Daily posts

So i want to try and post daily. I was trying to get this blog caught up with everything that has happened in my life and that just makes the blogs supper long and it's kind of overwhelming for me when i think about blogging and how i have to write this supper long message. so im gonna try to post as often as possible and make the blogs just about the most recent things that have happened and then when I get time i'll blog more in depth about things.
Anyways...

So in electronic music we have formed groups and we have to write a song about school and... yourself (i guess...) being bully free. Now.. i dont think it would be so bad if we didnt have to start it off with "Sing with me, I'm bully free". Eh... anyways, my group has decided that each of us are going to write our own lyrics and when we come back to school monday (if we dont have snow that is :D) then we will vote for our favorite. Im considering not even attempting a song cause i know it's going to be aweful anyways. But oh well... i know someone else in the group will be able to come up with something.

So today I went to go see Alice in Wonderland performed by the drama students at Northwest. I went with my boyfriend and we met some other people there. Oh my god... Aice in Wonderland would probably be the most amazing and fun play to perform. It was so ridiculous, I loved it! During intermission they had a "tea party" in the cafeteria where we got tea and cookies. It was alot of fun. My boyfriend paid for my ticket. I offered to pay and I do try to pay for myself cause I normally don't like it when people pay for my stuff, but he ended up paying for me this time. He also bought me this really pretty rose that they were selling there. My boyfriend is so sweet... and I love him with a passion. Anyways, we went out to eat at this amazing Japanese restraunt afterwards and we ended up being the only people in there. It made me feel kind of bad cause they were closing up and everyone that worked there ended up sitting around just sort of waiting for us. ^^; When it comes to their food im a bit of a slow eater... (and a messy one >.<)

So I'm realizing that I've got so much more to tell you but it's late... and I'm very tired... so next time I get the chance I will catch you up on everything else.

New classes! ^_^

I do believe that I mentioned before that I had exams and mid terms to take ,in an earlier post. So obviously all that stuff is over with (finally :D) and I have even found out my grades.

So first period I have Japanese (The people in there are great. Also, we all call our teacher sensei. I don't think I've ever used her real name before.) I got an A on the mid term I took in there. (We got some extra credit help and honestly, without it I probably would have made a C or D... I'm not exactly sure though, it's been quite sometime since all this has happened. This post has been sitting here as a draft forever.)

Anyways, second period I have electronic music and I think... that I made a B or C on that midterm... Currently, I'm not doing very well in that class (I've got a D) but... it's kind of hard to have a real good grade when the majority of your grades comes from the projects we do and when a lot of my projects been through some... complications... that hurts us getting the project done on time and having it done well. Also, I hate the tests we have in Electronic music. They're all open note tests but I'm not much of a note taker and I always seem to miss the most important stuff.

Next I have English. I think I made a.. C? or maybe it was a B? anyways... my overall grade in that class is an A so I'm not worried about it. Only... the questions on the mid term were rather frustrating. He never really told us what to study and my grade in that class was already so good that I just didn't worry about studying at all. But then I got the test and he had all kinds of questions about stories that we had read at the beginning of the year and never talked about since then. But oh well...

Now for my final exams in the classes at my home school. I'm really proud of my grade in US history. I made a B ^^ I was so worried about that class, I focused all of my energy into doing well in that class after I came close to failing it. So for two weeks before the exam I stayed after school (along with most of the other kids in my class and even some kids from another Honors US History class) for review sessions. My livescribe pen has saved my life in that class. Instead of hurrying to write down as many notes as I could (and missing a lot of what he was saying) I was able to just write down the key facts and then I could sit and listen to Mr. Walker talk. Then when I went home I would listen to what I had recorded. Anyways... Walker had cut us a deal, saying that if we stayed after school for all of the review sessions and we made up all of our missing work, then he would replace our class grade with our exam grade (unless our exam grade was lower then our class grade of course) So because of me staying for all of the review sessions (and I didn't have any work to make up) I got a B as my final grade as well! ^_^ I was so happy when I found this out. All of my hard work in that had really paid off. However... I didn't put near as much effort into my Math class...

I made a C on my math exam and my final grade was just barely a D... T^T argh... I know that I could have done so much better in that class if I would have just tried harder and done all of my work... But oh well... It's over now and there's nothing I can do about my grade in there... But because I did so horribly in Integrated Math 4, instead of taking Calculus next year like I had planned, they're making me chose between advanced functions or discrete math... *sigh* These classes are below Integrated Math 4... But I am hoping that maybe if I work really hard in which ever class I end up taking, and if I do really well in that class, they will switch me to Calculus or at least a more advanced math. Then again... I have taken all of the Maths that I need to graduate, the only reason I am going to be taking another math is because most colleges require a 4th year of math. So maybe it'll be nice to just have an easy math where I can make a good grade and relax.

OK, so the title of this post says New classes, so now I am finally going to get to that part.
Because my home school runs on the block schedule, we get new classes with the new semester (Thank god. I don't think I could have dealt with Honor US History AND Integrated Math 4 for much longer... My classes at the Career Center are easy, so I'm not worried about having to take them all year). So now my classes at my home school are Physics and Housing and Interior.

Physics has been going great so far. I loved the first week we had in that class, all we did is discuss all kinds of things from a scientific point of view, such as ghost, time travel, aliens, the way people view each other, and so on. I love having discussions like these because they're so interesting plus I'm actually learning something. Unfortunately, after that we got into actually doing physics work which... isn't bad... but it's not as fun as having those discussions. Physics has been really easy so far. Apparently the chapter that we just got through with was a really though part for most other students and we were one of his first class to get through it without any problems (I was kind of surprised about this cause in my opinion, this past chapter was really easy). My physics teacher, Mr. Roberts, says that his class just keeps getting harder, which I'm actually OK with because so far school has been running really smoothly for me (plus I have been getting all of my work done without any problems) and I love to have a challenge and right now, I really think I can handle it.

My next and last class of the day is now Housing and Interior which is a really easy class. It was kind of disappointing at first because the first thing our teacher told us was that this class is not an Interior design class (which is what I was told that it was). I was considering switching at first but then I decided to just stick with it because I will be learning some things that may be helpful to me later when I go to college for Interior design, plus it's kind of nice having a class that I can just relax in. I get most of my homework done in this class and then our teacher, Ms. Ervin, told us that she will never give us homework unless it is absolutely necessary.
Life is so much better now... ^_^
