High School Class of 2019

I got a really bad sunburn and now it looks like I’ve been spray-painted with paint the exact color of a beefsteak tomato.

I have been very paranoid about going outside after staying inside for a whole season because I do not want to get sun rash/sun poisoning like my sister did :-S

same here, I always get the worst sunburn

@neophite I personally hate Kobe but that ending was amazing. Way to go out, man.

Or at least I heard it was, I was too busy watching Steph get 400 3s in a season and catching the Dubs’ 73rd Dub.

I don’t think anyone else besides Michael has been more purely fun to watch than #30 ever, honestly…

So I went to a state conference for FBLA (Do you all have that? Future Business Leaders of America) and it was actually (and completely unexpectedly) lit.

I got 3rd in my category (Intro to Financial Math) so I qualified for Nationals, which is awesome (depending on whether or not I can pay for it). I actually bluffed my way through the vocab in it cause I didn’t know there was any…but I guess everyone else pulled my same random-guessing strategy, in which case I got extremely lucky. Yay!

@awesomepolyglot @northeastgirl24 I’m so glad that I can tan. I went to Florida over Spring Break and came back darker than one of my Indian friends :smiley: One of my other friends who also went to Florida turned pinkish-red.

We’re doing 3-D graphing in Algebra 2 right now and I’m actually dying. I’m so bad at anything spatial, which is why I will never, ever, ever be an engineer.

For neophite and anyone else who likes basketball-this is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCZ3DhCLpBc It’s a Game of Thrones parody, but I know nothing about Game of Thrones and love and cherish with the all my heart.

Last thing, I promise-does anyone here listen to Hamilton? I started listening to it last month and have the entire soundtrack memorized. I managed to watch an illegal version of it on YouTube before it was removed, which was amazing.

@jdecker9 I was actually able to go see Hamilton back in February, and I agree
it was the best Broadway show I’ve seen in a while!!

@jdecker9 I qualified for nationals in SQL database fundamentals, but no way I’m payin’ that much to go. XP

@jdecker9
this is super weird but my FBLA experience was pretty much the same as yours. I got third at state in Intro to Financial Math too, and I also completely bluffed my way through the vocab.

Also, I absolutely love Hamilton! I was actually singing it so much at track practice today that my friend switched lanes so she didn’t have to hear it anymore. Her loss I guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

@northeastgirl24
You’re so lucky you got to see Hamilton live! It won a Pulitzer Prize today which was totally well-deserved.

@northeastgirl24 Ughhhh the envy is real…tickets are like $1K apiece :((

I just took a practice ACT and got a 30. I scored 29 on English, 28 on math, 33 on reading, and 29 on science.

So, a common theme among human beings is complaining about the actual athletes in gym class. (“They enjoy the Pacer,” you complain.). Well, the world record holder for fastest half mile time for 14 year olds lives in the US. In the South. In Tennessee. In Middle Tennessee. In my county. In my town. He goes to my school and (sigh) is in my gym class. I’m just a little disgruntled that, while I’m struggling along by lap 20, he can run a 5:45 mile for 13 consecutive miles. Sigh.

Wow that’s really bad luck

@neophite thanks haha say it again in a couple months

all of this flooding in Houston makes me think that maybe tornadoes aren’t so bad after all

:frowning:

I’m no star athelete, but I love the pacer tbh (best score ~110). My gym class has a lot of “non-typical” units, like pillow polo and handball, so for me (a long distance track runner) the pacer is pretty enjoyable.

Only downside to it is that to get a 100% on it, guys have to get a 91, which is waaaaay over the average.

@jdecker9 golden state is good, but too much hype is around curry. No doubt he wouldn’t be that good without green and bogut (who, by the way, sets way too many moving picks that aren’t called). I really wish OKC could win a championship soon tho!

@OMPursuit lol you could say the same thing about snow and hurricanes for the northeast! Hope it gets better for u tho!

How the fudge do they expect people to run a 91 consistently

Anyway, that guy I posted about earlier? He did 115 laps today. I did 35 ??? like dude what ??? ???

@awesomepolyglot Guh p.p
when you guys talk about the pacer, I imagine that thing in GATTICA? like, a treadmill?
I’ve never run on one

^^ haha me too, we just have to run a mile in gym class

@northeastgirl24 my school makes us log hours of physical activity

I have been neglecting to fill it out over the course of the year, but have my hours all logged on my phone. During the last few weeks I’m planning on writing it all out and handing it in! :stuck_out_tongue:

We had to do the pacer in 8th grade and this one guy best the school record with 100-something
