<p>So my IB History Internal Assessment is due tomorrow.
And it's 1,500 to 2,000 words, which really isn't that long.
And I have 845 words—and that's including the title, section headings, and bibliography.
And I have to write an IB English commentary for tomorrow, as well.
And I haven't started it.
I hate my life right now.</p>
<p>I took a mental health day on Friday so now I have a ton of work to make up... but I just can't bring myself to do it. I almost resent being named valedictorian because now I have to keep my grades up 2nd semester, whereas if I hadn't gotten it all I'd have to do is maintain a 3.0 for the UCs.</p>
<p>yo tengo lo</p>
<p>Caution: bitter, whiny post ahead....</p>
<p>I missed four days of school last week because I was sick. My immune system is shot, I'm exhausted by 6 PM even if I've slept well the night before, and I generally feel like hell... so of course I have a ridiculous amount of work to make up and no one's cutting me any slack about deadlines. :( I'm going to end up getting sick again if it continues like this—oh, wait, I'll just stay sick for the rest of the year because I've no time to recover.</p>
<p>People,</p>
<p>we've been working our butts off in high school for the last 3 and 1/2 years.. i think we deserve a break! :) Otherwise we'd burn out at college.</p>
<p>Can't. Still need to pass the IB Diploma.</p>
<p>Agree with Stressd0ut</p>
<p>My best friend is killing herself right now in hope of becoming Val...I, on the other hand, accepted defeat second semsester Freshman year...and I couldn't be happier.</p>
<p>surfette,</p>
<p>we don't even have a Val at our school b/c there's 37 kids tied at top 1, i believe. </p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>^ Yeah, that's kind of how it is at my school... the top 2% are valedictorians. To have it be just one person is kind of ridiculous, in my opinion, especially since at a lot of competitive schools there's only a difference of like .00001 between the GPA of the number one and number two students</p>
<p>wow...9 something about time to start on hw lol...anyhow cheer for taiwanese mv/ost!!! =D</p>
<p>sooo much senioritis here. bleeergh. i dont want to go to school tomorrow- but i supposed i do have to show up at least half of the time :(</p>
<p>haha senioritis... i was 'sick' twice last week, conveniently right before a class i had forgotten I had homework in. speaking of homework, i've completely stopped doing it at home. the ladies in the attendance office know my name, though I attend a school of over 1,000 students... and i'm still considered a smart kid ;)</p>
<p>senioritis...we'd look for a cure, but we're too damn lazy</p>
<p>In response to Acere (post #75), my AP Lit teacher recently read our class a collection of rescinded admission letters from various schools that were for drops in senior final grades.</p>
<p>The one that stood out the most to me came from UPenn, and it was sent on the basis of the student receiving a single "D." It said something along the lines of "we are not impressed," "this is unacceptable," and "we hereby retract our decision of admittance unless you provide a letter to our office explaining any appropriate circumstances."</p>
<p>In short, that means a resounding "yes."</p>
<hr>
<p>"Junioritis: We'd look for a cure, but we've got enough crap to deal with." :D</p>
<p>Speaking of absences, I've already been absent 9 times this year... never been sick</p>
<p>yeah I've been absent like 10 times already this semester.</p>
<p>Ya me too. Including last semester and the beginning of this semester, I have been absent 13 days. Two of them were visiting college. The rest were just me being lazy. And the good thing is my mom shares my opinion, she is like "You've worked hard for 4 years, finally got accepted to college and now deserve to relax a little". Shame that schools dont think the same.</p>
<p>Senioritis is da bomb! :D</p>
<p>However.. I believe (thanks to nice curves in AP classes) that the worst my report can get is in the B+/B range..</p>
<p>8 page paper due tomorrow.. it is 8 pm and i have 2.5 pages. my throat hurts,maybe strep? or possibly the stomach flu. hmm possibilties</p>
<p>What's senioritis?</p>
<p>What ever it is.. I'm ready for college!</p>
