How I did it
It made me
Cultured. 
How I did it: First of all, you have to find a song. One that's catchy, because the catchiness will help you. Plus, if it's catchy, you can lure your friends into liking it too. After finding a good song in whatever language you choose (unless it's Latin), translate it! You don't want to go around singing some foul language in a foreign language (unless you want to sing Je Veux Te Voir by Yelle). Take it verse by verse. I started with the chorus, just … Read how I did it…

Experienced
How I did it: Wikipedia, anyone? I know it's cheesy and can be edited by anyone with an access to a computer, but still, that's really what people use nowadays and since I already used it as a basis for an essay on Buddishm (and all my other essays), I figured it wouldn't hurt to use it to learn, which I did. It made me aware that Buddism isn't all about praying, being calm, etc.; it's more about finding yourself in calamity to be capable of being calm… Read how I did it…

YES! Free driving lessons this summer! You complete the course in a week and you drive for a full day instead of taking a long test and having to memorize so much! It’s just down the street, so I can easily get there and back :)
I’m soooooo glad. It wasn’t even that hard though.
Most of the classes are Honors, such as math and biology. The only main difference is that you do more projects, are more interactive, and study higher level material in English. They also add on extra classes, such as a Life Management class and other ones that seem suited for pre-IB students.
So, I’m planning on sticking it through till senior year! Next year I’ll be taking Journalism 2 (easy class) and AP Pyschology, along with the required AP World History (ugh).
