Well, let's just say this year every subject sucks, except Physics which I am doing great in.
I am doing the worst, though, in UCONN Modern Western Civilizations, a history class. The tests are hard! The highest grade I got was an 83, and then the second was a 74. My first test was a 51 (yikes), and then 64, 60, lousy grades. I got a C in the class the first marking period. My first C ever on a report card, with the exception of mid-terms. It's a college class (even though I'm still in high school), so it really is a wake up call for college.
I usually like Spanish (and may even major in it), but right now it is BLAH. We are doing a stupid puppet show based on Don Quixote that is going to be 30 minutes long aired on the TV at our school, like anyone will give two craps about it...No one wants to do it. Luckily, I was able to pick up on some points in the story, thanks to MOLM recently being on Broadway (didn't see it, but have the cast recording and read the synopsis).
English, the first MP I got an 89. Since it is a Level 0 class, it is like getting a 99 in a Level 1 class. That's good. So that's how people get higher than 4.0 GPA, because those classes are weighted more.
AP Calculus, ugh. One of the subjects where the teacher expects you to work a gazillion hours a night on homework and rarely does a formal lesson. I'm trying a little harder this marking period, ended up with an 85 last M.P.
Okay, sorry for writing such a long post.
