The Thread For Those Who Feel The Need To Share All of Their Banal Details — Page 136

Actually one of the English teacher is advocating that AP English be offered in our school. (Not as an actual class, but they want to run several workshops after school to prepare for the test.) So that people can get AP credit for it...and say they self studied, I guess. I wanted to take it this year with the class (which I'm actually glad I'm not at this current moment in time), and allegedly my English teacher tried to have us take the test in another HS, but in the end it just didn't happen because our principal didn't want to ask for a favor.

Calc worries me because I get it, but I don't really get it, but in the end it's Math B stuff that is coming back to haunt me. I have that class with your brother actually...makes me happy that I didn't follow what I was actually programmed for freshman year...or I'd be in AP Calc right now.

I was part of the Math A fiasco year. Considering that I didn't have a graphing calculator during the test, manually worked out those damned parabolas and everything...didn't think too much of it until it was on newspaper headlines that said a lot of HS kids failed...it sort of gave me a reason to be incessantly cocky in math. 8th grade, helllloooo! Then I'm reminded of my zoned HS and I have a reality check. (But out of the 70-ish kids who took it in my middle school, I don't think we had more than like 5 fail the exam...but I do know that the specialized science HS were a b*tch and didn't transfer the credits, except for Stuy if I am not mistaken.)

Must study for APUSH. I'm just excited that I don't have to get up at 6am tomorrow since I'm not going to school.

Yeah, a lot of the times in math I'm doing a problem but I don't really understand what I'm doing, or the point of doing it.

This project is making me want to rip my hair out; I really should have thought about it sooner.

aww, Elphie. That's a really tough situation, I'm sorry.

If it were me, I think I would want to say something; that way, if it's just a figment of your imagination, you can learn that and put your worry to rest. If the feelings are real, then you can deal with them, rather than having to tip-toe around the issue.

I don't think you CAN make them work; like you said, it's almost inevitable that stronger twosome bonds are going to form than the overall trio bond is going to be.

I've never had a real group of friends. Most of my friends are from different groups, and very few are friends with my other friends. It's strange.

I've decided that I'll do some of a practice AP English test, come on the computer for a few minutes as a reward, go back to studying, etc. It's pathetic, but I'm trying to use my internet addiction to my advantage.

Same here.

Good luck, Elphie. :-/

I only have like one or two good friends. Everyone else, I'll just eat lunch with them and such. There's like...no lifelong bond there.

If you can do that, siamese, I commend your willpower. I'm terrible with that strategy.

Elphie, I'm sorry about that. It's a very sticky situation. If you feel comfortable with the other girl, maybe you could talk to her and tell her that you're not trying to interfere. Let her know that you enjoy her company too and that you won't take away all of your mutual friend's time. It might help her feel less like her friendship is being threatened (not that anyone would ever really feel hostile towards you).

I hear, even from my closest friends that came out of high school (with the exception of one), only on very rare occasion. It's strange, and kind of disappointing, after spending so long with these people.

I'm only close with a very few people at my school, and friendly with almost everyone else.

It's just...this second girl...I think she's trying to become closer to me, as well, but it's in ways that are annoying me. Like, if we're sitting next to eachother in class, she might lean over and write something on my paper, like a message or my name or something. And, I like her a lot, but this just kind of annoys me, because she does it right in the middle of class, and it's sort of an invasion of my personal space.

I've had so many convenience relationships. Just about the day that I left my old school, all of my friendships ended.
