High School

[Aki Ko]

The face when you remember the multiple times that you played dodgeball in middle school and a ball narrowly misses you:

The face when you remember playing some game in gym and you actually did something good because you're a weenie

^ Funny, but I didn't intend to start a reaction image chain...

On a side note, a little while back I found out my county started karting teams for the high schools. Of course... after I graduated that is...

This is so much win, why can't my school have this? I'd gladly trade computers for this...

3 weeks from being a second semester senior. Just have to finish out finals.

Did you fall prey to "senioritis," or whatever they call being lazy in your senior year?

I believe that the clinical term is "being a teenager".

Well, there's "being a teenager" while still having years of school to deal with

and there's "being a teenager" because you're close to finishing school.

Both can mean the same thing, but for different reasons.

This man speaks the truth

I've been having the "senioritis" feeling ever since I was a sophomore, but it has been progressively getting worse. Once you get accepted into a college or figure out what you're doing after school it gets incredibly hard to find the motivation to work hard.

On the other hand, somehow, with less effort than all the other years combined, I'm doing much better overall in school. It's funny how not stressing about anything can help you improve.

I have begun a 3 week swim unit for gym class, kinda bittersweet for me as I like a challenge but I can't swim.....at all.
I have an interesting English assignment in which I have to write a story using only song titles. And a lot of people complimented me on my new haircut (High top fade).
The only bad part about the day was that it was extremely cold and I got locked out of my house 🤬

Similar situation here, despite this being my first year of AP courses (with 5), my grades are better than ever . Well excluding Calculus, eeking out a C there for obvious reasons

Been a while since I've posted here.. Lol

My classes this year are slightly easier than last year, but still fairly difficult. I'm taking AP Stats and Honors Physics, along with the other required material. I don't have the work ethic to take more than 2 AP/Honors at once, as I learned last year.

The way I end up doing it is do the Biology in class, do what little English I don't finish in History, do as much Calc as I can bear before quitting, do all of my AP Comp Science stuff in class (I'm actually pretty decent at coding), and mop up whats left in my History class and read the book for that class the day before the test (which are essays that must be done in class on one day )because he just lectures from it anyways It's a better system than it sounds, and usually I get 90% of it done in the class anyhow. Excluding essays of course; those I just think about the topic and wait until the last minute to do any actual writing.

That's generally how I tried to keep up with the work, knocking it out whenever I had time in other classes. I was always faced with more homework than I could finish in that time, so I often had a lot of work to do at home.

Its always 🤬 Calculus for me. I really don't like that class.

I felt the same way about Pre-calculus. It was just so much work that I didn't understand, and the teacher I had wasn't a very big help to me.

So, I've got homecoming this weekend!

You're going to be very cold just to dress nice then.

 

[Techy]

For my sophomore year I was forced to take Chemistry because apparently the school ran out of slots for other Science classes in the program I'm in. And the teacher teaching it was not good at all. Her personality wasn't bad - it was how she taught. Nearly failed the exam but I shockingly passed.

My date is basically the prettiest girl in my school! I'm a sophomore and she's a Junior.

I'm to much of a dork to get the prettiest girl, or a girl at all But I'm friends with a few very pretty girls, and thats close enough for me at the moment. The way I see it, there isn't much point in intimate relationships at the current time, as we'll all be off to college soon, and scattered throughout the country.

I feel ya, and no one is too dorky to get a girl! Just be yourself, the real hard part is what to do after she starts to like you. It gets complicated.

I just can't tell if/when they want/would want to upgrade the relationship. I think that's my biggest problem.

I have never read a decent essay that was written at the last minute. Most of my students will go through at least three drafts before they submit their final work.

Yeah, we usually plan our classes so that you're usually occupied for the full lesson. If you're in my English class for an hour and twenty minutes, you can expect to be doing English for an hour and twenty minutes.

Sounds like you lived in my next semester before I managed to. I'm gonna be forced to take Chemistry in two weeks because the school doesn't have any other science class (small schools suck sometimes). I've heard horror stories about the teacher; she isn't bad as a person, but her teaching method and assignments are from being a professor in college... so it's not very good one-to-one wise. Some people aren't passing and the exam might kill them.

The joys of standardized public education.

 

[jacnob]

You see, I essentially mentally write the essay once or twice before I actually write it, and revise and perfect it when I put it to paper. Its not a perfect method of course, nothing is, but it gets me by fairly well. I could have worded that better in my initial post.

I used to have that problem, what you have to is hint at it first, but then you gotta expect them to like you. When it comes to girls you gotta be cocky, but don't show it, just know that they're going to like you, and if they don't it's their problem.

Thanks for the advice 👍 Got any more? I need all the social help I can get.

I know this sounds wrong, but think that you are better than every other guy at your school. Also, just be yourself, and don't act to desperate. Also girls like guys that are nice, so be the gentleman.
