Gosh.... exams are awful. hee hee. Well, when I was in high school, we were required to take biology, chemistry, and physics. I wasn't very good at most of them. I remember biology was taught by a stoner that made us hop over fences to get to a creek/ I took honors chemistry to boost up my GPA... that didn't get me a good grade. I swear we were taught backwards, where we pretty much learned the periodic table at the end, when the whole time we had to know it already. Lame. I remember there was this girl that got into Harvard that was in my class and I felt so much better than her when I won a scholarship award for my photogarphy project instead of her.  And then my physics teacher would grade hella hard and we'd have these contests... the points you got was determined by what you placed. I took two physics classes in college, both were completely lame. I don't think I'm going to have to know the velocity of a falling ball in my line of work. The teachers were horrible too. I took Wildlife Conservation instead of Biology and all I got from the class was that California Shaparal is essential, I think. I think it's a plant or something. lol. |

Too answer your questions i do a double science award so that means i have to do all the sciences. i really hate it. in the mocks i only got a C. oops  . the real science exam is on wednesday afternoon. my hour and a half of hell. I like the sound of australia probably because of the beautiful weather and the beaches look fantastic. i would love to learn to surf and scoba diver there, it looks like so much fun and a great way to keep fit.
the beaches are beautiful and the weather, except at the moment were i live there is a really bad draught (actually i think i might be all over aus but not sure) but its still great!
surfing and scuba diving are awesome fun, hahah yer i dont live near a beach (just the city) so i dont get to to them excet on hoilidays Well, my science exam consisted of a bunch of charts about owls, global warming, stars, and something else. It should have been easy, but it was the last section and I had a major headache. I haven't taken any of those sciences that you mentioned maddie, we dont study them till highscool. The only two things we studied this year was the formation of earth and astrology. Both sucked. But my teacher was cool. She has this huge big screen projector thing and she let us get on YouTube during class and we watched videos when we were done with the lesson. It was pretty sweet. *EDIT* OMG! Did you join Hidetherum? I love that place! I just went over and checked the site and there was a new person so I was gonna see who it was and it sounded alot like you. Cause you were both from Australia, like O/K and were named maddie. Lol, sorry if it's not you. I just got all excited and asked. Sorry.  hahah your teacher sounds awesome, youtube is blocked on all the school comps as well as every other website worth going to 
hahah yer i did join the HTR forum! that place is so confusing, there are so many rules, wats it mean by no shipping?
yer i used to be a member of heaps of forums but havent been on any of them in AGES so i thought i would find other ones lolI take Biology.... it sucks A LOT!! DNA and RNA is so freakin confusing! That's what our semester exams were on last semester. It was horrible. And our teacher talks so much so that when you actually get the test you only have like 15 minutes to do it! So I came prepared this time. Yeah, so they made us take all 7 exams today. Our exam in theater was the play. So I was much happio. But biology and math were the only tricky ones. Does anyone know how to find the ratio of an interior angle?
7 exams in one day?!? theatre is drama right? wat play did you have to act? we are doing commedia dell' arte, its like slapstick comedy and its really fun! errrr interior angle? no idea.... ^ i LOVE Bio! haha. I took an honors/AP (college credit course) last year and loved it! But then again, i'm weird- but my teacher made the class amazing, anyways yeah RNA vs. DNA is tricky at first but then we started going more in depth and yeah- anyways i loved my bio class! Now Chemistry however, is a completely different story... I HATE IT. Haha. Gosh.... exams are awful. hee hee. Well, when I was in high school, we were required to take biology, chemistry, and physics. I wasn't very good at most of them. I remember biology was taught by a stoner that made us hop over fences to get to a creek/ I took honors chemistry to boost up my GPA... that didn't get me a good grade. I swear we were taught backwards, where we pretty much learned the periodic table at the end, when the whole time we had to know it already. Lame.

wow! another person that had to take all three sciences, im pretty sure they encourage as NOT to do all three sciences as the world load is to hard. they even put two of them on th same subject line so that is you really really want to do all three you have to do one by coresponance. but then theres maths c too which is just as hard.... is a GPA the mark that you use to get into university? like an OP? and honours? im so lost in all this stuff lol. havard, cool! but wow you must be really good at photography! two physics? *shudder* 1 chem is enough for me.....
well i have to go , sorry about the long post (again) no i have to go and do my religion assignment that is due in tomorow...
cya guys

^ Well, I took those sciences during seperate years. What was even more stupid of me, was that I took Calculus, Statistics, AND physics at the same time during senior year. That was horrible, I don't know why I put myself through that during my last year in high school. I guess here in the States, they want us all to be well-rounded, despite hating the subjects. A GPA stands for grade point average, each grade you recieve from a class is a equivalent to a point, e.i. an A equals 4.0. Those of us that take honors/AP classes, it changes the system a bit, where an A actually equivilates to a 5.0. Basically, to get into a university, you need a really high overall high school GPA and SAT scores (the SAT is a standarized test). I took a lot of honors classes and ended up with a high GPA and a crappy SAT score, lol. I got into a university and I can say that I don't regret my major and I'm enjoying every up and down I experience... hee hee. At least it got me to Italy. It's basically the same amount it would take to attend Cal Poly, compared to studying in Italy, without the travel expenses. I miss photography, I don't get to do it in college. When I make money in a real job, I'm going to by myself a nice SLR manual camera. I used to develop and print my own negatives and photos... it was so much fun!

lol that science sounds fun!astrology? thats pretty cool? lol im taking it the 'something else' part of your exam is the one you had trouble with? so when do you guys start high school like at wat age? ive only got a year a half yet of school! hahah your teacher sounds awesome, youtube is blocked on all the school comps as well as every other website worth going to
hahah yer i did join the HTR forum! that place is so confusing, there are so many rules, wats it mean by no shipping?
yer i used to be a member of heaps of forums but havent been on any of them in AGES so i thought i would find other ones lol We start highscool at age 14 and then graduate when were 18ish. Astrology was fun during the first week and a half but then I was bored. Ya, the teachers at my school are cool. Lol one time my friend talked my homeroom teacher into going on YouTube and watching a Micheal Buble video (she's obbsessed with him) cause we were waiting for buses to go on a Feild trip and so she did. But then the prinicipal came in during the video and so she never got back on. It was pretty funny. The good thing about most of my teahers is that they are all so oblivious to everything! Esp. my history teacher. Hehe, my friends and I would sometimes cheat on her tests cause they were so hard. So we would just pass our test to whoever needed it and then they would copy the answers. I had her for two years and she never noticed, thank god. Yes, hidetherum can be confusing. That's why I don't post much. I think what they mean my no shipping is that you can't ship actors/actresses togehter, like O/K. So that kinda sucks. But I've got this place so it's all good lol. |

SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!!! Haha! I'm so extremely happy!! I actually made a 97 on my math exam and a 100 on my Biology one!! Hooplah!!*does happy dance* I don't have to get up at 6 o'clock every morning now!!! Wow I just let out a bunch of energy. I felt like dancing in the hallways today because it was the last day. But next year is gonna suck I have to take 2 math classes in one year: Triginometry and Pre Calculus. Yep.... it's gonna suck. But school's out. I'm happy.
The play we did this year was the Lady Pirates of Captain Bree. It was so fun. But there's always a person that gets on everybody's nerves and the person this year was the girl who had the lead role. Mucho suckio. We got over it though because she's a senior. Other than that it was great fun! I love comedies! Goodluck with your play! ^_^

No, you're not a fool. I probably would have thought the same thing, lol. That's so cool that you saw her live, the song is wondeful. It reminds me of Will and Elizabeth.
Keira does look taller! I hadn't noticed until you guys pointed it out.
Atonement's sad? I haven't finished it yet. I'm on part two where Robbie and Nettle and Mace are in the war and are trying to get to the canal (i think that's what they are going, i'm a bit confued). But it's so good so far. Although I'm not so sure I like Briony after what she did..

Atonement made me cry my eyes out as well! It's so wonderful. The entire 3rd part saddened me, but the last bit is what got me. I can't wait till it comes out. My sister is reading it right now. She's only on page 30 something though. I think she quit on me. She hasn't even gotten to the broken vase yet!

Omg, her green dress is to die for and you get one similar to it?!? I'm very jealous. hee hee. I wish I had a formal so I could have an excuse to wear a pretty dress. For all of you in high school, I just want to say that y'all should go all out on your proms and such... cuz later in life you'll regret it. lol. I loved dressing up for my proms.

All throughout middle school they would have semi formals for the 7th and 8th graders. But when I got up to the 7th and 8th grade they had a Hawaiian luau 2 years in a row! It angered me. We got to vote what we wanted, but semi formals wasn't on there. I voted for a masquerade. ^_^ That would've been fun. And Keira's green dress is beautiful! How are you changing the bottom of it?
The part you had to read a lot... I think I did the same thing. I want to say it, but I don't want to give it away for anybody. Was it like the second to the last page?

My teacher had a luau in 4th grade for us. It was fun. A Masquerade sounds really fun as well. I love that part in the Phantom of the Opera, it's my favorite song and one of my favorite scenes!
You guys are so lucky you get dances and formals and all that. My school really doesn't let us do anything like that at all. We had our only dance thing/party the night of graduation (it was great). It was so annoying because my friends and I would be talking to the other schools and they always talked about how awesome their mixers were and we just stood there all jealous and mad at our preist (who refuses to let us have mixers... I have no idea why.) It sucked.
Ok... ignore this post... it was just me ranting..
But that's awesome about you're dress Maddie! The greeen atonement dress is gorgeous!

And then my physics teacher would grade hella hard and we'd have these contests... the points you got was determined by what you placed. I took two physics classes in college, both were completely lame. I don't think I'm going to have to know the velocity of a falling ball in my line of work. The teachers were horrible too. I took Wildlife Conservation instead of Biology and all I got from the class was that California Shaparal is essential, I think. I think it's a plant or something. lol. 
. the real science exam is on wednesday afternoon. my hour and a half of hell.
hahah your teacher sounds awesome, youtube is blocked on all the school comps as well as every other website worth going to
