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…
How I did it: I studied. Really hard. Well, at the beginning of the year, I had no idea what would happen, so I did what I did best: slack off. However, as the time came closer, I listened to my teacher more and understood that I HAD to pass because then the whole year I wasted in the classroom would have been a waste, so I put more time into it. I worked harder on the flashcards we were required to do for each chapter/unit, studying them, etc.; studie… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I studied, for the most part. I didn't really study, I just paid more attention in class and tried my best to remember what we discussed in class, even if my teacher happened to ramble off into Rantville numerous times. I got a 80 on my final, and since I had an 91 average in the class, I think the least I can get is a B for the class, which I am totally acceptable of. 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).
I think the best way to settle this problem is to do other things. Maybe it’s the best way for me, or everyone, but honestly, if I can just distract myself and kinda relax from stressful activities, then eventually my thoughts will sooth out. Sometimes I don’t feel like doing anything after having so many of these thoughts, and that’s the hardest: when you’re laying in bed, and all you want is the world to go away, but if you get up and put on some good, loud music and think of a really fun time with your friends or even with yourself, that’s when I feel like my overanalyzed thoughts are at bay and aren’t bothering me for the time.
I don’t know if this’ll help anyone else, but it has helped me a lot.
