Free Post: my school somewhat survival guide.

   A lot going on is an understatement. Yes, I'm an overachiever, I want to be successful in everything I do. No, I do not want to choke under all the work I've been given. There are four things in my life that I don't want to get behind on. The first is AP world History. If you get behind in that class, you have to work your behind off to catch up. You also have to keep track of every assignment and pace yourself or you no longer have a weekend, like me. The second is Honors Bio. Honors Biology isn't as bad, but when you get an assignment, you better do it, because the class doesn't have that many assignments and each one is critical to achieving a good grade. He also assigns things at the worst possible time. Third, Band is the most time-consuming enrichment I've ever done. Once, I finish my credits for enrichment, I'm out of that class. I seriously can't imagine another three semesters of Band. Just, no. Fourth, English is the single most hard class to catch up on. Dr. D is great at pacing, so when she says do something, do it on that day.
   The other classes are jokes according to assignments, Foreign Language is mostly memorization, so if you got the vocabulary, you get five minutes to do homework each night. Math is a different story though. Math assignments add up. Mrs. Sabotke has plenty of assignments unlike Science. So, you can miss one or two, but if you start missing three or four, you start getting in trouble. Another thing is that, you have to try hard on the homework. Math practice is crucial to learning the subject, with her sporadic daily quizzes, homework is the only time you can ask questions about the lesson "learned," even if you don't pay attention in class, there are plenty of ways you can teach yourself.
   The worst day of the week is wednesday. Thursday just sounds good to teachers, they like to say that word a lot for some reason. Maybe so they can grade on Friday and over the weekend, I don't know. But, don't ever schedule anything on wednesday night. That's homework night!
