<p>My school would go like this:

<p>So, this year, I had double bio on grey days, and seminar before a single bio period on red days.</p>

<p>@narinra- Congrats on getting into ASB 
</p>
<p>On a side note, does anyone know of some intellectually challenging but truly interesting books? I’m not much of a reader but I want to challenge myself.</p>
<p>@bemore19 </p>
<p>War and Peace is an intellectual book because you have to adapt to different perspectives while reading. You have to adapt to the thinking of the different people and how it would benefit them and not the others. It is a very great read for people such as yourself who would want an interesting book. It is not so much of a challenging book as it is a long book.</p>
<p>@yerhs52</p>
<p>I’m so ready to just go ahead and apply >.< </p>
<p>Lol maybe ill get to meet you o__0</p>
