I actually like all my classes (so far, since there are 2 more that I haven't attended yet), except for AP Lit (pd. 1) which is scary and a little terrible. My teacher is rather monotonous, and she expects us to write elaborate and detailed introductions/conclusions that span pages in a 40 minute time frame. I fear for my GPA (my sanity and my poor, poor writing hand).

I expect that many of my classmates will be falling asleep during class since it is first thing in the morning (which is also terrible).

Also, Jane Eyre is still very boring and for 100 pages, nothing happens. Thus, I still have not finished my summer reading (though it doesn't seem to matter anymore as I already know the essay topic and Sparknotes/Cliffnotes is god).

AP Human Geography (pd. 3) is fun, Ms Thomas is fun, and the people in my class are fun.

SRP (pd. 5) is horrible, but this may be because I am biased and hate research and hated my internship this summer (but the class is bearable and Ms Ragan is nice).

AP Psych (pd. 7) is kind of awesome. Ms Jessell is really laid back (and fun!), and I mean. It's Psych. What could go wrong? (Well, except for the part where David Jia is in my class, and poor Haoxing, because where he goes, David Jia seems to follow.)

Marine Bio (pd. 8) is Dr. Miller and room full of magnets. There is nothing better. No, really. (I explode with love at this class, and especially Dr. Miller who hands out stuffed sharks and octopi. She is truly the embodiment of all things awesome.)

Tomorrow, I go to my Japanese and Biochem classes. Nothing can go wrong, for Japanese is in its first year (and thus easy), and Biochem is taught by Ms Bosse, who is hilarious and sarcastic and so laid back that she doesn't even flinch when people start talking about questionable things (and people talk about many questionable things, trust me).

So hoorah! Besides the fact that I'm terrified of AP Lit and all it entails, my schedule is delightful and full of delightful people. (Except I may have to change it because I'm missing a second period, and that is apparently unacceptable.)

Now I must go nap before I tackle my insurmountable pile of homework (and yes, on the first day of school. This does not bode well).

Happy New Year!
I hope 2007 brings more sleep than 2006, but I highly doubt it...

Five Things Jenny Has Been Doing Over Break:
1. Watching House (finished all the episodes in 4 days--I wish my obsessive nature applied to schoolwork)
2. Reading House fic
3. Reading blind_go fic
4. Being antisocial
5. Not doing homework

And consequently, Five Things Jenny Has To Do Now That Break is Pretty Much Over:
1. Homework. All of it. a;dlskfj
2. Write fic. Since I promised abster226 fic and I haven't actually gotten around to it
3. Apply to some summer internship.
4. Remind myself to watch House every Tuesday.
5. Weep. Gahhh school. :(((

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/whatever else you might celebrate. ♥!

BAD THINGS:

1. Detention - security guards sweep the halls looking for late students and give them detention slips at my school. Not only is this stupid because it's only encouraging kids to skip (really, only a goody-goody like me would go to class and risk detention), but my school is in the middle of tons of traffic. Getting to school on time is a pain in the ass, and getting detention for slow-moving traffic is not the best way to start a day.
2. Math test - I think this is self-explanatory
3. Genetics test - *frets* I don't actually know half the stuff that's on the test tomorrow.
4. No snow. :(((

GOOD THINGS:

1. Detention ended early today 'cause the supervisor had a conference to get to.
2. The week is almost over. Just. One. More. Day.
3. PSAT scores back. *preens*
4. Oh, and hey.  I have DDR now. That's pretty nifty.


And now, to jump on the bandwagon - fill my stocking!

So for the past 3-4 days, my immune system has been fighting off:

1. a pounding headache
2. a fever (though that was secondary compared to the hammer slamming into my skull)
3. some sort of stomach virus that made me:
     a) anorexic 'cause I had no appetite (I missed out on birthday cake ;___;)
     b) bulimic 'cause everytime I decided to eat something, I just upended half an hour later

Then, around 3 AM today, it just stopped. The churning in my stomach just kind of died. And then it started growling. NICE TRY STOMACH, LIKE I'M GONNA FALL FOR THAT ONE AGAIN. You're not getting fed until at least tomorrow (probably). I really can't wait until I can start stuffing my face with unhealthy foods again...

Also, I suddenly became un-sick after finishing 2/3 of my math homework. HAHA UNIVERSE, YOU'RE PRETTY FUNNY.

...I think I'm going to curl up somewhere until the Universe stops mocking me.

1. Our pot got stolen. No joke. Someone up and took our pot. Or our pot up and walked away. Either way, now we have no research project, have basically wasted weeks of work and well. I'm debating whether this is a good thing or a bad thing because on the one hand, no pot = no demo = no failed demo. On the other hand, all those days of work = gone. (Cooking pot, btw. Not marijuana.)

2. English essay = uninspired and crap. Religious prompts make Jenny want to bash her head against a wall.

3. My math teacher promised us that our next test will be like 800x harder than our last test. Hard test = Jenny failing

4. I have to read an entire World chapter by Thursday.

5. PSATs on Wednesday. I have to get above a 223 to make the National Merit cutoff or get disowned by my parents. WTF, WHY DOES MY STATE HAVE TO BE SO FUCKING SMART???

And so, a PSAT problem: Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole:

JENNY IS _____ FOR THE PSATS.

a) panicking
b) not studying
c) screwed
d) screwedscrewedscrewed
e) All of the above

--

On the plus side, I managed my first A on a math test. :D

Also, my genetics class wins at life. Seriously:
Mrs Bosse: (on the topic of why we should not be losing points on short answer responses) Look, here's a free response rubric. It tells you exactly how to write BCRs.
Me: BUT THE DRUGS ARE IN THE WAY.

...In my defense, they were.
