all!!! Thank the lord. LOL. I started a new semester in school, and guess what? My first week of second semester, I ended up going to ALL the wrong classes, every single day. They were switching me in and out of classes, which screwed up the attendence roster, but now everything is finally back on track. Speaking of school, I recently went, to a community college, to take a test to see if I qualify for their running start program. [Running start- high school prgram that allows students to recieve both college & high school credits.] The test standard was based off of college questions, so it was tough, but I passed it. YAY! Now I know that I can read/write at college level, LOL. But the thing is, selective colleges prefer high schoolers to stay in high school and take AP classes, because they're more rigorous & intense. So, I guess I'll be staying at my school :D

Other than school, I realized that I am EXTREMELY into the soft, beauftiful melody of a piano, & the soothing rythms of R&B. I don't know why, but that's all I've been listening to. I can't stand listening to anything else, ESPECIALLY rap. Ewww. No offense to those who like/love this genre. I'm just not into TODAY's rap, because the lyrics are so vulgar and, in one way or another, it's bigotry. But that's just my opinion.

The weather is sunny and blue sky. It starts my day off with a smile :] It's so beautiful outside, though the temperature is a bit cool. It's weird because it's freezing on east coast & down south, but the west is really enjoying this. Or at least, I sure am.

Okay, I'm out for now :D
Talk to you all later ^_^
Have a wonderful day(s)]]> http://www.mycoconut.com/Jaypanda2094/blog/life-as-it-comes/ Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:18:41 +0000 Jane http://www.mycoconut.com/Jaypanda2094/blog/mid-term-blues/
I'm sure you've all had that one class-- or classes-- where you're at the end of the term and you have some MAJOR cramming to do. It’s not that easy, because you’ve already jammed an entire semester worth of that class into your brain. Heck, I’ve only been in high school for one and a half years, but if there is one thing I will never get used to, it is semester finals, Aka Mid-term.
Let us say that you’re a slow learner or maybe you just have awful memory—like me—your finals are in less than one week, but you’ve only managed to review the first of many chapters. It is tough to be able to keep track of school, club activities, sports, and family/friend time all in one day, oh yeah AND study. To be honest with, I think it’s impossible to do all these things in one day, but If you’re going to try…GOOD LUCK. I’m not exactly that enthusiastic, or ecstatic, about cramming five to six hours a day for finals, but I don’t have much choice. If there is one thing that I have learned in my first 15 years, it’s that if you want to succeed in the future, you have to start with the present. But STILL, teachers should really try to calm down on the crazy piling up of homework and tests all at once. I mean COME ON. We have lives outside of school…right? Eh… oh well, I refuse to fail. Wow, I feel like this is just a complain session for me. Sorry guys, I have to let it all out You know, a HUGE disadvantage about moving to different high schools is that schools have different requirements. For example, history at my current school was required freshman year. But at my old high school history didn’t start until sophomore year—SAY WHAT!? So it means that I’m behind two semesters of history. When my teacher, here, talks about things they learned last year I always think to myself, what’s the point of telling me this when I have no idea what you’re talking about? Hmm… my point is that teachers shouldn’t be allowed to put last year’s stuff into this year’s tests.
I know you’ve all had to deal with what I call the mid-term blues. You’re lazy, tired, aggravated, and awfully sick of school. Your test is the following morning and all you’ve studied is a quarter of the required material. That’s why you have to buckle down before hand. I’m doing my best to pass my classes, if you’re a student like me; I suggest you try just as hard! Good luck everyone :D

Sorry for the non-sense of this blog. I hope you enjoyed reading my little “complaint” letter folks.]]> http://www.mycoconut.com/Jaypanda2094/blog/mid-term-blues/ Sun, 24 Jan 2010 09:17:30 +0000 Jane
