Psychology IA

Can you say "stress"?! Because this project has it written all over it. First of all, it's a group project. I don't like group projects. I like working with my friends and blah blah, but I like to be in charge, and my friend, who also likes to be in charge, is in my group. Great. We chose our groups, so I guess it's up to me, but he's smart, so it's worth it I guess.

I registered for college credit for history and psych! Does this mean I'm a college student now? Hmmm. Probably not. Oh well, I won't have to take the classes in college now though.

...I just looked on the website that has my grades. How did I get a C on my bio test? I still have an 89.something in the class though, but still... What? I even studied for that test!

I'm in shock... Bye.

End of First Quarter!

The end of the quarter means I get grades that go on my permanent record! WOOOOO. Just kidding, I'm actually not that excited. Only two of my classes have grades that go on my permanent record this quarter: French and psych. I got a 100% in French! But I got a B in psych, which is okay, I guess. I kind of accepted it a while back after taking the second test. My teacher says this next quarter will have a lot more points, so I might be able to get an A.

All my grades are A's now, except history (I have a high B), but hey, pobody's nerfect. (Hehe Office joke.)

I took my second bio test today, I only forgot one thing that was on the test and it made me feel really stupid. Hopefully I'll get an A, but I think I'll get a high B at least.

Wow, I'm a little out of it now. How will I ever survive this brutal five day week? On the plus side, we get a whole week off for Thanksgiving this year! That means I probably won't post for a while.

I have no more homework tonight! Yes!

National College Fair.

So I went to the national college fair with my boyfriend today. There were a lot of colleges there, it was a bit overwhelming. I noticed that a lot of the state schools are very similar, so that pretty much narrowed my choices down to west coast schools. Which is okay as long as they're not too close to home. When I got home, I looked at the brochures I collected (All of the brochures are such a waste of paper!) and I narrowed my choices down to OSU, UO, and UW. I'm not worried about not being accepted, I'm just worried about not being able to choose! I'm glad I've started searching early so it gives me more time to find my number one choice.

If there are any typos it's because I'm writing this from my iPod, sorry!

Oops...

So, I got my second IB psych test back and.... I got a C. It's a high C, but still. The quarter ends next Wednesday and now I'm pretty much guaranteed a B out of psych, even with the 5 point curve we get on the test which will raise my test grade to an 82% ish. So that's something I'm not very happy about.

We took our third history test this week too. I know I missed 11 points at least, but on one question about the Virginia Plan I missed seven points I don't know if it is because my teacher said he gave us the wrong notes in the lecture and switched it with the New Jersey plan, so then I switched them but then my switching them I made it wrong? Does that even make sense? Well even if it doesn't, the point is I'm suck with a B on that test too. But the quarter grade isn't put on my permanent record, so I'm okay with my history grade for now.

 I feel so focused on grades even though the IB coordinator and some other teachers say they don't matter as much if you have the diploma. My dad said he wouldn't care either, but before conferences he was nagging me about having a B in history even though it's not permanent! Ugh. #highschoolerproblems (Did I really just use a bad meme hashtag on my blog? Oh no. I really am losing it. At least I still know the difference between losing and loosing.)

This post is very negative, so I'll share some good things! My french teacher has been feeding the TA and me her leftover Halloween candy, probably only so she doesn't eat it. which I'm perfectly okay with.

Well, I'm going to go on Tumblr and look at pictures of pretty dresses and cats now... Bye!
