I woke up, called the school…was met with disappointment. You see, the ceremony was supposed to be held at my high school’s football stadium downtown. They claimed that it was going to pour rain and on top of that that the field had standing water.
My dad and I went to investigate this claim which we [...]
And I graduate high school! Totally insignificant to y’all, but uh… hey, that means I’m not bound by the sub-par American education system to do a damn thing, now!
Yes, I prefer doing things on my own terms. Hence the online classes.
I got every last drop of my coursework in several days ago. A couple hours [...]
Since I’ve gotten back from the convention, I’ve been trying to work on my last two classes that are required for graduation. However, my mind’s just been on so many things that I can’t seem to concentrate on the damn stuff for more than an hour in any eight.
That’s really bad.
I’m hoping that it’ll pass [...]
One of the pluses of taking the tech class I’m taking is if you score higher than an 86, the state pays for you to take the certification exam. I’ve maintained, through the year, a 97. Needless to say, I kinda expected it, but uh..
Earlier this evening, I received an email from my IT teacher [...]
Two days ago, I started having minor dizzy spells and seemingly arbitrary abdominal pain coupled with breast tenderness. I didn’t think much of it but a stomach bug or random cyclical occuring-ness [ew, i know, but still].
I had actually excused myself from lunch on Wednesday to go to the nurse’s office [at school, of course] [...]
After we were done working today in my IT class–we had a simple test, everyone finished pretty quickly, our topic of conversation scaled many realms and eventually dusted religion.
Well, more specifically, our own choices [and this was a pleasantly non-preachy conversation and flowed very nicely], and that of our families/their opinions of our own, and [...]
The Governor of Virginia declared that this week just passed would be State Classics week in which we are to observe the influence of Greco-Roman culture on today’s society.
As a Latin student [and recent winner of Summa Cum Laude With greatest praise on the National Latin Exam] I expected that there would be revelry planned [...]
I just realized that sounds kinda like pwnage. Totally unrelated, though.
We had to write and present persuasive speeches in my English class. I originally intended to do mine on stem cell research but was shot down when some other twit came along and claimed the topic before I had the chance.
So I did the legalities [...]
Or Standards of Learning, here in Virginia, are the typical standardized tests called for under No Child Left Behind. We had the testing prior to that abomination, but it was more of a trial-and-error before.
Tomorrow and Wednesday, juniors have their grammar and writing prompt tests at my school. My teacher, of course, decides not to [...]
I foresee this being a multi-post topic, so…yeah. If not, oh well.
Recently, in my favorite course ever [English], we were assigned another super-duper writing bit. This time? Persuasive essay/speech/what have you. I still haven’t officially mine, and I probably won’t until I actually have to present. ;x
On the first day of presentations, some kid goes [...]
