What recent disappointments (education wise) have happened to you recently?
it's because you don't know how to use apostrophes, amirite
Snorkie's right, it's just 'Honours English'.
I probably won't be in AP english next year :) or AP Gov but I would really like to be in both but I won't know until the end of the year... We'll see!
I am failing math but that happens every year. I'll finish with a B

I usually have a C in math during the whole year, but I'm actually doing well this year.

That happens to me usually in English, mainly because I don't like writing all that much.
Me fail english? That's unpossible.

I am not a very good writer but I have the most amazing English teacher, Mrs. Parker. I really enjoy her and would probably love any class/subject that she were to teach and I imagine I would get an A (as I do in english) I can't help but get anything lower. Best teacher.
I couldn't get into AP classes so I just stood at normal level this year.
Which is great since now all my grades are very high A's without me doing anything :0

See, I have three Accl/AP classes and three normal ones
My grades in my accelerated/AP classes (US History, English and German) are a lot higher than my non-accelerated classes (Chemistry, Math and Dance)
I work backwards.

That's good. If I really put effort into school, I'd be in AP classes, but I just can't muster the will to do it.
I missed a bunch of early start deadlines. :(
BUT
I got 1980 on my sat. woot.

I don't really put effort into anything but relationships... and biking but especially not school. I think the only time I have done homework outside of doing it during school was an essay I had to write last month and I was so stressed. Also, I wrote a poem...
APUSH I do no work and English... most is in class anyways, if not it's vocab and I do that during German which I do that work during dance (as I have been kicked out of our winter production :()
AP kids always make AP classes sound harder than they are...
I'm getting As in all my classes, which is a surprise considering I'm in all honors.
But last year I got an F in English because my teacher was a dumb nigger.

Thanks ;D
I know it's not like.. outstanding, but I'm really happy I improved it from my last grade, I had 1840. I really thought I did wirse this time, but yay. befuddlement
Even though the only reason I did better is because I'm good at the writing section. :P

Actually it is pretty outstanding, considering the average is like a 1520

god yes this is true. people in ap classes are full of shit. i;m in all ap classes and they're pretty damn easy but everyone whines about it like they're in some kind of forced labor camp, i guess they're either really stupid or just compulsive whiners

Yeah, my AP English was extremely easy and my AP Calc, while I hated it (because I hate all math) wasn't all that hard overall.
I have to go to school for an extra semester.
Really? At my school they let everyone into honors English short of people that like fucking piss their pants.
And I got into AP english with like an 80 avg in honors.
I failed the tenth grade.
I dropped my bio minor because I couldn't fit it into my life anymore. :(
screw you ap kids smithicide;
anyway my district has been begging me to get into honors english for the past three years and i finally did it this year
i got a 92 on the state final and they were like "come on in baddood;"
i'm also in honors chemistry but holy shits that class sucks
That's funny, I didn't have any major disappointments recently. That explains the peace of mind I've had for a while now. It feels pretty good when I contemplate it.
Thanks for the reminder guys. caterpie;

How did you do out of 1600? I only ask since most colleges don't give a shit about the writing section.

Oh wow we got the same score out of 1600 but you beat me by 200 on the out of the 2400 scoring.
I got 1420 out of 1600
Made up for my GPA when applying
My GPA isn't measured, but I'm usually a B+/A- student. I got a 229 on a practice PSAT once, though badass

Yeah, it sounds way less impressive when I give my 1600 score. :(
But people are also impressed with my 740 in writing.
Honors English is silly; some of the kids in the Honors program at my school have very poor writing compared to regular English students. If you want to pursue an advanced course in English, take Composition I at your local community college.

You just take those classes to improve your resume, not because you necessarily enjoy learning advanced English

Ahhuh. On a side note, it looks like I should have taken Honors English, because the regular curriculum doesn't really prepare one for college-level writing. Most of the kids in my English courses fail to understand the basic grammar taught in grammar/elementary school. It looks like I'll have to take Composition I to have enough preparation for college writing.
