hey dudes. so basically, i'm attributing my inactivity on this blog to the commencement of school.
but i saw lucy and sabrina at the force show a couple weeks ago! yay!
so, COLLEGE APPS. they SUCK. but i guess i'll get through it. i don't really want to talk about that because i'm going to get really worked up about it, but pretty much, it's at the point where i'm having dreams about getting into college.
this year i'm taking:
1: us gov/econ (a semester of gov and a semester of econ)
2: ap environmental science
3: ap calculus ab
4: journalism 3 (school paper)
5: english 4/wise (i'll explain below)
6: ap art 4
so wise is a nation-wide program, where you do a year's worth of english class in one semester, and then second semester, you do your wise project. i forget what "wise" actually stands for. but it's like an exploration/research project on a subject of your choosing. you keep a weekly journal, have a faculty advisor, and the bulk of your project is your "third space." (your first space is hime, second is school, and your third space is a place where you can practice or learn about your topic. this could be a job, internship, or class at community college. a lot of people do art-based projects, so their thrid space could incluse stidio time.) instead of attending five fifty-minute classes everyweek, you get the period off, and you make up that time in your third space.
anyway yeah, that's about it.
i'm going to l.a. at the end of october and i'm going to see the faint on november 8th.
