I put yes, but i alwyas have confidence in myself when I take test/quizzes/exams/finals because thats how I do better on them.

If you believe in yourself, you can get a good grade, i know its weird and I don't say it aloud, but if I'm stuck on something I repeat this in my mind, "I believe in you, you can do this."

and I do get a good grade.

So.. our fitness walking final was freakin hilarious, yes hilarious. oh my gosh, lol I KNOW I got an A on that. (no more cute P.E. teacher though  :cry: ). Then I had my Mixed Chorus final, that was interesting/kinda fun. I played Delta Goodrems "Innocent Eyes" for them, they love her. lol I got an A on the sight reading/singing (do, re, me, fa, sol etc.) i'm not sure about the written part, but I have a 100% in that class, so that rocks. Then good ol' algebra, blah lol I get to see what my final grade for that class is tomorrow morning before school *crosses fingers I did well*

ahh i'm SO scared for my Drama final tomorrow! We had rehearsal after school today and our teacher was going insane on us! lol but it wen't pretty good. We only had one person missing this time! Yay for us, haha

congrats laura!!! I'm sure you did better in your chorus and your gym class then I could ever do. Luckily here we don't have to take midyears or finals in our electives.


So today was that freaking english exam...so hard. Half way through the exam I'm sitting there doing my 5 paragraph essay and he comes around and hits my head...lol it's very effective...and says Shelly I know you can write more....don't be a slacker!! write more!! So I write and write and that freaking essay takes me like a half an hour...so I'm writing and he comes over again looks on the back of my paper and then hits my head again...he doesn't like when you write on the back of paper...ahh he is a tree waster  :roll:....What are you doing Shelly? I hate things written on the back! so I say sorry and he is like it's ok...I need to go breathe....and then reminds the class that Billy's ass is acrad(sp). I wrote on my essay how Juliet Capulet and Lucie Manette were alike. I think I did a good job on that essay too. It was filled with lots of detail after getting my head hit twice...crazy school I go to. The short story was about a guy who had 2 dogs and he was like a sledder and he ate one of the dogs. It was stupid. Made me want to cry.....vocab was good....grammar was ok. I think I did ok but not terrific. I'll see tomorrow morning when I go in for my physics one..but I'm thinking about A- ish B+

my school had finals the whole week before Christmas break. and during that week we took one final each day and got out of school at 10:30 a.m. so i didn't mind finals too much.

i got a 99% in world history
85% in math (i haaaate math)
92% in french
95% in biology
100% in jazz band
90% in symphonic band
95% in english

so i'd say i did pretty well. at the end of the year we have another final over everything we've learned that year. i'm more worried about that one. not sure i can remember all that stuff.... :roll:

I took some of my AP Spanish final today...oh my god it was so easy!!!

Its an actual AP exam from 1987! first we did the Ensayo (essay) and then we did the cassette, which was a little difficult because on the last picture I forgot what to say and almost ran out of time, but I'm sure I got an A.

i just finished my midterms yesterday. yay for having gpa/ class rank frozen now! ;-) i hated exams all through high school until this year, when i hardly studied for them.. they don't count for much at my school anyway.

though, i kind of enjoyed spanish exams.. they are like a puzzle!

aww... you think? did you get the grade or are you just guessing? cause if it helps, i thought I failed too, lol. I guessed on ALOT of those questions, so I guess I'm just lucky.

I ended up guessing on a lot too. I'll probably get the exam back wednesday or maybe he will post the results on his door. I don't know.

There was like 50 multiple choice which wasn't that hard. I knew most of them but there was like 10 that I totally guessed on. Then there was stuff like find the acceleration of a ball with a velocity of 10 and stuff and like magnitude and stuff. Then there was this one question that was like find the vertical amont of an escalator in a 45 degree angle with a horizontal of 3 kg. We wouldn't use calculators on that problem only a protractor. I thik I got it right but it took me like 20 minutes. Then there was a line graph which was really easy. So I don't think I failed I think I got like a Cish.
