<p>I felt like opening this thread for fellow high schoolers to chat about school, grades, classes, and high school in general as a fun, laid-back, and beneficial thing. We could learn from each other, and also enjoy the conversations.</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore in high school (Class of 2017) but all high school grade levels are definitely welcome!!! </p>
<p>I'm not sure what we should start discussing.. there are so many options!! </p>
<p>Halloween’s the big football game at my school, and as part of the band I have to go, though I might not march since my foot is injured and not comfortable to stand on for long periods of time. But at least we get to wear Halloween costumes instead of our actual uniforms.</p>
<p>I wanted to make my sister a Jellybean Android costume (the Android logo for version Jellybean) but school got in the way.
Last year (or the year before that?) I made her a rubik’s cube costume. </p>
<p>I was a notebook (a paper one) one year. That was fun to make, but not fun to wear.</p>
<p>@Andr01d @ThatPurpleKoala @dsi411 @livelaugh7 Hey guys! I’m not doing much for Halloween actually. I’m probably gonna end up watching vampire diaries on Netflix. My closest friends are ALL in marching band and they have a football game that night… and my neighbor has to babysit her siblings at some gathering at her dad’s job or whatever. I’ll be a loner… and it kind of sucks because it’s a Halloween on a Friday FINALLY. </p>
<p>TVD is fun to watch, though. </p>
<p>What’s your guys’ favorite show, like on Netflix or TV? </p>
<p>I’m really happy because I found out that I killed the curve on my AP Calculus AB test. My teacher doesn’t do the university percentile stuff, but she takes the second highest score and bumps it to a one hundred. Well, I scored a 96 WITHOUT the curve, but I got 5 points of bonus, so my score is a 101 without the curve, and a 105 with the curve. But, the reason why I killed the curve is because the curve is only 4 points, where in the past it has been 10-15. I usually am the curver, so I guess they can thank me. But, since the class average was a 63%, the curve didn’t help ANYONE. xD I’m so happy. I love determining student’s grades.</p>
<p>My favorite TV show’s a tie between Sherlock and Doctor Who, with Supernatural, Cake Boss, and The Powerpuff Girls rounding out the top 5. And curve-breaking’s only nice if you’re the one breaking it @tacoperson123 </p>
<p>@tacoperson123 AWESOME!!! That’s so funny that you mention that though because I just took an AP Calculus AB test yesterday and apparently everyone failed it but I got a 97 The curve was still huge though, yet it only added like 3 points for me -__- Some people went from a 32 to a 75.</p>
<p>She called it the “square root curve”. Have you ever had that? </p>
<p>But omg that is really awesome.</p>
<p>I’m gonna take a wild guess… was your test on implicit differentiation and chain rule of trig?</p>
<p>@ThatPurpleKoala I have to go to my school’s football game as well! Homecoming game for us (although my school always loses–we won one football game this year, and our principal sent out an email to the entire school).</p>
<p>We get to dress up as well (I’m part of Colorguard), but I might just not wear my costume at all and wear my t-shirt and leggings. We’re not required to wear our uniforms to games; that would be really gross, and the band only plays in the stands, anyways. </p>
<p>I’m dressing up as the Ninth Doctor from Doctor Who–I even ordered a sonic screwdriver.</p>
<p>I watch far too much TV for life–NCIS, NCIS: LA, Person of Interest, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Agents of SHIELD, Once Upon a Time… I’m also catching up on Merlin.</p>
<p>By the way, you guys should all watch Person of Interest. No one I know my age watches it, but it’s literally the best show I’ve ever watched (it’s about artificial intelligence and spies and it’s just all great).</p>
<p>This week is homecoming week; the freshmen sabotaged some of the juniors’ decorations today, which means they’re probably going to get Behavior points off (not that they were going to win–the freshmen always do badly as a general thing; we were bad last year, they were bad the year before…) and they’re going to get bashed by the other classes for the next two years.</p>
<p>@tacoperson123 That is so funny OMG. So are you guys learning logarithm and natural log derivatives now? That’s what we just finished up and I have a quiz Monday on it. We recently took the derivatives of inverse trig functions quiz, too. </p>
<p>In our class, we get a star for every 100 on a quiz. We’ve had 15 quizzes so far, I have 14 stars hehehe. It sucks though because the one I didn’t get a 100 on I totally bombed !! I got a 50 on it because there was a code red in the middle of my quiz and she made me turn it in when I wasn’t done. (She’s kind of a mean teacher… lol) There was nothing I could do about it, though. We don’t tend to get support from administrators; they always take the teacher’s side obviously lol.</p>
<p>Implicit is really easy, though, yeah. I think people who struggle are just weak in algebra because that’s basically all it is. </p>
<p>Haha. Well, we are kind of starting them. We had to go over the math test from two days ago today. (derivative and chain rules.) Well, at the end we started on logarithm derivatives.</p>
<p>@topaz1116 I’ve heard a lot of good things about Person of Interest, but my homework’s barely getting done as it is, so…maybe over the summer I’ll watch it.</p>
