By now it should be halfway through the Fall semester for most people in college and I assume high school. How are you doing so far?
Me:
Microeconomics - B+. Mostly a powerpoint lecture class. Somewhat easy homework (though the HW is why I don't have an A...yet...maybe...hopefully) which I do every Thursday and our only test so far was open book.
HDFS - B+, closer to an A-. Will be an A after my teacher updates grades. Not sure how to describe this class. I've done one presentation as the ost major grade so far and lots of minor stuff like goal planning, some research, and a MBTI test. Really easy class, but I have a B+ right now cause I was supposed to read a book and never did and we had a quiz. It was onky 15 points though. Will have an A when all is said and done so whatever.
Math - B+. Mostly an online class where I do a crapload of problems on some program called ALEKS. It's annoying. Though it's saving my grade since I got a D on my first test (mathzz is hard). If I had a graphing calculator I would've aced it though. Meh.
English - A+. MY SWAG IS OFF THE CHARTS. But seriously though. I just checked this today and...WTF? A+? How is this possible? It seems some of the BS assignments were worth 100 points. Hell yeah? I have like an 88 average for my essays if I added up my first two essays (which you're allowed 2 revisions!) and an A something for everything else. I do well on essays but they take FOREEEEEVER to write. At least with me. It's a good thing there's a good payoff.
Spanish - F. OK, not really. My teacher still hasn't put up any grades and I have no idea what grades will be like. Most of what we've done is homework which she hasn't given us a grade for. And the HW is ridiculous, it's too much BS work that takes forever. I'm assuming participation will be a big factor since she calls on everyone A LOT. My participation will likely be OK, I guess. We had one test that most people bombed ince she expected us to learn like 60-80 words in a day. Yeah right. We also had one test that I'm not sure she'll even count since it was a boys vs. girl test lol. Girls won with an 88, we had like a 60 some lolz. Spanish is hard, yo. Then again I haven't had a Spanish class in 2 years. We have a take home exam that I better do well on.
Am I weird for thinking college is easier than HS (with getting good grades I mean)? It's a lot more work, but I'm still doing better than I've done in HS for a long time, at least for now. Not having tests every week for every class is nice.

Drop Spanish and pick up Japanese.
