Yup, long time no type. Well, just to update, I have finally finished my first week of sophomore year. Wow. It's so hectic you can imagine. Just last night (my busiest night), I barely survived. My schedule:

1. PreCal H (D)
2. Art 1 General
3. Dance 1
4. English 2 GT
5. Spanish 3 H
6. Chemistry H
7. World His Pre-AP

I have already realize through my schedule that it would be impossible for me to finish my homework in my other classes this year. Absolutely. Art and Dance give you no free time at all like Health and Speech last year where I would totally do my homework in there. I have the feeling that I might change me schedule but for not I'll endure. The pressure is on this year...both from parents and the teachers. Freaky. It's also frightening all my teachers always PROMISE me that their class is hard as heck. I'm not sure I can handle that at the moment. I barely survived this year. So here's a long list of my classes.

PreCal H (dual) which means that I also get college credit. So its a super must that I ace this class. I don't want to botch up my first college GPA. Mr. Teacher is really nice and our class is funny too. Monday and Tuesday was okay, but Wednesday to today, I can totally honestly test you I'm so lost. Last year's book was so much easier because it told you what example you could refer to if you could get your homework problem correctly. This one words the instructions to complete hardness to where I can even understand what its asking me and also I'm not following. I do do my homework but I might not get my homework. I need to make some study buddies fast or else my downfall.

Art is okay. I made some fun friends from my table to talk to. My teacher today just took a picture of everyone in class so she could recognize our face and memorize our names. Horrid. I hate pictures. But the art is okay for me. But I heard the teacher grades really hard. Ahh... Kathleen has the same class but is most likely to later move up towards probably Art 2 or 3. Just to clarify, she's in the same class, but different period.

Dance is interesting. Haven't really done anything yet but our teacher is a bit unorganized. I'm trying out clothes right now so I can know what size I am. The special dance clothes are going to be expensive, that's a for sure. Hope its nothing intense cause I can barely touch my toes right now. Pray for me.

English II GT is intense. First week already and she has issued the Illiad and we are to have a test on it in two weeks. And the Illiad is a pretty thick book you know, 914 pages. We have to read and summarize at least two each night. We are reading at least 3 more books (not short stories) than the English I Pre-AP. Apparently, there's finally a difference between those two but I'm not liking it so much. My teacher is great though. I know her boy. He was with me in StuCo and choir last year. And I'm very happy about the fact that she has recycling bins for BOTH plastic bottles and paper in her room. I often recycle in her room, and already a week into her class, and I have been announce "the Environmentalist." Ho-yeah! I pray I make it thru her class alive though. Next, we have a essay due next Fri, and quiz on next Tuesday and her reading assignment.

Spanish III H is homework-crammed. Each night she gives us homework from the internet, our workbook, and her own worksheets. Bad thing is that I heard from Kathleen is that once she talked for the entire period and so KK's class was only allowed 15 minutes to take a test. She saids she expects us to memorize everything we've ever learned in Spanish. She's an okay teacher. I probably wouldn't drop this class because this is where I have lunch and my friends, and my best friend kingwood friend, Anh.

Chemistry H is interesting. My teacher teaches at a college level and with funny past chemistry stories. He's very smart, as I can tell. I like the way he gives us the test because he's already announce that he does include word scrambles and puzzles. My friend sits right next to me which is fabulous and currently we have a project that due Tues. And our test on Friday. I hope to stay in the class. Most probably one I wouldn't drop.

World History H is majorly intense. My teacher constantly tells us that her course is super hard and you should drop if you can't take it. She's an applications person and I can definately tell she's a harsh teacher. She saids that she isn't a teacher that would just test you on the info from the book just because you memorize the facts. She saids that in her classroom, you have to apply it and she also has an famous special matching thing in her class. Its a class where either you do really good or FAIL. Scary. My friends are in that class so hopefully, I will do well.

So, there you have it folks. Next post is about my first week at school. :)
