i am so pissed off i swear i'm gonna turn emo soon

CHEMISTRY

i just can't do this class. the way my teacher teaches...it's like if you don't immidiately get it you're left behind with the stupid kids. she spends one day on each topic and whatever we do that day is never spoken of again until the test. she teaches lessons the day before tests, and the notes she gives are useless since every example she gives us is 4x easier than the homework questions; which would come to be expected except for the fact that she doesn't take anything up the next day.

she told me her method of teaching works for the course because there's so much to cover you have to come to her for a lot of extra help if you want to do well; but it makes no sense in practice because she is only availiable for 20 minutes a day after school.

plus it's a friggin hard class! i study so hard and i do all the questions and nothing ever pays off i'm getting like 62 in that class it's so frustrating. plus it's impossible to go to her for after school help because she smells like ass.

MATH

my teacher has no idea how to write tests. every word problem on there is something you've never seen before and every other question is a slight twist of everything you practiced so there's always one little detail that if you don't change you're screwed for the whole question.

Why is IB so hard?

To be honest, I prefer it hard, than to easy. Gives my mind a challenge, and not a boring breeze.

Grade 12 was not that hard (at least for me) You just got to do your homework and practice. Just by following those rules, I got through grade 12 with an 89% average.

Being a senior in high school is a cake walk compared to a Freshman in college. Wait and whine next year.

You are expected to study every night. That is why you fail.

I'm in 11th grade IB. This is the first week of the second quarter, so there is a lull in the work. Thank God! Time to play some Zelda: PH! Just try hard and get together with friends to study. I have straight As, but I know that when you get together with others to study, you can get a new outlook on a problem because everyone approachs the same work differently.

depends on what kind of person you are

me myself am only in 10th grade but i can sorta see my future in my senior year

my brother who is a freshman in college this year he partied and u know hung out with his friends all year and is pritty much doing the same thing in college(and still maintains over a 3.0 gpa)

every1 at my school loved my brother and everyone allways nags on me for not living up to his rep but yeah i got friends and i make new ones and am not woried about my senior year as far as socialy

but as far as academicly u take prolly ur hardest classes so far and u worry about college while u ask urself y do i need to try wen i know im gunna graduate and allready have applied for college and got in.

or if that didnt happen to u, u have alot of pressure on u. if i dont maintain a D average i cant graduate and if i dont get over a 18 on my ACT no college is gunna take me anyways.

Oh i bet. As midterms are happening now (i have one in 2 hours, Anthropology), i'm learning how to prepare for these exams. Definitely a step up from Grade 12.

Damn dude senior year was cake, I didn't study or do any homework at home the whole year, it was a joke. Life will never be easy as that. It was a walk in the park, a can of corn, easy as 1-2-3.
