Being an upperclassman now feels kind of nice, yeh?
Concert band is a great deal more productive this year; because of the new teacher we do exponentially more stuff in one day than one week with the old one (he retired).
AP biology is kind of a bore, unfortunately. Well, we did do a lab in which snails were played with and that was fun, but the class itself is pretty “meh”.
I have both English and U.S. History with this new teacher and my god is she inconsiderate of our time at home. #1: She assigns similar assignments for both classes, which if you read the class names, doesn’t make sense. #2: She assigns annoying amounts of homework, which hog lots of time. In both classes I’ve been assigned an independent reading assignment as well as several essays. The English 3 honors class hasn’t done ANYTHING. #3: She doesn’t teach much of either subject. In English we’re reading about immigrants and in history we read about Tupac. #4: She’s pretty cool otherwise.
ROP digital photography has been a blast. We’ve had two photo shoot days already, with pretty decent cameras, two of which are the Lumix FZ-30 and FZ-50. I’ll be acquiring an FZ-50 shortly ($200 off baby).
AP computer science is a little iffy. The teacher is kind of strange, in both good and bad ways… Eric said he doesn’t teach anything that’s on the AP test (oh crap). But… I hope it gets better. This was the class I was looking forward to most aside from photography.
Pre-calc just sucks, as a class. I hate it. On a different note, we got the results of our first quiz/test back today, and if I remember correctly: 5 A’s 8 B’s 5? C’s 7 D’s and 10 F’s. 10 F’S! Luckily I was one of those “A” people. >_> What’s even more amazing is that none of the stuff on that test was actually pre-calculus. All of it was review from algebra II. Interesting, eh?
I’ve also gotten an SAT book.
Learnin’ vocab tiems?
