Let's hear it!

This should be the hardest time I have in high school lol.

Your school schedule doesn't look any different than mine any of my years, save that you start an hour earlier and get out an hour earlier.  I didn't do sports my senior year because my knee won't allow me to without unreasonable amounts of pain, but I finished seasons all other years.

It's sort of a bummer that you have two hours of class that prepares you for a standardized test.  I'm not arguing that standardized tests are unnecessary, but I do not think that they should affect your schedule in such a way that roughly a quarter of your time each day is devoted to "learning for the test."

Waaaaaah. I have a 20 page research project due next Monday, and I'm slacking like a mo' fo'.

Haha, I took English composition last year and that was the requirement for the second semester (well, actually it was longer than 20 pages.  I don't remember exactly what the requirements were).  I just filled it up with graphs (not that they shouldn't have been there; they served a very good purpose) and stapled a bunch of c code to the back.  The teacher gave me a 100%, but I think that's because she'd never encountered someone interested in researching prime numbers before, heh.

Mine is using the library (or, since I'm a fucking badass, http://books.google.com) to research court cases/legislation from 1912-1954. I did about 5 pages in 3 hours. I don't have jack fucking shit to worry about.

[Sidoh]

Google is refreshingly awesome.

What a boring research subject, by the way.

[Newby]

Shit fuckingly simple though.

I am still not caught up on work from school from my trip. Tomorrow morning I am going to make up a history test on 5 chapters (roughly 150 pages) in a text book. I think it is only about 120 questions, but I will only have a 50 minute period to do it. Yay for AP classes. My scheduel is rediculous as of now too. School 7:15-12:20, SAT Prep course 1-1:45(math) 2-2:45(english) and then swim 3-5:30.

The AP test... gives you 55 minutes for 80 questions?  Is your teacher a douchebag on purpose or what?

You could say so. His class is boring. Everyone hates the class. Every day before that class I don't want to go in lol. Either way, we have boring lectures every day and most of the material he lectures on is not on the tests.

I called UPS about 30 minutes ago (645 am...bagh) & the girl said that they'd try to pull off my package so I can pick it up at the 'store.'

They're supposed to call me this morning, I really hope that they call soon.


I leave in ... 7ish hours!  yay

We don't even get curves in my history class.  It's ok, I own the shit out of life anyways.

After the "terrorist" attack on my school Tuesday, we had a Tornado Warning at fucking 6:45 am on Thursday (today, about an hour ago)!!  We had to all wake up and walk our asses down to the basement.  God, Tornados need to be a little more considerate and only happen when people are already awake.  Bastards.
