How I did it: Uhh, read the books.. duh.I thought Birth of an Empire was the best, mostly because of the depth of the characters. Bones of the Hills was least fave for the same reason, character depth. It felt like people started speaking with the same voice and we were shut out of Genghis's mind. I couldn't see any trace of Temujin. :'( Also, the only character who had a voice all their own died. Still a great book though! Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well, its not really something you ever finish, but I alphabetized it by author's last name so its about as finished as it can be. I have 350-some quotes (I guess, I haven't really wanted to count.) I also go through it every once in a while to delete the stuff I don't like anymore. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A+ I gave at a blood drive at my college. It took them forever to send me that bloody card (pun intended), but it was good to find out.They want me to put more text in here soooo.... rvvhrtrtesteafhgdte fdsdhfsjtryetsrread segsgffdhhgft fgfaetu7ycg yrjvjhjrks. There, happy now??? Read how I did it…
Practice went great yesterday. I got an 800 on the reading comprehension!! 750: English, 690: Math.
I also took the practice SAT subject test for Literature. 700 on that.. I’m dreading the SAT Math II test. I really feel ill prepared. I always make stupid little mistakes. I know the material, but I’m just not fast enough. :(
Very sad news. I had to quit to study for the SAT in Dec. Intellectually I know I’ll need the extra study time, but I’m not quite there emotionally yet. I miss the class, especially Debbie and Kim.
I’m going to take it again this spring. On the bright side I’ll have a head start. (sigh) I know I’m not quitting but it still feels like I am…
(Oh, I got an 85 on the last quiz, and if I’d read the directions on one of the problems correctly I would’ve gotten a 90… Man, this sucks)
Well, my first test bombed. However, thanks to extra credit work and some quizzes, I bumped it up to a low C.
On my last test I learned from my mistakes and got a B. If I had read the directions a little more carefully I would have gotten an A. (sigh)
The study session we did the day before was a lifesaver. I studied for a total of 8 hours that day. I was actually doing calculus in my dreams. o.O Our study group now meets every Monday after class which is definitely helping. A great lady in my class, Debbie, has been basically re-teaching us. Anyway, she totally cleared up the Mean Value Theorem for me.
(crosses fingers) Here’s hoping for an A!
