The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

[chelluversu]

this year i am determined to get straight A's all yr which i havent been able to do since middle school..my first report card was amazing with 6 A's and 1 B...that b made me a little sad lol but that class is APUSH (ap us history) which is hell for anyone's gpa lol...

im joining the indoor track team this yr and im going to continue playing tennis in the spring (btw i made top 6 on the team in my first month of playing..ive been playing since march soo hmm its been 9 months now)

I couldn't run in track practice today because i didnt have my physical filled out yet so i froze to death on the football stand and hung out with the asians (you would be amazed at how diverse my school is..but theres mostly hispanics..who all seem to be from el salvador lol)

and lastly, im trying to halt this procrastination thing thats going on with me but..doesnt seem to be working. each week for apush i have an outline to do (of the chapter we are covering) and i always seem to start working on it the day before its do (i get perfect scores on them tho so.. alls well that ends well =] )..same thing with a spanish project i had to do (that i had to present in spanish..great times =\ ) << i wonder what grade i got on that thing..my teacher is a completely douche so..idk

APUSH nearly killed me. Seriously.

But yes, as of right now, I have the worst GPA of my entire high school career. With a month to go before my 1st semester of senior year is over. Goodbye, Brown. My dreams of you were lovely while they lasted.



On a sidenote, I'm seeing an awesome band later tonight. If you're into Iron & Wine and other indie folk acts like that, check these guys out.



I love love love love love these guys. SO EXCITED.

Two comments I'd like to make -

I probably didn't take as many AP classes as you guys are; it sounds to me like you're taking several - - - I took AP Bio and AP Social Studies. And they probably were a lot different back then than they are now.
But looking back, I feel that those two courses did more to prepare me for college than any other class that I had ever taken.

I certainly remember the essay questions in AP Social Studies, where I'm just SCRIBBLING as FAST as I can in order to try to answer all the questions before time was up!

Anyway, it was worth it, so hang in there!

I am so effing tired. I just got home from basketball practice. I did the math and, overall, we ran 15 'suicides' and a Deep 42. It was horrible. And I'm sooooo out of shape it's not even funny. I also really need a shower, but I don't think I can make it up the stairs. I'll stay up just long enough to watch one episode of the Nanny. Because that is what I live for.

JTIS.

^^^That was totally my head hitting the keyboard. I'm not even kidding.

I just made myself a NyQuil on the rocks.

Hahaha.

I don't think I'll be up too much longer... good night, world!

Hahaha Alexa! I've never tried NyQuil. I hope you feel better!

Rhiya- Girl, slow down! I feel tired for you. The good grades and sports? I'm impressed. I could never do both with any success.

Tomorrow, I'm going to see 'New Moon' at the midnight premier and I'm out of my mind excited! I saw the 'Twilight' Midnight premier last year and since then everyone seems to love Twilight, so I imagine it'll be bananas at the movie theater. I got my tickets a week and a half ago, matter of fact. JTIS.

Thanks girl! I'm feeling better this morning.

Ohemgee... lemme know how New Moon is!! Unfortunately my BFF (who goes to a different university) and I promised each other that we would wait to see it for the first time together! I'll be seeing her on Wednesday when we're both back home for Thanksgiving so I have to wait til then. Boo.

NyQuil is amazing for knocking my out! Makes me sleep SOOO well too...lol

[GypsyBlueEyes]

lol...so I'm not the only one who indulges in a nighttime Nyquil cocktail I have to. I'm naturally predisposed to stay up all night. If I want to be able to get up in the mornings, I have to have something to help me get to sleep.

I always thought it was best not to take more than 2 AP classes at a time. I was never strong in math so I took regular math classes in high school. I was better at science but the math component, especially in chemistry, dragged me down to the regular classes as well. I excelled in history and english, so I always took those as AP. It's funny how some of you were talking about how hard you thought AP US history is/was. I kicked some major ass in that class. I was earning better grades than our eventual valedictorian, it was sweet! My favorite AP class was European History. So much work, but I loved it (of course I now have a masters degree in history, so I'm just a little biased). I got a 5 on that exam, and knew it the minute I walked out. The teacher told us at the beginning of the year we would be sleeping with Kagan (writer of our textbook), and we all had a good laugh, until it turned out to be true! I think I spent the entire week before the exam mumbling about the Peace of Westphalia!
