PSSA testing

so for the next week or two i will be forced to take the PSSA's. they are a series of standardized tests and i do NOT want to take them. im not stressed out about them, i don't hate taking tests... i found the SATs not to be too challengeing, i don't want to miss class time in my AP classes. yes, i am a total nerd, i know that. now, if you don't mind i will criticize the gov't for messing up my education

hey gov't! you suck! all i want to do is be educated, and you are taking away from it. instead of being taught was is important in school, the administration teaches us to be good at YOUR standardized test. and i think that is stupid. i want to learn about light and fluids and the second world war. i don't want to fill in little bubbles and tell you that i know how to take a test. even though, i personally, am a good test taker, there are those who are not good at tests. you ask them a question, like how to calculate the tension on a rope with a pulley and they can explain it with ease. then you put it in test form and they can't do it. these standardized tests only add stress to students lives.

physics

So the third marking period has come to a close and that means the AP Test is not too far away! starting tonight actually my physics teacher is assigning a new webassign homework everynight for review... tonight is the first night and i am already struggling. i mean seriously, kinematics was cakewalk when we first went through it, but now... now i am like "holy frick.... this has to be easier then it looks"... and then it is. i mean seriously.

so far this year i have kicked some buttocks at physics... my year average (so far) is a 96... in AP physics. i wish i could say the same for APUSH (AP US history)... that class is starting to get on my nerves. the subject isn't bad. its the work load. and possibly the teacher, but im not going to get started on that.

YEY PHYSICS!
