>>8
I'm doubling up because they stuck me in Algebra I last year even though I'd already taken it in 8th grade. But you're right, I'm trying to catch up with everyone else and take pre-Calculus next year, and finally Calculus my senior year.
I really don't want to drop any classes, even though I was so stressed out(Christmas break started today btw awesome). All my junior friends are telling me that pre-cal is really easy, so I want to stay in Algebra II with atleast a B. I doubt that's going to happen after today's test. Honestly, I was AWESOME in Algebra I because it was retarded and easy. But this year, it's all about functions and parabolas and shit and the teacher gives us a load of homework every single night. Also, she does this weird grading shit so I end up with 70s on all my homework, except I only missed a few and there are a ton of questions. Excuses, excuses, but I'm pretty sure having two math classes is just taking a toll on me. Hopefully second semester, I'll rock it.
AP Bio is fun, actually. There are only like 15 people, and most of them are sophomores. Everyone's grades are ranging from about 75 to 100+ (since you can get over a hundred in AP classes), but the 100+ person is number 2 in the sophomore class, so. One guy has a 30 and he's dropping the class for good. I'm actually really good with labs and the homework, but when it comes to tests, I want to kill myself. I study for hours and don't understand anything. She also gives us two-day tests, where we do a Free Response (two very specific topics that we have to write essays on and use every single vocabulary word possible) the first day, and then multiple choice the next. I always do really well on the multiple choice, but you never know what to expect on the Free Response. I blanked during yesterday's Free Response, and just wrote a bunch of bullshit for the first topic, which was over protein synthesis beginning with, SPECIFICALLY, when mRNA attaches to the Ribosome, and ending, SPECIFICALLY, when the protein leaves the tRNA I dunno I can't even remember. It sucked. The second topic was just about genetics and mutations, and I just wrote about Down's Syndrome and crap. Okay back on topic.
I like AP Bio, but the tests make me bawww. I'm actually a little happy that my grade is a 78 in there, because it could be a lot lower. Just not willing to accept that my grade is so low in Algebra 2.
Anyways, thanks for the kind words, you guys.
Except for >>4. Not into that stuff. At all.
