Update

Hi, so I just went to conferences and Mr. Carlisle said I need to post more.

Last week was homecoming week and this week was only a three day school week! So on my first day off I watched Harry Potter and finished rereading the Hunger Games series. I figure homework can wait for a bit.

At conferences all my teachers said good things about me, except I need to talk more. I found out I got a 94% on my math test that was on Wednesday! This is exciting because I usually suck at math tests.

Oh! Speaking of tests, Mr. Caro (my psych teacher) finally got our tests graded after a long long time. I got an 80%, but he let us talk to him about what we would fix and gave us extra points if we did. So he raised my test grade to an 88%. That was helpful, but I think he only did it because it was the first test, so that means I have to do well the first time on the next test which is on Monday.

My IA for history is halfway done! We turned in the first two parts this and last week. I hope I did well, I think I did. I guess I'll see when I get my grade.

I lied, Mr. Carlisle, I guess I did have stuff to write about.

CAS

CAS is "creativity, action, service." It's this thing we have to do to get the diploma. Basically, we need to do 50 hours of creative things, 50 hours of sports, and 50 hours of volunteering. Then we have to write reflections and stuff about each activity we do. There's a whole bunch of other requirements and blah blah blah, but I don't really feel like explaining them now. I'll probably explain them in future blog posts.

I'm writing this because today I went to a meeting where the IB coordinator explained it all to us, I think I still have some questions, but I don't know exactly what they are. That sounds really stupid, but yeah...
