Im the loudest person ever. Theres a running joke at my school that my first day, no one had to be told I transferred because they could hear me before they saw me. Im into all kinds of different things, and in my school Im that one kid that you see going in and out of all the departments during lunch, and always in Guidance, hanging out with the staff. I get really distracted really fast, and Im usually juggling 5-6 things at once. Im also a chronic procrastinator, but its never come back to bite me because I work well under pressure. I cannot stand the IB program, and I tell anyone going into it about my experience.

I’m planning on contacting a local university to start a science project/ research next year. </p>
<p>So most people at school know me as the super short Asian chick I’m generally nice to everyone and so I don’t belong to a single " clique". I like reading, Tumblr, watching movies, music, azn dramas, learning ( lol), and art.</p>
<p>Purpledino: Is AP Bio a 1 period class at your school? Because at my school it take up two periods, back to back so you have to give up a class to take it. -.-</p>
<p>Its a full period, but I have to take Health/PE over the summer to make room for it.</p>
<p>I’m still confused a bit. >.<
- How many periods does it take up?
For instance. If I took it my schedule would look something like this:
Period 1 : Class
Period 2: Class
Period 3: AP Bio
Period 4: AP Bio
Period 5: Class
Period 6: Lunch
Period 7: Class
Period 8: Class
Is that what yours would be too?</p>

<p>I like talking and writing a lot, but I’ve been on a writer’s block for a while. I would consider myself a workaholic, and last year my classmates called me an “overachiever”. Now, I’m called a “tryhard” haha.</p>
<p>I’m 5 feet and 6 inches, 14 years old, but happily turning 15 tomorrow(:</p>
<p>I think that’s all… For now anyways xD</p>
<p>Wait-- my username is collegefountain because I’m obsessed with going to college, and I have a friend who always calls me “college fountain” because I share with her as much as I know about college, lol.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m done xD sorry for talking a lot haha.</p>
<p>the asians hate me at my school </p>
<p>. . . their parents hate me too.</p>
<p>this isn’t speculation either . . . they’ve voiced their opinions about “the black girl who’s ranked above their oh so academic children”</p>
<p>o__0 . . .psshhhh.</p>
<p>I’m from Canada and I like Reeses Pieces :D</p>
