I'm going to keep this post short because I have about two seconds of free time.   The reason for that is my stupid English projects- I need to finish a vocab list and write a paper for tomorrow, and I need to complete a wacky project about the philosophies of American Romantic writers by Thursday.  I'm not even half-way done with my paper for ( Read more... )

Yep... this is definately one of those days.  School went by really fast- and while I know I did a lot today, it felt like I accomplished nothing.  Ugh.

So, first I had two tests.  I aced the Spanish one- there's maybe two questions I got wrong- but the second was my chemistry test.  I have a feeling I got around an 89 (again), but you never know- ( Read more... )

The Latest on the Math Drama:  Of course, nothing can ever be easy.  (Sets a tone, doesn't it?)  I went to school early today so I could get my new math teacher to sign my form.  But when I showed up, his light was on and his room was locked.  I had to wait for ten minutes before he showed up... but I did get the form signed.  I thought that it ( Read more... )

I think it's more accurate to say that it's just been one of those weeks, but I think I only have such a pessimistic outlook because of the math drama.  Which, by the way is resolved.  My parents and I decided that I'm going to drop from the honors level to the a level, so I shouldn't be having as much trouble anymore.  I'll also have a better ( Read more... )

It's that time of the year... progress reports for term one came out today.  I was happy, of course, with the majority of my classes but math is another story.  Algebra, you're killing me!

So, I'm in all-honors classes with the exception of Spanish, which is my third language.  (My second is Latin).  My history class is currently weighted as an ( Read more... )

Heh heh, I kinda forgot that I had a LJ and therefore didn't post for what, two weeks?  I'm so sorry, I promise not to do it again!

And I just looked at my reading list that I posted a while ago- I am never going to get that done.  I have enough reading to do for English.... speaking of which, I read about 100 pages of Walden (by Henry David Thoreau ( Read more... )

Hey, everyone!

I'm pretty hyper right now because I've just finished working on my latest English paper.  The assignment was to write a speech in the style of John Edwards ("Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God") about something that you feel needs to change.  Of course I had to write about the sadistic nature of College Board, and since I'm really ( Read more... )

Today I would like to present to you something that comes around every year: The (Evil) English Assignment.  Last year said assignment was a 3D map of Odysseus' journey- and this year, a crazy paper written as a group.  And did I mention that it counts as a test grade?

Anyway, the assignment works like this: you form a group, and each group gets a ( Read more... )

I'm so sorry for the posting delay!  There were so many times that I felt like posting- I actually have several things to talk about, but I just didn't have the time to write.  And now that I do have the time, I'm simply to exhausted to write a full-length post.

And why am I so tired? History.

You see, I'm in the Advanced Placement US History class ( Read more... )

I am the absolute worst Merlin fan possible.  I should have known that the BFI was going on, but of course I didn't.  I actually only found out about it today, so I had to read through nearly twenty posts of recounts and pictures and videos.  Which was fun, of course, but I was mad that I hadn't found out about it earlier.  I mean, everyone had ( Read more... )
