guess whos back
Wow, I haven't updated this in forever. I've always been meaning to but I've just been soooooooo busy. I guess I'll do the typical school update first.
A DAY:
Gym: I. HATE. HAVING. GYM. FIRST. THING. IN. THE. MORNING. Uggghhhh. It sucks. Plus since our other gym is under construction the stupid freshman are in gym with everyone else therefore there is not enough space for like a fourth of the kids in gym class. Being part of that fourth, we are forced to go outside onto the tennis courts, which are FREEZING COLD at fucking 8 am. Ahhhh. But anyway in gym I'm doing FOOTBALL. I know, me, doing football. I didn't exactly pick it - when they gave us the option they called it soccer/football, which I interpreted to mean, some people play soccer and some people play football. I like soccer, which is why I picked it. But NOPE. We've been playing football. And I suck. haha. It's embarrassing too when the varsity football captain is on your team with people like me who suck. Mmm yeah. Gym.
World Lit A: I like the class as far as the material we are learning.. it's pretty interesting to read actually. We're reading Indian literature and its actually good, especially this one contemporary story we read about a couple with a troubled marriage called A Temporary Matter, omg I loved it. But I DESPISE Mrs. Yaeger. DESPISE. I like her as a person, I mean she is very nice, but as a teacher I CANNOT STAND HER. She has the most monotone voice ever and is such a tough grader on everything! I think she may even be more rough of a grader than Miss Nic in AP Lit last year, and THAT WAS TOUGH. Ahhhhhh but she makes me want to scream everytime I hear her voice. I've had such good lit teachers throughout high school....freshman and sophomore year with Miss Bauer, who I LOVED and who LOVED me, and who is therefore writing me my teacher recommendation for college. Actually she wrote it already and she says it was "beautiful", so I'm glad. But anyway yeah. I dislike Mrs. Yaeger. As well as a lot of the kids in the class. Lots of them are juniors who are just freeeeeeeaaaaaaaakin obnoxious. Blah. Not enjoying Lit.
Calc: I HATE THIS CLASS SO MUCH. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO x 345824732874832749327491732917239713297194732947239752 much. I like the people in it, and I guess I like Mr. Russ and have gotten a little used to his teaching style, but it is SO FREAKING HARD!!! And his tests. Oh, his tests are impossible. Oh my god. I cringe thinking about them. I got a 72 on the first one and a 68 on the second one. That is so.. terrible! I hate doing this bad in a class. Hate hate hate hate it. The only thing saving me is the fact that I have always done my homework. We were supposed to have a test on Tuesday, but Mr. Russ was absent, so naturally I was like ALLELUIA!! Until he was absent again the next day for the B Day kids and then absent for us again. Then I started getting a little worried. And then today someone told me he was in the hospital :( so now I feel bad. I want him to come back because I want him to be ok but...I don't want to take another test. Ha. But yeah generally, Calc is by far my most stressful class.
Creative Writing: LOVE this class. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I've grown to like the table I've been assigned to and even though we're like all in different grades we get along pretty well. We've been writing memoirs and I've been doing really well with that. I have a 96 in the class so far. And naturally, I love Miss Bauer. And I love her even more for writing me an amazing recommendation.
B Day:
B Days are far more easier and relaxing.
Euro History AP: It's hard and it's a lot of work, but it's veeeeery interesting. I like learning it. We just finished learning about the Protestant Reformation and I thought it was pretty interesting. We just had a test on it too and I think I did really well. We had another test a few weeks ago which I did pretty bad on... I got like a 74 or something. But I definitely did much better on this one. And I like Mr. Melvin a lot, he's a cool guy. He makes history interesting and he's really funny.
TV Production 1: I like it when we actually do stuff, but there are maaaany classes where we just sit there and do nothing. As much as that sounds relaxing, it gets boring sometimes, since I may want to be a communications major in college. But yeah. Idk.
GT: Loooove it. My GT pass is like sacred to me. I love getting to go home and take a break from the school day as well as getting to eat GOOD food as opposed to the crap they serve us in our cafeteria. But I do have to work. I've basically just been doing a bunch of photoshop tutorials that Mrs. Wagner showed me on some website. If I apply to be a graphic design major though, I have to hand in a portfolio with VARIOUS types of art. So I have to learn how to draw and paint and all that shit again. So I tried doing a watercolor painting today and um....failed. But that's ok. It was fun. Blah and I have been so lazy about keeping my GT journal. But now I have to definitely do it.
Food and Nutrition: It's pretty fun now that we have actually been cooking stuff. So far we have made a fruit salad, vegetable platter, orange smoothie (it tasted like a creamsicle.... so good), and oatmeal raisin cookies. I've learned so many new things from that class that I never even would have thought of. It's a very practical class to have. Except we had a sub today so I wanted to die of boredom because we just sat there and did busy work.
Earlier this month, I visited the University of Michigan. Mennen's sister Liz showed me around from the student's perspective which was cool because she has a lot of school spirit and loves her school lol and then I also went on the campus tour. I loved the school and the whole college town atmosphere...but I did NOT love the school for what I thought I'd love it for: the art and design school. On the collegeboard website they talk about how there are tons and tons of different art majors, all of which sounded amazing to me, like graphic design, cinematography, etc, etc, so I thought that if I didn't like my major I could easily switch into something else. Nope. It was all a lie. There are no art majors, except for art and design. You take mandatory art courses your first two years in drawing, woodworking, metalworking, ceramics, and other crap. WHAT THE HELL? I don't wanna do that! I wouldn't even touch a computer til junior year and that's so not how I roll. It turned me off from being a graphic design major soooooo much, even though I know most schools probably arent' like that. But seeing the art and design school...I dunno. I dunno if I feel comfortable in that "art" environment all the time. This is why I'm considering being a communications major instead. I love everything about communications and I feel that it might be a better environment for me.
Speaking of college, I'm taking the SATs tomorrow. Except this time, I am VERY well prepared. I've been doing SAT tutoring since the beginning of September and have learned sooooooooooo much more than from that shit ass SAT class I took last year. I hope I do well because if not, well I just might cry. I am nervous as hell but I am confident this time around that I will get a much better score.
And as of now, I decided that I am applying to:
Syracuse University
Northeastern University
University of Michigan
Boston University
and Ithaca College
But that's a whole nother discussion in itself.
And now I'm sick of writing this.
So...until next time kids!
