finally, a day off

So I have off for the Jewish new year so I can finally post

but i have homework so heres a summary of whats happened:

i got a 52 on a quiz…:/ and a 92  on a quiz, and an 87 on another quiz…i gotta get my grades up

i made strawberry crumb cake…but it turned out like pie so

i had to make brownies for national art honor society, and 24 cupcakes for spanish honor society…on the same day. i never want to bake that much ever again

and yeah…i dunno if i’m gonna have time to keep posting. i cant be committed, im just not going to have time

and ive made a yahoo answers account thing…most addictive thing ever.

oh! and i entered this $1,000 scholarship thing, so i hope i win…i believe they are gonna announce the winners today or tomorrow…

good things come to those who take matters into their own hands

So, as I mentioned in my first post on this blog, my major problem this year was being in regular bio, instead of honors. My guidance counselor was no help, saying that my grades weren’t high enough (I had a 90 overall last year…not amazing, but I didn’t fail.) However, I instantly thought “screw guidance, I’ll figure this out myself,” so I did. I tried finding my science teacher from last year, but I couldn’t so I had my mom call the school to talk to her. Turns out my science teacher sent papers down to guidance saying that I was to be placed in honors bio. This all basically means I wasted 2 weeks of my life taking the wrong class. Our school has science classes have a double period every other day for “labs”…basically meaning every other day, you would have 80 minutes of class instead of 40. In this 2 week period, I wasted approximately 10 hours doing complete and utter crap.

To celebrate me being pretty darn smart, I made chocolate chip muffins, along with cinnamon muffins. Victory is sweet….man that was cheesy.

Lesson you should learn from this all: guidance counselors are generally idiots who don’t care about you. Take matters into your own hands if you want to accomplish anything. Don’t rely on anyone else but yourself. People suck.

In other news, I took a PSAT class yesterday (Thursday), which was another waste of time. The math teacher gave us a section in a workbook to do, so we did that and he would go over some of the questions with us. Unfortunately, this man has no clue what hes talking about. He talks like hes half-dead (which he probably is, he looks it…) and in the other class that my friends are in, a kid had to help him solve a problem. The lady who teaches the English component of this all isn’t that bad, but she has a creepy smile. What a great way to kill $155.

Oh glory, I think I see you ’round the bend

Oh yeah…I’m getting so fancy with the titles for posts here. The song I got that lyric is from:

Gosh, wordpress’ format has changed a lot in the past 4 years. I cant even believe I’ve been on here that long, I feel so old…

Anyways, I didn’t find my science teacher from last year, so no letter of recommendation for me….yet. I will find that lady.  For bio homework tonight, we had to write a hypothesis statement using the “if….then…” format…soo hard…

Today was so much better than yesterday, but it still cannot compare to last year. I finished my trig homework, bio is so easy that I’ll just do it tomorrow, so all I have left is spanish homework. I’m probably going to end up looking up most of the words since I forgot a lot over the summer…and this is my 4th year of taking spanish. Show how much I learned

OH! and I have a test tomorrow where I have to know all the capitals of all the countries in Europe, along with where those countries are located (I’m going to have to label them on a blank map), and where the major rivers and mountains are located….time to go study for that…wish me luck D:

Sophomore Year

My sophomore year of high school has been horrible so far.  I needed a place to rant, so I decided “why not just go back to wordpress?” WordPress has been here through everything, and I’ve probably used it for personal issues more than I’ve realized, and I’ve come to the conclusion that its my one true friend.

Today is September 12th, school started on the 6th.  So far, its already been…horrible. At this point, you’re probably thinking, “she has food…she has water…she has shelter…what could be so wrong?” Well, the answer to that is: school. My freshman year was amazing, and I guess life picked up on that and decided to throw crap into it.

Further explanation, I’m currently in Algebra 2/Trig (a year ahead of “normal” kids…I honestly think everyone is smart in their own way but whatever), Humanities, and Biology… unfortunately, i am not the year ahead in science, so I’m stuck in bio. Not even honors bio, nope. Regular bio. What could be so wrong about that? Well, tonight, 5th day into school, I had a worksheet on cause and effect. I swear, 3rd graders get harder science work. The worksheet basically gave 4 scenarios where you had to give the cause and effect of something.

For example:

You drop something on your foot. _______________

Your foot starts to swell. __________________

On those lines, you had to give what was the cause of that scenario, and the effect.  Also, today, my gym class let out late so i was around 3 minutes late to bio.  I didn’t have a pass because i couldn’t find my gym teacher, and i hoped my teacher would understand. Did she? Nope. Today, of all days, we had a motherflippin’ quiz. What did i get on this quiz? (Which, by the way, was on “lab safety”…at this point, I know I have to wear goggles.) Well, I got a 0. Great way to start off the year.

Flash back to Friday, I have an appointment with my guidance counselor about changing into honors bio and trig. I had to wait 2 periods, which is approximately an hour and 20 minutes, for this appointment. I was told to be there at 9:45, but I didn’t get to see my guidance counselor til 11:05. Did I get my schedule changed? Obviously not. I wasted class time for nothing. However, tomorrow I am hoping to find my science teacher from last year, and beg for a letter of recommendation for honors bio. Fingers crossed it works.
