Photography


I don't take pictures.  So, I have no experience with photography. The only pictures that I take are random funny things on my crappy camera phone.  I don't like working with Photoshop either.  I'm not good at it.

Exams

For the semester exams, I think that I did pretty well.  In most of my classes I got A's or B's.  I don't think that we should have mandatory exams because I believe that teachers try to cram too much material into one test, and expect their students too remember all the materials they learned.  It's impossible to do for all seven of my classes.  All it does it create stress.  High school exams are not good practice for college, considering college is completely different from high school.  In college, you know the material that you are studying all along due to the syllabus.  All of my exams were comprehensive for the most part, except for government, which was the hardest.  I studied the most for Chemistry and my major classes. I'd say I spent about 12 hours studying altogether.

Exams

The semester ends in two weeks.  This year it's required that all students take mandatory exams.  I really don't want to because it's a waste of time. Reviewing the same materials over and over again really doesn't do anything.  Not really going to help you in the class.  Most of the time students forget half of the things they learn anyways.  It just causes a bunch of unnecesary stress.

Christmas Break

This Christmas break was by far the best Christmas I've ever had.  This year, I got all of the presents I asked for (mostly because I picked them out), and got to spend time with all of the people I wanted to be around.  On Friday, Han, Aleta, Lauren, Bailey, and I went to Starbucks.  The place was packed for it only being 2.  We talked and watched Aleta steal some little boy's hot chocolate.  Then we went to Wally World and walked around randomly trying to find stuff to do. After that, Bailey and I went to Coldstone, and had the best ice cream ever.  Other than that, I mostly stayed at home or hung out with people. I stayed up until almost 4 every day and woke up at 1.  That's why I don't like school, is because I don't like getting up so early.  That's pretty much it.
