I can't wait until the 11th grade when I can take webdesign and graphics!

I took graphics my sophomore and junior year, the two classes were great. even more so junior year cuz it was the advanced class, and they pretty much let us be on our own and decide whatever we wanted to do.

I take physics,history,french,math,english,gym,family and consumer sciences,and english. I have to take gym until my junior year because we don't have enough space and teachers and well...it's a massachusetts budget cut thing...anyways...I have to take 2 years of gym,2 years of sciences, 3 years of history, 3 years of math,4 years of english,1 year of buisness, 1 year of music/family and consumer sciences/art,and a language is pretty much optional in the 10-12 grade...you had to take it in the 7-9th grade if you didn't have a learning disability....soooooooooo what I did was I took family and consumer sciences this year to get that out of the way and I signed up for buisness for next year so when I get into the 11th and 12th grade I can chose 2 electives of my choice...soooooo since I'm behind in math I'm going to take an extra math course in the 11th grade so I can be caught up to honors level math...and I'm going to take graphic designs and all the rest of my academics...and in the 12th grade I'll take all of my academics and then pick up another language or just have 2 electives which I'm not sure what I want to take yet...just not singing or cooking again...ew. so that is my school life in a nutshell...:S

e is Euler's constant which is equal to approximately 2.71. ð is the letter edh which used to be in the English alphabet and was in many Saxon tongues. Today, it is most widely used in Icelandic.

It's a wiseass spoof of Sesame Street. No little kid is gonna be dealing with math that would involve using e or reading/studying ancient Germanic languages.

Yeah about the Drama thing it can be revealing. During our monologue auditions that our teacher usually has us write ourselves, they usually say something about the person that you didn't know or something. Like I just did my audition yesterday, but I did a "universal topic" as my teacher put it about being scared to drive in my town with crazy drivers & taking my permit test. It went actually really well.

So Drama can be a good thing. But it can also be really stressful at times! Esp. during finals- our teacher is psycho during finals, omg. lol

Well, C, we don't have to take all those religion classes...and most don't take all those honor classes...I'd die!...but if it makes you feel any better I took Honors Geometry and made a C and I am still taking Algebra 2 honors...

why not take all honors classes? They have so much higher GPA points...I love it...I figure whatever class I'm in I'm probably going to get the same grade whether it is honors or not so why not go with the honors class and get a good gpa? I wish I didn't mess up in math a few years ago so I could be in honors math and then I would have all honors courses...butttt I will fix that in the 11th grade..yep....

I don't believe I get the same grades in Honors as I would Regualr . . .and I only get .25 better GPA wise (B+ regualr is 3.5, it's 3.75 honors)
