Tupac

 Tupac was truly a poet. I've always thought that it was good how he told stories through is songs and brought awareness to certain topics. However, the lesson was somewhat...eh. Everybody was making jokes about it, and then there was KB with the going to hell. I hate when people comment on things they have no experience with. As someone whose had hands on experience with drug addicts, the way other students was talking about it got under my skin.... 

Metaphors

So. The way my life is going... I have a 76 in AP Environmental because I didn't answer one question on a worksheet. She gave me a 50 and it brought my grade down to a 76. However, I got a 96 and a 100 on the first two quizzes and a 100 on an assignment. I have time to bring it up. If will go up though. In this class, we've been learning metaphors. This is a very extensive unit. It's kinda cool though to learn new ones. Considering we use them everyday, but we don't know the formal name.

Quiz

 Today we took our quiz, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I did study last night though, so I guess that helped. I got 2 out of the 16 wrong. I think that's a high B. It's not a bad grade to start with. When other grades are put in, it should go up. I'm not too worried because if I start worrying then I'll start freaking out about my grade. In the first two quizzes in AP Environmental, I got a 100 and a 96. I love life and earth sciences. It makes sense considering I want to be a Marine Biologist. The weekend should be good for me because I get to rest and play sims. I like playing sims because I can create my own story lines and stuff. 

Thesis Writing

 For the bell ringer, we wrote a thesis statement for a rhetorical analysis. We did it on the dream speech, and it wasn't easy. I had to look for more words and synonyms because I couldn't think of any. I'm guessing I have to extend my vocabulary. Luckily, my thesis statement was acceptable. We then read through more examples because some people just couldn't get it... We then worked in groups with the rhetorical devices. My group was nice. I was only a little nervous because I don't really have friends in here. Just kidding. We got up and presented our sentences which wasn't too bad.

Black History

 I find that highlighting things keeps me awake because of all of the colors. I also have found out that I have to study for all of my classes because stuff is getting a little more difficult. I just remembered we have a quiz on Friday... Then I have an APES quiz on Friday as well. Dang. I did this to myself though. I signed up for these AP classes like I'm about that life. Poor me. Oh well. University of Georgia better let me in those doors with these grades, test scores, and work ethic. If I don't get accepted, I'm literally going to cry myself to sleep and pick from one of my backups. Most people apply to colleges that are easy to get into, but I challenged myself by aiming for a college that I know will be the best setting and the best place for my to get my education. Even if it is hard to get in, I'm manifesting. 

Pronunciation

 Some of the way these words are written can be so misleading. Anyways, the class wasn't bad. I liked how we joked around and still learned at the same time. The class has started out fairly easy, but I know the load is going to pick up soon since we're officially in ap now. I should do good on the ap exam. I'm pretty good when it comes to writing. I also find it enjoyable.

Face to Face

 Today we started learning rhetorical devices. Some we knew, and some we didn't know. We use them all of the time when talking, but we don't know the names of them which is crazy. My day went by fine. My second-period class is filled with seniors, but I don't mind that too much. I just get nervous around people I don't know. I guess you can blame it on my only-childness. I like AP Environmental science though. I'm definitely taking that AP exam, and I think I'll take this class AP exam and not worry about US history or statistics because I know I can pass these two for sure.
