<p>wooo go APUSH. -_-;</p>
<p>I think we just finished WWII. It’s not the bad, except my teacher is a fiend when she grades the In Class Essays. I have yet to get an A on one of those. As are 95% of the APUSH students. Although I love her class. The best is when the extra credit assignment is to do a song about a labor union, and you and your friend do a rap on the AFL. I would link you, but it’s just too embarassing.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering, the dumplings are delicious.</p>
<p>We’re on Kennedy right now.
I hate how fast our class is moving, but I love that we’re like 4 chapters away from being done with the American pageant :D</p>
<p>I have a craving for ramen. Mmmm.</p>
<p>Sent from my iPhone using CC</p>
<p>Yeah. I feel like we’re behind schedule or something, because the test is still the first week of APs…I feel like she’s going to slam us with readings the second break is over. Joy.</p>
<p>Ramen = so good. Then I had it in Japan and I wanted to cry, it was so good. Poor Japan…</p>
<p>To CPU aka the OP, Please don’t take two Math Subject Tests. That’s just unnecessarily painful. Math II has everything Math I has, except with trig and precalc. .__.</p>
<p>to anyone in Newyork… do you SEE this weather ??? amazinggggg ! <3</p>
<p>i should do my pre-calc homework … considering i got a 1/20 on this last test … honestly im almost to the point where im just like whatever ill pass with a 79 … and then i look at CCer stats (BS’d or not) and i get back to my senses . </p>
<p>and i agree CPU . just take math II. i wish my school had more languages . my old school had spanish, italian, german, french and latin. this one only has spanish and italian . the highest level is College spanish and Italian 3 regents. THREE !! 
it makes me sad because i love learning languages. i wanna do it as like a side hobby.</p>
<p>Bahaha the weather is lovely here, too 
For once.</p>
<p><em>Almost burned the house down making ramen 2 days ago</em> :o</p>
<p>And I finally got my sleeping schedule back on track :D</p>
<p>I wish our school had Arabic or Japanese. I love my German class, though. :)</p>
<p>Ah, I wish we had Italian. I would definitely ditch Mandarin for that. Since we don’t, I “learn” it in my free time. Read: Review the 1st chapter in a self-study book. Over and Over Again. And again. I’m pretty sure I sound like a fool when I speak it, too. I can’t trill Rs to save my life. But I love it.</p>
<p>I love listening to German people speak. It’s amazing. lol</p>

<p>Dude, me and you need a soccer thread pronto.</p>
<p>I already decided on Math II, but thanks for caring :)</p>
<p>Um we are just starting the 1920s (chapter 31 in American pageant)</p>
<p>Defiantly, soccer is really big to me but I don’t want a career in it. Where do you play? </p>
<p>And let’s start that thread :)</p>
<p>Highschool, I used to play for a club (NASA), and i used to play ODP, but i don’t have time anymore so now it’s just highschool.</p>
<p>How did I miss a talk about J-pop and K-pop!?!?!?
I’m sooo late for it, but i’ll say what I want to say about it still.</p>
<p>I’m the queen on that stuff.
Japanese and Korean dramas are my life. I don’t even watch things in Enlgish anymore (well besides a few things)</p>
<p>BigBang…Oh my. My loves. Fav song is HaruHaru</p>
<p>GirlsGeneration ^_______^
fav songs Gee,Gee and Genie (lolz find an eng sub and you will just die)</p>
<p>S.H.E. (They are Chinese I think…)
my mind just goes crazy whenever I listen to them. </p>
<p>hmmmm best live action Japanese drama is Hana Kimi the Chinese ans Japanese versions are great. The Japanese one is the best.</p>
<p>hmmm…anime
Bleach,
Naruto
Samuri X</p>
<p>ahhhh my love for Asian related things will one day drive me crazy.</p>
<p>Ignorant people annoy me</p>
<p><.<</p>
<p>what’s wrong CPU?</p>
<p>People bothering the heck out of you?</p>
<p>Me too >:( Speaking of ignorant…UCLA library fake poly-sci b-word girl on youtube anyone? </p>
<p>@BlackRose we need to have kdrama talk…I’ve definitely seen way too many for my own good. Never got into japanese stuff though. and I’m Chinese but I don’t really enjoy Taiwanese ones…some of the music is alright though. </p>
<p>Regarding APUSH, my teacher was horrible and I had a personal problem with him when he called me a bad student for not asking questions (he also never lectured…how do you teach history without lecturing, may I ask?) and I dropped his class last semester. I’m not worried about it. he wouldn’t have prepared me and I wasn’t about to slave over something that didn’t interest me. WHAP was much more fun. Plus I’m still in the top 5% bracket even after dropping an AP. <em>shrug</em> Good luck to you all! It’s a tough class, but you guys can do it I’m sure. I just couldn’t stand the teacher. I’ve never been called a bad student in my life. What a condescending jerk.</p>
<p>I know what you mean Dax. I was injured badly back in November (2010) so I have been out for a while. But being out has helped me gain more study and work time.</p>
<p>This is why i’m glad that I do not take AP.
All you AP people scare me with horry stories.</p>
<p>I watched that UCLA vid.
I just want to stand up and smack that girl.</p>
<p>I am (well i fake that I am) Japanese. You would not beleive the amount of people who think it’s the truth. So my fake Japanese part of me is slightly hurt. But not tooo much. When an idiot talks should it hurt you? Not really. It just bothers me that she would post a vid like that.</p>
<p>and yes!!! I love dramas. Have you watched any good ones lately?
K-pop has really grabbed my attention as well.</p>
<p>CC is bothering me. I’m about to just stop posting. It’s so annoying to see all of these racist/ignorant posts. </p>
<p>“I got rejected but the black/Hispanic kid got in”</p>
<p>Someone even Said that 37 black kids at his school were accepted to ivies/MIT and the “higher achieving” white kids barely made it to community college. That’s a damn lie. </p>
<p>When they get accepted, theyre happy. When they get rejected, they blame it on minorities, like we don’t deserve anything and we’re all stupid. If I got rejected and said the adcoms were being racist, they’d argue with me, but it’s “okay” for them to do it. </p>
<p>If you don’t get accepted to a school, you have no one to blame but yourself.</p>
<p><.<</p>
<p>CPU what post is this?!?</p>
<p>Or is it just in general?</p>
<p>Not everyone is like that. It’s just a few kids. And some of these IVY wannabes need someone to blame for their failure and stupidity at not getting into an Ivy or a top 10.
So they just pull the AA card. If someone ever does that to me i’ll have a fun time smacking them :P</p>
<p>But do not take these people seriously. They are idiots.</p>
<p>@black: There are some scary AP stories…but I’ve come across far more good teachers than bad if that helps haha</p>
<p>What do you mean you fake that you are Japanese?? I haven’t been watching very much during the school year. but the last one was My Princess which was actually pretty cute and lighthearted. Freshman year I was <em>obsessed</em> with Boys Before Flowers. For my bday my friend bought me the star necklace from Korea 
</p>
<p>Really funny response to the UCLA girl (type this into youtube or google) Vlog #4: Asians in the Library - UCLA Girl (Alexandra Wallace) going wild on Asians</p>
<p>@CPU Agreed. I saw your post in the UW thread. People get so anxious they stoop so low as to blame minorities for ‘stealing’ their admission spots. UMM do they even hear themselves? if you’re not good enough of a fit for the school, you aren’t admitted. simple. people have to realize schools with a holistic approach like UW aren’t going to accept you over another (who might happen to be African American…so what?) just because you scored 100 points higher on the SAT. they might be a better student for UW to take in.
Don’t stop posting! we’d miss you too much!</p>
