This week has been very busy...
Hello -
I'm sorry that I haven't updated since Monday. This week has been very hectic because I had actual homework. I guess I will just start where I left off and see if I can remember everything.
Monday evening, I went to CCD. I am one of four upperclassmen (3 juniors, 1 senior). Ironically, all of us juniors are on the same bus!
In History Tuesday morning we took notes. Then we were put into groups to do a map/culture activity for the early Americas. My group had the Incan culture. In Web Development we did an activity on good websites/bad websites. In Spanish that day we got our books and reviewed for our quiz that we had yesterday. In Algebra II we did notes/an activity on scatter plots and line of best fit.
In Physics on Wednesday we did a review of what we had learned last class. We then started on an activity using a computer program called Graphical Analysis. In Learning Seminar that day we watched an SGA video (basically introducing our officers and talking about SGA events). In English we did a walk-about (write whatever we think of under a category in 1 min.) and then read from a book and took notes. In choir that day we warmed up and then it took the rest of the class period to do uniform fittings for us 15 girls. After school I had an orthodontist appointment. They put on two more brackets. One of them irritated my mouth so has been driving me crazy. I also was started on triangles (rubber bands attached to the brackets in the shape of a triangle). Wednesday afternoon they were driving me berserk.
Yesterday in History we did our presentations and then took notes. In Web Development we learned the basics to HTML and did a little practice using HTML Kit (a computer program). In Spanish we did some final review for our quiz and then took our quiz. I thought it wasn't a piece of cake, but on the other hand it wasn't too tough. In Algebra we got back our summer packet tests and a graded review (both of which I failed) so I now have an F in Algebra on the second week of school. Part of that is because my teacher took off 1 point (all of the question) for not writing intercepts as a point (I wrote them as x-int= or y-int=). It makes more sense to me to not write it as a point because it is common knowledge that if something intercepts a line, the opposite variable is O. I came home and my mom proceeded to take up over half of my homework time trying to go over what I didn't know with me, instead of just letting my dad (math major-knows what he is doing) help me. I only got my Spanish homework done. When my dad got home and had dinner, he said he was going to go over factoring with me. I told him I had to take a shower. When I was done, it was 8pm, an hour before I go to bed on school nights. My dad then proceeded to take 55 minutes of the 60 to go over factoring. I was really annoyed because a lot of the stuff he said I already knew.
This morning I got up at the regular time for school to catch my bus, and then went to the library. There I worked on my independent reading assignment for English (I have to read and then write a response). This morning in Physics we reviewed and then finished our Graphical Analysis activity. Today during both learning seminars we had a class meeting. In English we had a summer reading short answer test, which I barely got finished in the time allotted (the class period). In choir we got a new piece of music and then worked on it and our other two pieces. This afternoon I had a History Club officer's meeting and then I went home. I was able to get most of my homework done, but I still have a good bit of Algebra homework left to do.
Tomorrow I have Tag Day and my SAT prep class. I then get to go home and spend the rest of the afternoon on Algebra. Woo-hoo! (not).
