I'm pretty bummed though, I know I'm not going to get a high enough score to start college next semester cause I forgot to fill in the blank answers.. :\

You made a generalization on how 12 year olds act. But from what I'm reading, I am wrong.

1. Xbox Live. (better yet, even those kids or more likely older than 12...which just makes it all the worse)

Well, Xbox Live, in my opinion, changes people. I get a bit loopy when I play, but I'm by far not the worst. I mean, I'll yell at the screen, but I won't turn on the communicator and yell "YOU SUCK, NOOB!" for two reasons:
1. I don't have an Xbox communicator.
2. If I did, and yelled at people, everyone would get on me because I was a preteen, even if they would do the exact same thing.

Well, you're right. Middle schoolers usually get pretty assholey by seventh grade, but not all. I lose.

Rant: When I lose.

coming from a seventh grader in my opinion i get work done faster when i talk because i enjoy talking with friends and if teachers let us talk more we would get more done i just mean like whispering no the yelling like cafeterias. i find it when i just talk to people around me time flys by and my assignments done in no time but when we can't talk it takes forever and we just don't feel like going on to finish are work.

EDIT: and referring to someone elses post preteens and teens are able minded just a lot of them decide not to use them in school.

Urgh, why the fuck do so many kids say "are" instead of "our"?

How can you concentrate, and get [i[more[/i] done... if you're not focusing all of your attention on it?

But your project doesn't, if you get my gist.

Junior, actually :p
My school's system got kind of messed up last year, I was supposed to take chemistry last year, and biology in 9th, but they made us take physics instead, then since we didn't have proper ventilation in our building, we couldn't take chemistry, so we had to take Environmental Sciences instead.

Yeah, that's what my school does...nevermind then.

noscottno · Post by **noscottno** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 11:26 am

I took Bio as a freshman, and Chem during summer school (I don't plan on doing anything chemisty related). That leaves me time to do my history and such, which for some reason I didn't take as a freshman.

My rant is that do to out AWSOME budget cuts, you can only take summer school if you got an F or D and want to retake a class. I planned on taking health and such, which are required. My whole plan relied on summer school, so now I have to take an extra period two more years.

That's weird. I got Bio in Freshman Year, Chem in Sophomore Year, and I'm taking Physics this year (Junior).

I had Earth Science my freshman year, Bio in Sophomore, Chem in Junior, Physics senior.

Biology 9th for me, last year I took Physics AP, and this year I'm starting Physics IB.

Regardless, that's unfortunate, even thought Im thinking #4 will be worse than all the others (and 3 was pretty badish)

That was last year and I'm too lazy to take it off, anyways I don't really care anymore.
