I have my chemistry exam tomorrow.
*runs off into a corner and mumbles incoherently*
-
Exam Exemptions are wonderful, arent they ;)
Seriously though, good luck with it.
-
Mathematics, History, Acting, possibly Latin, American Literature finals/exams. coming up, next two weeks. :doubt:
-
I was hoping this'd be a Gackt thread. :doubt:
-
Spanish Oral finale tommarrow.
-
****! I have to find something to do tomorrow so I can complain about it!
-
I just finished my degree presentation today. I feel odd... I have no deadlines or documents to worry about... :D
-
Lesse, I'll get these in 3 weeks, all together in a week time:
French
German
History
Sociology
Biology
(alll of the above twice, I missed the last run of tests)
Latin
Sciences
Some stuff I forgot.
And then I still have tests, just no exams, in Physics, Chem, English, Dutch, and some other stuff.
-
And I must convince my Biology teacher that I don't want to learn all summer. And I should also learn the actual material, by the way. :)
Knowledge and the ability of persuation makes a perfect pair.
Fortunately, there will be no more Chemistry for me.
-
Chemistry is so damn easy, just learn the periodic tables. Hell, I got a 90 on the test.

Depends on the level you study it at. :)
Chemometics for instance is the Devil's science in that you can only understand it after having made a demonic pact :D
Organic chem is nice and easy though I'll agree :)
-
The difficulty of subjects depends on what country you are living in, which school you are studying at and who your teacher is.
Three factors.
Chemistry is quite hard if you learn it in a 'normal' Hungarian high school.
-
The teacher is the biggest factor. I had two teachers for Grade 12 Chemistry. The first guy was great, I remembered most of what he said, but he was only filling in because the other was off pregnant.
She was the single worst teacher I ever had. I got numerous detentions because I dont take many notes in class. I never had. Its not how I remember things. Of all the things to get written up for, not taking notes was it. After that I got them for "being disrespectful".
I called her an idiot, and with good reason. If someone didnt understand something, she would tell them that it was their fault, not hers and make them read the textbook, which is pretty useless.
She came back in the second half of the year, after we got our midterm marks. I got a 90% then. At the end of the year, my mark dropped to a 70%. Pretty much evryone in the class had their mark drop by at least 10% when she returned. You'd think this would have raised some eyebrows in the administration, but no. Snatchface (what my class nicknamed her) is still there teaching.

sounds like one of my former lecturers.....

Sounds like the idiot I have for Sciences. (Our school uses that nominer to teach us the coherence between Physics, Maths, Chem and Biology :doubt: )
Accept she is too bloody afraid to tell me anything. I can teach her about the contents of the book, the general subject, and even about the bit of psychology bit needed for teaching. In class, when she tells something completely wrong (has happened) and I correct her, she just says 'Well, I think he's right' and goes on. Aside from getting my class to except me, I think I can be a better teacher then her. And with good ground too, because I actually do explain bits of the matter to co-students, when they missed her explanation.
I'm afraid she had her pregnancy last year, and child no.2 isn't hurrying up enough to help me.
And don't get me started on the idiot I had for French in years 1 through 3. We had a replacement due to her being pregnant in year 1. I got 7/10, even once a 10/10. Now, aside from the bit of reading we do, I get 3/10, 2/10. My new teacher (year 4 now) is helping me recover a bit, but it won't get me through my exams easily. And I still can't order a bloody bread in French. (Not the one I want anyway)

A-Level chemistry was fun, as I discovered everything I'd learned at GCSE was lies
-
I think I got through it alive actually.
Now I've got Algebra II and English to study for...
I need to be able to recognize and give the significance of any quote the teacher decides to give us from:
Dubliners by James Joyce
Canterbury Tales by Chaucer
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Candide by Voltaire
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and...
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
-
im looking forward to my college years now that im about to leave highschool. Currently doing my GCSE exams. Should be fun - they have a tea machine - YEY :D
-
I wish I got to read A Clockwork Orange in my English class...
-
I remember having a furious row with a biology teacher about evolution. Not about whether it was real or not but because he kept refering to animals doing things for the good of the species which is completely wrong.
It rather worried me that I'd read one book on the subject and yet knew more about it than a biology teacher.

You didn't pack him off to caley as a java lecturer by any chance?
-
Chem. Project on the Cold War due in two days.. as are numerous essays I can redo for extra credit in my English Class.
-
Three down...one to go. Just Spanish left. :)
-
There is nothing I will have from today ... just relax and enjoy the life! Until September.
-
Hehe, poor children... It's nice to be a teacher and see others sweat for once :D
-
I also found out that the Junior College course I'm taking over the summer (American History.. second half actually. Only covers 1877 to present..) is going to be Monday through Thursday, 7:30am to 9:30am.
Needless to say, I'm thoroughly disgruntled.
-
Seriously, American history is one of the dullest parts of history ever :p Good luck staying awake :p
-
Damn you.
-
my school's been out for about a week now...
:nervous:
please don't kill me...

Well it's all post-colonialism and Industrial Rev, and Indian killing, so it should be pretty fun actually. Although, we don't go over the Civil War. :sigh:
Anaz: **** you. :p
-
American history is the most boring subject ever. European history is alot more interesting.
And my schoolin's been over for about 2.5 weeks. Even got my grades back.
Me = 3.7 GPA.
-
That's because all the Europeans did was kill each other. Americans do more civilized things, like mine for gold, genocide natives, put slaves to work, and invent things. :p
-
European history is far longer and more detailed. All I hate in history is learning about Hungarian kings and their actions. Nothing is as boring as it is. I like learning about wars. We are now at the beginning of the 20th Centaury, so the two World Wars are coming.
I fought for mark 3, and I got it!
-
Just be glad you've not been waiting since 10am for degree results........
-
EXAMS ARE OVER! I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
:D
Gonna go see Harry Potter tonight... :nervous:
-
i hate you.
-
tomorrow... I will do that physics science exam. I'll probably fail it tho, as I couldn't be bothered to learn integrals properly. after writing it, I'm gonna get really drunk. see, they're emptying that nearby students pub...
-
I'm a history teacher but strangely, I actually enjoyed physics :p
-
Never liked any of them.
-
Tiara, what kind of history do you teach?
The History of Axes...:nervous:

thats exactly what happened to me in history class. I got a 96% on the midterm, while the student teacher was heading things up, then when the old witch came back, I ended up dropping to like 75%.
luckily, most of the history teachers are now pretty young, and the witch is stuck as a librarian, against her will I think.

Amen to that. Actually, all of Western history is only a minor part of world history, but its pretty much all we ever learned.
Oh no, our precious tea! They can't possibly tax it, the bastards! This is serious now, lets revolt. Oh and, while we're at it, lets put in some of that Liberty and Freedom crap Franklin is always *****ing about, at least it'll shut him up.

actually, it's not that bad. it's just that I lacked the motivation to learn the math behind it. should've paid attention to analysis.
