Have any of y’all experienced doing work with a very lazy and careless partner? I have a presentation due tomorrow with this girl and she hasn’t even started her half so I did part of her half for her. I have a huge urge to bash her over the head when I see her.
Like seriously. Why even bother coming to school if you don’t even care about it? SMH.
Lol. You should talk to your teacher if she did not do anything.
@ak2018 YES. BOOKS ARE MY AESTHETIC. I’ve recently finished book 2 in the Outlander series. The second book was disappointing since the first one was so so so spectacular. My favourites this month are:
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (5 STARS)
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard (easy read but I like it)
Crazy Rich Asians (<3)
I pick up a new book almost every week (sometimes 2 books) and I’m obsessed. I’m currently reading The Queen of the Tearling and it’s not bad. However, I reeeeally want to read the A Song of Ice and Fire series since I’m in loove with Game of Thrones (and was named after a character in there ayyy)
@averagebean Absolutely. I had a group project in biology last year with three others and this one kid wouldn’t respond to any of our messages. If he did, he’d make up some excuse and “promise” he’d do more to help us. No. We ended up having to do his entire section of the project for him. Luckily, my other partners were great and the teacher graded individually, so that one kid failed the project and we prospered.
Just wondering,… What do you guys want to accomplish in your life?
@neptuna Lucky! Individual grading would be a dream.
@MKSherry Be rich and successful. Part of Forbes Top 40 Under 40 please looll
@averagebean I’m planning on reading this summer. Hopefully, I’ll have time.
@neptuna I’ve only had one group project my whole entire school career and it was great. It was back in the 6th grade. I’m an independent person, so I usually detest group projects. If I can do it myself, I’ll do it myself.
@MKSherry To be the best engineer I can be and maybe own my own company.
@ak2018 Being in online school, I don’t have many of them either. I’m also an independent person, but I definitely don’t mind being in a group if everyone is willing to work equally hard and take criticism for their ideas. I like MIT for that reason. They do a lot of group work, but it’s MIT so not many people are going to be as lazy and nonsensical as a lot of people in high school.
Good: I’m cruising along in school
Bad: I have no motivation
Ugly: I haven’t started my club yet, I haven’t yet signed up for Driver’s Ed, I don’t have anything planned for the summer
@MKSherry I took the ACT this school year. Not because I really wanted to, but because my school offered it for free.
Do any of you play instruments? I have been playing piano for 10 years and am studying for my ARCT diploma, flute for 3 years, guitar for 2 years and violin for 8 years. I am also remarkably good at the triangle.
OK guys, I’ve decided I want to do something productive over Spring Break. I asked my PE teacher if I was able to take the permit test without the driver’s ed class and he said I could. I thought I needed to take the class all along before I could take the actual test. He said I’ll just need to study the Virginia Road Manual then take the test. I’ll probably end up studying for no more than 3 days. I’m actually pretty excited. Spring Break starts on Saturday, technically.
@ak2018 If it’s anything like the Indiana test then it’ll be super easy 
So many questions were just common sense. Read through the manual at least once and you’ll be aight
i play the clarinet hahah
@averagebean I used to play the violin in the 6th grade. I had to stop because my brother wanted to play the violin too and since we were renting our violins for a monthly fee that, we could only afford one at a time. Maybe I’ll play it again in college.
Also, I read some books over the summer that you might like:
Boy 21 by Matthew Quick
Discovering Wes Moore by Wes Moore
Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick
Never Fall Down by Patricia McCormick
The Paladin Prophecy by Mark Frost
I loved all of them, my favorite being The Paladin Prophecy.
Will West is careful to live life under the radar. At his parents’ insistence, he’s made sure to get mediocre grades and to stay in the middle of the pack on his cross-country team. Then Will slips up, accidentally scoring off the charts on a nationwide exam.
Now Will is being courted by an exclusive prep school . . . and followed by men driving black sedans. When Will suddenly loses his parents, he must flee to the school. There he begins to explore all that he’s capable of–physical and mental feats that should be impossible–and learns that his abilities are connected to a struggle between titanic forces that has lasted for millennia.
It’s definitely a good read and is currently on book 3.
@neptuna That’s college. I find it funny how the minute people are forced to pay for school, they take things more seriously, unlike in high school, where some don’t care.
@LosingCrayon Thanks! I answered a lot of the practice questions with common sense. The road manual is only 30 pages, so I’ll probably finish it in a day with one day of review.
So I have a challenge for you guys. Google your first choice college’s major checklist (a list of all of the class needed to graduate with your major at your first choice college) and look at the first semester and see what class you need to take. Take out any of the classes that you expect will be taken out through AP classes.
1st Choice College: Virginia Tech
Major: Mechanical Engineering
CHEM 1305 General Chemistry (Might be taken out through AP credit)
CHEM 1405 General Chemistry Lab (Might be taken out through AP credit)
ENGL 1105 First Year Writing (Might be taken out through AP credit)
MATH 1205 Calculus I (Probably will be taken out with AP credit)
MATH 1114 Elementary Linear Algebra
ENGE 1024 Engineering Exploration OR ENGE 1434 Fundamentals of Engineering
(CLE Elective)
1st Choice College: Georgia Tech
Major: Aerospace Engineering
