HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE EAST COAST!!!
Happy new years from Washingtonthestate
Happy New Year everyone! I’m celebrating the fact that the new season of Sherlock premieres tonight more than anything. 
I may have a disdain for most BBC programming, but I still hold Sherlock in high regard. It’s impressively well imagined and realized.
Unfortunately, I have to prioritize my AP Euro project over Sherlock. I suppose I’ll Torrent it later.
I have not slept in over 24 hours. 
I’m pouring my blood sweat and tears into my APUSH homework to make sure that I finish it by midnight tonight. My brain is exploding from too much Reconstruction knowledge being shoved in there…
So even though I said I’m not that optimistic about 2017, I thought I’d go ahead a make a list of good things that “will” happen this year.
In 2017, I will:
- Make it through junior year with a B or higher in all of my classes.
- Pass my online class and go to the NASA Summer Academy which will lead to many potential career-networking opportunities in the future.
- Attend leadership workshops (and the Lockheed Martin Minorities in Engineering Day) in order to better hone in on my leadership skills.
- Participate in STEM outreach programs that will benefit students at both my middle school and high school.
- Get a 1300 or better on the SAT!
- Plan my days to minute and create a better schedule for myself.
- Enjoy the last summer that I’ll be a minor.
- Post more on my YouTube Channel (Haven’t forgot about that one! :)) )
- Start to do more coding in Java.
- Read “Catcher in the Rye”.
- Finish all of my college applications by the end of September in order to have a less stressful senior year.
- Pass my AP exams!
- Complete my summer class with a B or higher!
- Volunteer at the library for the last time over the summer?
- Hopefully know where I’m going to college before the end of the year!
Before the end of the decade, I will:
- Have done undergraduate research that puts my name out there in a research publication.
- Intern with a big engineering firm.
I just looked at the due date for my APUSH homework and it’s due TOMORROW at midnight, thank god! We have tomorrow off for break, too, so I guess my APUSH teacher decided to throw us a bone 
I’m going to finish taking notes and then go to bed and do the packet tomorrow.
If anyone needs any help for APUSH, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message. I got a 5 on the exam and an A in the class, so I can be a resource of use for any desperate students out there.
Meanwhile, I’m up past midnight still doing my Euro project. Cheers.

I just received my grades for my online college class and they’re really good!
Module 1 APA Paper/Essay - 95.56% - A
Module 1 Quiz - 80% - B
Module 1 Lab Data Interpretation - 100% - A
Current Grade: 94.81% - A
It’s great to know I’m doing well. @snowfairy137 How about you?
@ak2018 I’m doing fine. I got a C on the first quiz then started doing a lot better because I understood the format. Then I got As and 100%s on a bunch of stuff. Then I got a couple of Bs cause I procrastinated and rushed at the last minute. I have a 93% rn.
@Marg532 - the Reconstruction period is literally so trash it’s not even important
i remember when I read about it there really wasn’t much to remember
it was basically “the north tried to fix things in the south by bringing north culture w/ carpetbaggers and stuff and then there was tension” that’s it that is all of reconstruction
sincerely,
someone who got a 5 on APUSH
@snowfairy137 Yeah, procrastination definitely gets to me, but I’m somehow always able to pull through. I literally turned in everything for Module 1 a week before the due date and I’m currently 80% of the way done with Module 2, which is due next Saturday. I feel like I got the hang of it, but once Module 3 starts, we only have two weeks to get everything done for each module, so I’m going to be pretty much working on the class any chance I get (on holidays and snow days). Either way, I can definitely do this!
lol literally haven’t looked at APUSH all break have to cornell the reconstruction chapter tommorow
Echoing @oPhilippos, my APUSH teacher explicitly told us Reconstruction is not very important and breezed through the unit in two days. There are certain units that you just do not need to know a lot about. Antebellum, Reconstruction and post-Vietnam particularly, as far as I can recall.
@Wolfgangbread @oPhilippos That’s probably why my teacher planned it so that we did this chapter over break haha
School starts tomorrow. Not mentally ready
same @Marg532
I have a random question, has anyone used google’s Gboard here? I started using it to do the swiping capabilities, but I’m still debating between that and the preset iOS keyboard.
