For school/colle(d)ge people and those feeling like it... (bi-annual grades thr)

So, what up with the school?

Well I'll start.

I just corrected my 1(F) from the last (half)year/semester, and I finalized some critical subjects(?). There were some surprises, but mostly good.
If all goes well (meaning I find more motivation in this sea of professor crazyness;the drunk ones are the worst, tho' sometimes funny, so they're kinda ok

)
I'll pass with a 4/B.

So what 'bout you?

My school is over. I got grades I'm happy with, though they could have been better. Now I'm trying to get into a polytechnics of some sort (I dunno what's the right English term to use) to study video editing, filming, sound recording, writing etc. I was at test on wednesday and thursday and I think I'm not getting in... atleast not yet.

Well, it's practically over for me, and Ill most certainly pass with average grade higher than 5,50(A). I guess Im less motivated than I should be, but oh well - I know my priorities.

My last day of classes is monday...and then I have three days of final exams. I was lucky...I took courses that mostly have project-orinated finals, so I only have to go to school for abotu 2 and a half hours for those three days. then I'll be a senior in american high school.
expected year composite grades
Steel Drum Band-A+
IAP (Intregated Anyalsis and Phyisics) Physics C+ Anyalsis-C-. This was the hardest course I ever took...its a 2 hour blocked class of pre-calc and advanced physics...which isnt my cup of tea, plus the teaching is poor. worst grades I've ever gotten
KAP/AP US History-A-
STAR (computing class) A
Jazz Band-A+
COncert Band-A+
AP/KAP English 11 (read: college freshman english) B+
not too bad...sans the horrible math/science fiasco

I kind of envy you guys who take music classes. It's far more interesting than maths or physics, for example. I could have made the wrong decision... but it was long time ago - now music is nothing more than a great hobby of mine.

My exams are next week, but here are this semester's course marks...

Gr. 11 Visual Basic ProgrammingÃ,Â = 98%
Gr. 12 Computer Science = 96%
Gr. 11 IB Math = 93%
Gr. 11 IB English = 92%

Hopefully my marks will stay this high after the examinations...

I think music classes are the best thing thats happened to me in my schooling. I hurt my knee pretty bad in 8th grade, which took me out of playing sports, which I was decent at. Playing with musical groups has opened up my thinking, created new creative endevors, and helped me make a lot of friends. not to mention the fact that Ive delevoped a skill that is going to help pay for college, and is a possible voaction or avenue of study should goverment and politics not work out. I think every student should take at least two years of music if they can.

I know this, I've used band (and antipiate my life to continue like this) a lot more then I will my higher maths or physics

well looking at all your grades its kind of intimidating for me.

I left school two weeks ago, im currently doing my GCSE exams. Which are going ok, Im hoping to get the 5 'c' grades i need to get into sixth form (like collage). i should be able to get these quite easily as ive got atleadt 4 'c's for my ict course.

I think i messed up my 10 hour art exam, as i simply wasnt inspired.

English went quite well....

Well I've got uni exams this week... in fact i've got one today in about 4 hours... on a saturday?! It doesnt seem that fair ruining my weekend with an exam, but I can't really complain. I'll be able to tell you my results in a few weeks, but I've been going pretty well in my subjects, so hopefully its pretty good.

In my HSC (Australian NSW School thingy) I got 83.2 which I was happy in since I didnt really study at all.
