t learn any Algebra 2… I’m taking pre calculus this year and I haven’t even learned about polynomial functions or logarithm… go me
@apple1893 Yeah, lol, I’m just giving you a hard time. Good luck on your test though!
@HelloThereHola I don’t do band but I do hear a lot of other people complain about how it is indeed torture. I would say most stick with it because they like to have it down for an EC. You can drop the class, but still do concerts?? I never heard of anyone doing that.
Drivers’ education is the worst :((
@LeopardFire lol idk
@tonyk16 I’m waiting until at least March. I don’t even have my 70 hours yet. My mom wants me to experience driving in a snowstorm before I get my license.
@HelloThereHola I have band for 40 min every day. I love it.
PSAT results come out tomorrow! :-SS Does anyone know what time they are released?
All you guys have been doing driving prep, and I’ve barely been thinking about it. x) I thought you had to be 16 to start learning. I guess I wouldn’t to start learning during the winter. Icy roads scare me.
I’ve been looking forward to getting my PSAT scores since October, but now I’m afraid. I already know I bombed the math section, but I really want to get a good verbal score. Considering I didn’t study, I think I’m setting my hopes too high. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow. At least it doesn’t matter this year.
@frazzledazzle According to someone from the PSAT discussion thread, they usually are released at 1:55 AM PST, or 4:55 AM EST. I don’t know if that will happen this year though. I’d love for them to release it 12 AM EST, personally. 
@LeopardFire I have been looking forward to getting my scores, too! Thank you for letting me know the time! I too would like for the scores to be released at 12 am EST.
@LeopardFire Well I hope that’s true because I just made a College Board account today. However, I believe I forgot that our school will be giving us a code this year to access our PSAT scores online. Idk! I am honestly not looking forward to seeing my scores, I feel I did terribly.
Also, for anyone reading, I’m having a big emotional dilemma and need some help! My best friend and I barely spend enough time together at school. The only time we have to talk to each other, as we really don’t text that much as we’re both pretty busy after school, is in between classes and whenever he is able to ride my bus. Today at school, he gave a $60 Christmas gift and then after I asked him cost and why he spent so much, he told me “it’s because I want to give my best friend the world” and I was like :(( . I’ve known him since the sixth grade and he has been the most loyal friend I’ve ever had. On Tuesday afternoon, he was on my bus and I literally didn’t see him, because he was in the back, and by the time I realized it, all of the seats in the back were taken. I was so sad and slightly jealous at the same time because instead of talking to me he was probably talking to one of his other friends. I had to sit in the front and I understand why he didn’t come with me as the front of the bus is almost as equally crowded as the back as well as the fact that there wasn’t room for both of us to sit. This same situation happened again today, only I didn’t even know he was on my bus. When I saw him, I was so surprised and distraught. This happened twice now and I know it’s my fault, but for some reason I’m blaming him. I literally just wasted time that I could’ve used to talk to him. I mean, I now it’s my fault but for some reason I feel it’s his fault. I literally waste the little time I have to talk to him by listening to music on phone trying to fill the awkward silence. It’s not that we ha e nothing in common, I am just really shy and not a good person when it comes to conversations. I’m what people call, socially-akward. I want to talk to him so bad, but I’m just not good at starting conversations.
Now this is where the real problem begins. Because of all of this, that I honestly can’t handle I feel like I want to start avoiding him, just for a little while. I feel that maybe a few days apart might help me figure out my feelings. However, for some reason I don’t want to tell him, as a way to test our friendship to see if he would ever notice that I’m mad at him and avoiding him. I did it before, wish I didn’t, in the 8th grade and he noticed it in two days. My problem is that I don’t know if I should avoid him or just forget about it. I mean he’s a really nice guy who literally did nothing wrong and I’m blaming him for my own mistakes. If I feel I want to kind of avoid him for awhile, I’ll probally only fo it until Monday. If I don’t feel better by then, I’ll tell him how I feel. I really need help!
By the way, our friendship is kind of like that of Corey and Shawn’s from Boy Meets World, if anyone has heard of it.
@tonyk16 yes we can still be in the concerts. It’s a weird situation. The low brass section is really small, so the director has to have anyone he can get.
@frazzledazzle I wish I only had that much time. And all the students are combined into one class and the freshmen take a lot of our time away. It’s boring, but I guess ill deal with it
I wish I could take drivers ed so I could drive my grandmother around but it’s too expensive which sucks.
@ak2018 A similar thing happened between me and a former best friend. We were inseparable from 6th grade through most of 8th. I wanted to meet more people and have more than 1 friend. He thought I was getting in with the wrong crowd or something. I still don’t know. We haven’t talked much since the start of 9th grade, even though our families are good friends.
