<p>Mine was too ( easier, I mean)
I’m glad your test went well</p>
<p>My day was OK. I had to do a Spanish project tonight, study for my humanities quiz tmr and do some of my humanities project. The work really is coming in.</p>

I know how it feels. I have very little HW tonight, although I think I’ll have a lot for the weekend</p>
<p>Interim reports going out tomorrow, I think. The grades were exported on 9/20, so I have two A-'s on the transcript instead of one at the moment. Here it is:
Algebra II H: 92 (should be 94)
AP Gov: 92
Chinese 2 H: 99
Bio H: 99
Lit H: 94
Engineering: 95</p>
<p>Also: How do I deal with this. There’s this one girl who is definitely going to be the val. Everyone knows how smart I am, but when it comes to grades, she probably has higher averages than me in every subject. A lot of Asians (including me) despise her b/c she is doing better than us (Asian pride sorta thing). I don’t know her exact averages, but it’s pretty damn safe to assume they’re all 98+. </p>
<p>^how the hell is this even possible. I heard that she’s a tryhard and studies for hours, but still. That’s ridiculous. How can I get those grades without being a tryhard?</p>
<p>What I’m trying to do, atleast for my AP class is basically “learn” what to expect from the class itself and study smart instead of studying hard. I went from spending atleast three hours on a few pages of notes minus distractions to atleast 45min to an hour. I had my first quiz today since trying my new methods and did pretty decent but ofcourse I need to make some changes here and there. After getting use to what the teacher expects and what the test and quizzes(?) are like, I know what I need to write down when taking notes, what I need to study, how I need to study and how I can get by without putting in hours and hours of work and effort. (Yes I’m lazy) For example, she usually doesn’t collect homework papers or questions or anything like that so I just make sure to atleast get it done so I’m not lost during class discussions. Also, a lot of the class discussions and class notes focus a good bit on main points from our reading so I make sure to take notice of stuff that was focused a lot on during class or that was atleast mentioned and take note of that in my reading notes. Lastly, the quizzes(?) focus on main ideas and key points to certain things so I know what kinds of notes to take and what to review…they’re also open notes so that helps too.</p>

I know right? I still have to finish my lab report & humanities project because they’re both due on Monday. On top of that I have to study for my math quiz next Tuesday as well and my research quiz on Monday. Crazyyyy</p>

Whoa… I didn’t know you we’re Asian. I’m African-American. Cool. Your grades are up there. I can relate to the thing about Valedictorian too. A boy in my class always has these long-specific and in-depth response to questions. Also, in humanities he answered every question for his team in jeopardy because he had literally read the chapters 5 times in a row. Fricken ridiculous. He’s a try hard in deed, but he’s just going really far for some illogical reason.</p>
<p>I love how people don’t really care about race on CC!
I live in a wealthy liberal town. There are a fair amount of Hispanics, but we don’t really interact all that much, mainly because of cultural differences. Other than that, my school is very white, although there’s not a lot of racism against blacks or Asians. Hispanics are a whole different story.
Personally, I wish there was more diversity. I honestly don’t care what race someone is.
I typed this on my phone, so sorry for any grammar issues.</p>
<p>I know right? I’m glad people don’t. My school isn’t so diverse. Like really. I’m mean, as an individual I’m multiracial, but consider myself more African American or whatever that’s supposed to mean.</p>
<p>I completely screwed up. See, I knew I had forgotten something at school… Construction paper for my project -_-… Any alternatives? I can’t really think if any as of now :/</p>
<p>As usual, i have an asston of homework this weekend. Like 3 worksheets of math, a bio packet, and AP gov textbook reading. </p>
<p>What classes do you guys like the most? For me it’s:</p>
<ol>
<li>Bio (class is interesting and we get to screw around with labs every Friday)</li>
<li>Chinese 2 H (we have a substitute teacher this whole month so we get to screw around every day. Plus the class is super easy. Only reason it’s not above Bio is cause it’s so boring. Also a good time to catch up on HW that I didn’t do)</li>
<li>Algebra II (the quizzes/tests suck but like Bio we get to screw around several times a week).</li>
<li>AP Gov - The class is hard but the teacher’s funny and the material’s actually kinda interesting.</li>
<li>Intro to Engineering. Oh my god I hate this class. All I do is sit there and play with the same circuits the whole period. I had no choice in taking this course.
6.Lit. The worst class ever. The teacher looks like she’s going to have a nervous breakdown, doesn’t even teach, seems like those people who were “overly protected” as children, etc etc. She pretends to be nice on the outside but gives a *****ton of homework every night. Hate her so much. She can’t even teach.</li>
</ol>
<p>Forget it, my S found some for me. My favorite class is Humanities. We aren’t doing much in Biochem so far, or at least anything biology related.</p>
<p>You have a son? </p>
<p>jk, I know you probably meant sister. FYI S means son on CC.</p>
<p>Hah^ </p>
<p>My favorite class is probably… Everything but science. My science class is SO boring!</p>
<p>Anyway, I got 98% on my first aphg unit test! :D</p>
<p>Sigh, Idc it was an abbreviation for something that was obviously perceived wrong.</p>
<p>Anyway, I finished all my projects and everything. I’m studying later for my research quiz tomorrow.</p>
<p>@Yakisoba, don’t worry it’s just freshman year, almost anyone who tries a little gets straight a’s. You’ll still have sophomore and junior year to beat her.</p>
<p>This is getting to be incredibly monotonous. The tautological speaking is redundant. Not to mention, this is high school. All if this work is the be expected so such an anomaly should be expected.</p>
<p>like i want to be val, but at the same time I don’t want to be a no-lifer tryhard.</p>
<p>Try hards do have lives. I’m not implying that I don’t but everyone lives for a purpose. Something along the same context was said by someone famous. I just forget who.</p>
<p>Tryhards live to try hard.</p>
<p>That isn’t logical. It doesn’t make sense from the perspective of saying that someone lives just to try hard. There has to be a reason. It’s like saying you just like eating for the hell of it. No, that doesn’t make sense. Something has to trigger such an action, thus giving a logical reason towards why they do what they do. You can’t just surmise these things as so you are now.</p>
