School nerd mood = Happy

[heart_music_]

School started 23th August and now I'm officially an IB student. Last year, I was a Pre, which means the year is dedicated for students to prepare for the actual IB course.
Now I'm in IB1 (WOOT WOOT).
It's so nostalgic seeing the Pres come, all confused and not knowing where to go XD Not knowing anything about our teachers and as the "kick-in" (

oh, um, the last thing I heard about CAS was that they were going to change it so that you didn't have the 50 hour limit, but that you were to do your activities continuously throughout your two IB years. but, um, I graduated a over a year ago, and maybe it was just in the talks

[heart_music_]

omg a human being that survived IB XDD
well the 50 hour limit hasn't changed and neither have I heard any info about it in school =/ although we do have to continue to do the activities. The 50 hour limit is for passing CAS and then those who have done total of 150 hrs, do not need to do any CAS activities in the last term of IB2. I think that's preety good cause that's the most crucial time in IB 0.0'

omg, we were so lazy in my year! honestly, when exams came rolling around, we went like 'well, maybe we should study, ya' know?' but, um, then again, I only got 34 points, so maybe that's the explanation :P

anyway, there was a girl who told me "Lella, CAS finns bara till för att lära IB elever att ljuga" >.>

aaah~ our teachers has scared us so much from the beginning that we are ready eventhough they throw a friggin hungry shark on us XD
I believe that it's not completely the students fault, the teachers should have warned you cause wth we are lazy XD

LOL men det är faktiskt så. Det finns inte alls många eller rättare sagt, INGA som är motiverad för CAS. så här ser deras journal entry ut:
Today I cycled to school. It was tiresome and I got less sleep.
...
THAT'S IT! o.0
Jag har inte börjat med TOK än och många säger att det e ba slöseri med tid..
tycker att om det finns nån bra förklaring för IB så e det på uncyclopedia.
klockrent! XDD &hearts

hey, I was so happy that I got more than 30 points. >.> you never know. and there was a lot of teacher switching. we lost the best english teacher because the IB coordinator had a grudge against her =(((((( and then we changed coordinator (yay for retirement!) to the whimsy History teacher. ♥

and they can't write that in their diaries! the diary is supposed to be all positive and stuff, to be about how CAS has changed their nerdy life to the better, and how they're now all fulfilled human beings with a reason for living.

det är bra om man tar åtminstonde en helg till sin ToK. Extended tar otroligt lång tid, men även om du har en jättebra EE, så kan ToK dra ner på poängen :( men ToK är flum. fast ganska kul i alla fall :)

ugh that sucks, I mean the teacher switching thing LOL
my IB-corrdinator is some whimsy history teacher =.=' who btw blinks waaaaay too much o.0
but we in jönköping still love him! XD the graduated IB2 had a shirt made where he was drawn as a cartoon character type.
I soooo wanna buy it 0.0
anywho, it's good that you are satisfied with your grades. In your case, things could have been worse ne~

oh? o.O we just have to write how we experienced it.
to be honest CAS has changed my nerdy life o.o

jag vet inte riktigt än hur ToK fungerar eftersom jag har bara haft 2 IB1 dagar och jag hade ToK men vi delade oss i grupper då.
Asåå jag trodde att det var individuellt, att man får 1 poäng i EE, 1 i ToK och 1 i CAS men då hur kan det dra ner poängen?
jag längtar tills att ha ToK eftersom det hjälper min diet XDDD

[rolling_scone]

det finns en tabell där man räknar ut gur många poäng man får beroende på betyget på ens essäer. t.ex. jag hade B på min EE och D på min ToK (det var inte många som fick bra betyg på sin ToK på min skola, och året innan protesterade läraren (till IBO) mot att ingen fick bra betyg på sin) och jag fick ett poäng. om du har A på EE och A på ToK får du tre poäng, men det är ganska svårt faktiskt. man får inga poäng för CAS, men man måste ha genomfört CAS för att få sitt IB Diploma.

and, um, I had so many CAS hours, srsly. I was a scoutleader. that was like an everything-in-one thing >.> and, um, but nerds are hot too. :P

[heart_music_]

jahaaa...fan också! jag som trodde att det skulle bra med CAS poäng -.-' åt skogen med det då
asså IB på din skola låter inte alls organiserat och det behöver det verkligen va för att förståa saker och får bra betyg..
aja jag får se helt enkelt hur det går för mig nu ..screwed <(^-^)v

yea that's true!
and hell yes they are ..hopefully XD
