<p>I’m a straight A student in honors and AP classes, but now I have a low B in ECON!!! Not even honors!!! !@#@!#$@#$@#$@#!%^^%!#~#$^</p>
<p>And I got a C on an AP Bio test #@%^$!%</p>
<p>And I have to write essays for summer programs, yet I don’t know if I want to waste a summer instead of hanging with my friends one last time ^%&@#$~</p>
<p>I have always said I want to major in Astrophysics, but now I might just want to be a high school math teacher or something… Suck on that Mom and Dad!!! @#$!#$%#$@#</p>
<p>ok I may come back to this thread soon . It helps</p>
<p>I get woken up by my mom coming into my room and yelling at me for sleeping in on the weekend, when I’m averaging about 4 hours a night during the week. I have to resort to chugging Dr. Peppers, coffee, anything to get through the day without falling asleep. </p>
<p>AP Chem is !$^& on earth and some of the people in there are so full of themselves & hypocritical I can hardly stand to be in the same room as them.</p>
<p>I quit a sport I loved a year ago thanks to things I couldn’t control (major injuries). It made perfect sense at the time, but now I think I made the wrong choice, and I think I’m too far behind to catch back up. </p>
<p>And I’m having the worst #$!%&^* case of writer’s block ever.</p>
<p>@sunflowersummer: get more sleep if you can (aka sleep more during weekdays and don’t sleep in during weekends; the hours may just be a little more but the effect is definitely massive). I usually find myself much more efficient when I have enough sleep. You can move some long-term work to the to-do list on the weekend.</p>
<p>There’s this girl in my class and she’s pretty sure she’s gods gift to colleges. She only applied to two colleges: Vanderbilt and Cornell. Today in class, she said that there are 34 days until she gets her acceptance letters, as if there is no chance that she will be rejected from those top tier schools. And she lied about her community service hours on her applications! So if she gets in, it will be helped by her lying! But my one concilation is that I beat her out for 3rd rank in the class! HA! She is no longer 3rd in the class and she doesn’t even know it!</p>
<p>^^^ See I was on your side until you mentioned how happy you are about pushing her out of 3rd. Seriously who gives a ****!? Thing is neglecting safeties is OK as long as you have a damn good gap year plan.</p>
<p>I have been dedicated to my band program since I learned to play when I was 10 years old…I go to EVERYTHING! I made our state honors band 3 times for both concert band and jazz band, I’m our lead drum major, section leader, and I know my way around music theory…but last year, one of my beloved band directors retired, and one of the others has taken over the program…and now all of a sudden like 3 other people in my class, who were NEVER involved before, are kissing his ass and all of a sudden want to be band directors and I HATE KISSING ASS and I’m really brutally honest because I feel like a tool when I act all prissy and nice and so I feel like I’m not going to get the recognition I deserve because I’m not a perfect little sweetheart and it’s just terrible and I’m so mad!!! There is this other girl who is pretty much my foil and she’s cute and sweet and never says anything bad and is the leader of the flag squad (gag) and president of NHS etc. etc. and I’m in your face and crazy and loud and I love living life and I don’t know how much longer I can take going to a place where being a total and absolute conformist is rewarded and having a personality stigmatizes you and makes you a freak of some kind… I was on another rant (shocking) the other day and I stated that no matter how “prestigious” a club or organization is, there will always be those people that don’t quite meet the standards but kind of do and they’ll slip in and bring everyone down and there’s nothing we can do so we might as well enjoy the chaos and criticisms…and this girl actually had the nerve to mumble under her breath (cuz heaven forbid you say any opinions out loud these days) “not if I can help it…” It is seriously this girl’s mission to cram everything into neat and orderly little piles and control it all even though the whole world and all of it’s issues are gray and don’t fit any categories!</p>
<p>ap ush- my teacher is a really hard grader, one of those that takes off points for no reason
math- teacher sucks. everyday when we go over homework at the start of class, we catch 2-3 mistakes minimum every time
french- no complaints really, except the teacher was out sick for 4 days and the test was only bumped 2 days with no review time that we were supposed to get
ap enivo sci- none really
regular chem- teacher’s first time teaching chem (we had a teacher before her that went out pregnant)
ap english- teacher hates me and vice-versa. have a solid B that i fear won’t change :/</p>
<p>ap exams and sat1 are inching closer and closer with each passing second.</p>
<p>GAH. I hate my English teacher. She’s completely useless. She gives us sheets and reads through them for about half an hour when we could just take them away ourselves. And she wonders why we’re all on our laptops all lesson and don’t pay attention. I’m trying to cope by ignoring her and studying Milton’s Paradise Lost on my own in English while attending a help session after school. It’s run by my teacher last year, who’s a much more effective teacher and gets way more done once a week than I do in three regular English lessons per week.</p>
<p>Oh, one more thing about this English teacher- she’s my Extended Essay supervisor now, and it’s too late to change. We’re supposed to have our first meeting sometime this week. I could smash something. I really could.</p>
<p>I’ve applied to prestigious summer programs I don’t even want to attend, and in all honesty, will probably end up being accepted by at least one and attending it… I’d much rather relax.</p>
<p>My computer teacher just helps one side of the room… Actually i can understand why; throughout the period we just fool around and ******** the entire class. Somedays kids just wrestle or we just do nothing and copy from kids that give us the programs. The funny thing is that it’s an AP class, yet we act like animals. (This wasn’t really a rant) But i hate how his name is Mr. Bacon.</p>
<p>I cannot take high school anymore. NONE of the teachers at my school comprehend the fact that we have other classes besides theirs. I am second semester senior who just wants to relax now, but I can’t because my teachers just keep piling on the work. We tell them that we have five tests like almost every Friday and all they do is laugh. I am so done. I just want to go to prom and then graduate.</p>
<p>*** My dad has officially lost his job as his license for practicing law has been suspended… and my mom is still unemployed…I’m just worried about how were going to end up paying for my college tuition and other misc things…(I don’t even own a car like most other people my age…) Even before he lost his job…we havent been doing so great financially…but good enough to survive. It was really shocking…he was hiding this since Jan…and just told us now because he didnt want us to look down upon him. I respect him the way he is…just hope the future looks good for my whole family. Just needed to vent this…</p>
<p>You sound like a total tool. WOW, you HAVE to go to a “prestigious” summer program that other kids would love to go to. Why not let someone who actually wants to go take your place? </p>
<p>What a grave injustice. You might actually get accepted to something you applied to.</p>
<p>Ironic that you would be the one attacking someone for being a “tool”. And why not let someone else go? Because I acknowledge the fact that I should do something worthwhile in the summer before my senior year but at the same time I don’t ignore my innate desires to relax. Should I apologize for my wanting to relieve stress during “break” or should I apologize for being more qualified than other applicants if I am actually accepted?</p>
