(no subject)

I've been feeling better today than the last several days. I just don't think I've been drinking enough water.

Plus I finaly told my dad that I'm close to failing two classes and actually failing the third. But since the clases that I'm failing I don't need to graduate, I don't even need the credit for them, I'm still going to gradute in the spring. Just in case I actually do end failing them. And since thier pre-calculus, physics, and Spanish, I'm not terribley surprised. Math and Spainish were my two worst subjects last year, and while I'm not hopeless in physics, I don't really care for it. I'm mostly taking the class so I can see if I can cut doing a chemistry major in collage. Which appears to be a no. I just think it's better to shoot my chances now instead of getting my hopes up and having a nervous brakedown later. I could be wrong though.

But the semester is still young, and I have two tests to fail miserabely take tomorrow.

They have a pre-calculus now? When I was in high school, they just tossed us into the deep end and watched us drown.

Not only do they have pre-calculus, it's mandatory. So if you want to take calculus, which I assuredly did not, you would have to had skipped a math class or taken geometry and algerbra II durring the same year.

On top of this, they have the business math class, investigative geometry, and pre-algrebra, so it's not like they make you take the really hard classes just to graduate.

The only bad thing about making Calculus so hard to get into is the fact until this year, it was the only AP class my school had. The rest were classes you took though a local collage, with all the iffy fun of not knowing if the dredit would transfer or not. This year they started a AP biology class, for seniors only natch, but since the school just decied to hold this class this spring, everyone had already planned out their year and fitting in a block class is hard to do.

Though it would have been better if I had dropped phyics and Spanish, now that I think of it. = )

That's how they do it with calc at Altoona, too; take 8th grade math in 7th grade, or take geometry block with algebra II as a sophmore. Though I did find out last year that all of the other area schools are a year ahead of us in math; ie, it's mostly juniors taking AP Calc, not seniors.

Physics with Vic is so easy. It's basically like 7th grade math all over again :\

What other foreign languages do you have there? 'Cuz now, without distance learning, all we've got is Spanish (we had Japanese and French [and sign language] with DL)

We have Spanish, German, French, and Japanese. Though most people end up in Spainish.

Yeah, I *just* missed the stupid cut off to skip that grade of math when I moved to Altoona, and I missed the cut off for the foregin laguage track when I moved to Jasper. Moving frells the hell out of everything. -_-0

Physics is way easier than I make it out to be, it's just blowing my mind at the momment. I do love the fact that the math is just simple arithmatic, and none of this sick, twisted Algrebra II nonsense.

I want to learn German :(

I've never had the pleasure to experience it, but I'd imagine so.

Yeah, algebra 2 was sick and twisted. precalc was, too, though.
