High School Class of 2019

thank you @annana :smiley:

hello @cactusvase ! Welcome :DD
What’s your schedule for next year (if you’ve got one yet)?

@greenlegobrick What’s you’r motivation behind self-studying? Psych is interesting enough that I’ve been considering it, too! :v

@kelsey19 English 10 over here will be taught by a certain teacher I’ve got a love/hate relationship with, so I’m conflicted but excited for it!
he seems to like my writing, though, and he’s not the type to shirk reading (like the English 9 teachers were) :>

@annana too l8

I probably already said this, but everybody’s least favorite English 2 teacher is going to the new high school!

@OMPursuit Without exception, my school doesn’t let people do APs until junior year because it’s an intensive private high and our normal classes are already pretty rigorous. So I’m just doing accelerated classes because those are the highest I’m allowed to do. But yeah, this is my sophomore year schedule:

French 3 Accelerated
Chemistry Accelerated
Fine Art I
English 10 (no accelerated available)
Algebra 2 Accelerated
World History Accelerated

I’m really excited about chem and fine art :slight_smile:

There are only 2 English 2h teachers at my school and the first is also the AP Lang teacher who is supposedly super strict and then the other literally gives everyone a 100 and just plays the Star Wars movies in class-- it’s like polar opposites

Can we talk about Stromae

Whoo, fun! :smiley: @cactusvase
Is Fine Art more about theory or technical stuff? Do you already do artstuffs?

honestly @northeastgirl24 I’d totally prefer the former; movies in class can get to me >.>
which are you more hopeful for?

I hate movies in class, no matter the movie.

Anyway, I need to stop bombing Romeo and Juliet quizzes lol.

@awesomepolyglot I love Stromae!!! I first listened to Papaoutai, then listened to all his other songs

I’m hoping for the AP Lang teacher, it might not be better for my grade but it’ll be better for my English/writing skills overall

Man, all the English II teachers are meh. One is good, but her class is taught like AP Lit – probably because she teaches AP Lit, too.

@IrrationalPepsi I have the Barrons review book too, haha. Thanks, though!
@OMPursuit I’m self-studying because Psychology is an amazing subject! Also, I’ve read through the IB Psychology textbook and I found it fun and rather easy to comprehend, so I’m giving it a try. Why not, right? You should definitely consider self-studying for Psych, too, if your school doesn’t offer the course.

The other day I was talking to my friend and I was like, “I can’t wait till school’s over.”
Her: “I can’t wait till I retire.”
Me: (insert rofl-ing emoji here)

@OMPursuit The English 2 teacher I’ll have seems pretty nice, or at least she did when she came in and talked to us about our summer reading. I was talking to a couple of people who had her this year, and they seemed to like her but thought she graded harder than the teacher I have now.

Only one day of school left for me! I have a final first hour tomorrow but that’s it. I can’t beleive freshmen year went by this fast.

All we are doing in English is taking outdated exams. The state english exams have changed dramatically since 2009 lol

My last B-day is tomorrow thank the lord

@greenlegobrick, are you only using Barrons as a source for self-studying?

25 days til school finals

Lol I’m having early onset senioritis right now…IDK how I’m gonna manage to pull of As in English and Bio-I have 91s in both classes right now and I got a B in both first quarter.

Grading system:
Q1-2/9
Q2-2/9
Q3-2/9
Q4/2/9
Final-1/9

So if I get a B in either this quarter I have to get an A on the final exam, and I do not want that pressure on me…other classes I have to actually completely fail the final to get a B so…

Also is anyone else being harassed by the National Academy of Future Science and Technology Leaders? The deadline was three months ago and I’m still getting emails from them…I hate science.

Speaking of which, my school is making me take Honors Computer Science because AP Psych is full… :frowning:

@jdecker9 They sent me their stuff! Only one letter, though. I hope they stop; that sounds terrible… :s
CS might not seem so cool as psych, but computers can be pretty awesome. I hope that turns out alright! :v

I keep getting spam from some leadership thing. Based on my PSAT scores! If anything, my score would suggest staying inside all day and studying rather than leadership.

Oops I’ve been away forever! My finals are going on right now and so far, I’m still maintaining that 3.9 GPA
