Welcome @ItsEmilie ! Procrastination is a great skill xD
I am literally procrastinating on writing a test by doing 8th grade math problems. Sue me.
I just wanted to share this story with yall.
So my parents (I’m black btw) grew up in the South (mom from Georgia and dad from South Carolina). They didn’t live in the ghetto but they weren’t in the best places financially. Both of my parents had one of their parents die at a young age, my moms mom from breast cancer and my dads dad. My mom had 2 sisters and my dad was an only child.To sum it up, they didn’t have the best life.
So college time came around. They both went to Clemson University which is where they met, and after that they both went to Georgia Tech. After around 8 or 9 years of being together, they got married.
Fast foward about 16 years later, they have 2 kids and together make 300k+ a year. My point of this story is that you don’t have to go to an Ivy League or top 10 school to get a good education. My parents didn’t grow up with a lot and now they have amazing jobs and are doing great! This taught me that I don’t need to get into Harvard and getting in doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to be a millionaire.
Just wanted to share this (:
@adiacs Why can’t I like that more than once? That’s a super great story.
Sorry for the double post, but I have to rant. Nowadays, it seems like everything I hear or see is about updog. I am so tired of updog.
What’s updog? 
@manspeak2u Not much, dog, what’s up with you?
@awesomepolyglot Reading ‘The Jungle’. This book is so depressing it’s funny. Like I actually laughed. My teacher said we are reading it during Christmas so that “I don’t get suicidal”.
I was soooo proud of myself, too…
I’m literally doing all of math on Khan Academy. I started in August and now I’m almost done with 8th grade math.
You passed the Counting section?!? Cannot seem to figure that one out.
:)) I’m about 93% done with 8th grade math.
@awesomepolyglot I am doing khan academy too. XD I am currently reviewing my algebra for next year when I do algebra II. I swear it was harder when I was learning algebra originally but now it’s kind of easy.
I’m doin’ Khan Academy, too! 
I’m tackling Pre-Calc, since I’ve already got the background for it (from the first half of Algebra 2) and I’m really tired of my A2 teacher’s slow pace.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to start on Calc this summer! :DDD
Jeez, I know I need the head-start. o.o
I’m going to study calc 1 (equivalent to AB Calc) in 2nd semester and over the summer (depending on how long it takes to finish) because for some reason my school teaches AP Calc AB and BC as a series and that’s way too slow for me.
I’m kinda disappointed. I thought since I got straight As in Gifted program that I would be like top 10 in class. Nopee Rank 11/686. 
11 out of 686 isn’t bad at all, keep it up!! Ugh it may seem weird but I love learning, lol 8-}
Hello, @kenichiwa!
Don’t worry too much about your class rank, as long as you’re in the top 10% of your class you won’t be hurt whenapplying to colleges.
Yeah, and that’s… You’re in the top 2%. Aahaha, that’s swell!
Haha… Ha…
I have no idea when I get my semester report card. If anybody has the lovely Looney as superintendent, PM me, and we can try to figure this crap out.
