Reason for my Absence

[Shattered]

I know I haven't been on in a long time, but believe me, I'm so sorry!

I decided to tech for one of the plays at my school, and it's taken up a majority of my time. I go right after school and don't stop until six. By then, I am dead tired and have to do my homework. But if I wasn't there, the actors would be in darkness, so it's kind of important.

So once again, sorry! I'll try to be more active!

Oh, okay, cool.

Leafy and I understand. We've played techie at times; I took a class in it, once. -shudders-

[//The/Pendulum/Swings//]

No problem! I know theatre can take up a lot of time. :/ I'm in our HS's play of Cinderella.

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

I just have college work. -shrugs-
Plus, Leafy's being buried by Junior-year work. Evil stuff.

[Hidden]

It's okay Shattered. You're (mostly) forgiven.

I still think you're crazy, Diz. -looks at her Freshman workload with renewed appreciation-

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

For doing college?
Psh. 'S easy. I only have three classes:
Japanese 102: I'm above their level. I know more. Thus, no work.
English 101: Occasional essays. Nothing much. Just like Freshman English.
Computer Science 110: Tricky, but not really. Not much work.

[Hidden]

WHAT?! Three classes?? Sign me up!

Urg, I so want to ditch Spanish. But I don't have anything to transfer into. It's actually kinda nice though. No tests or homework. The teacher asked "Do you think we should start having tests and homework?" and we all said no, and she was like "OK!"

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

Then it isn't a class.

Talk to your counselor about Running Start and/or Dual Enrollment. I'm pretty sure you can't do it until your Junior year, though.

[Hidden]

Yeah, it is a class. I sit there for an hour four days a week and get credit for it.

I don't actually want to do it; I still think you're crazy. As long as I stay in the highest math lane, I can get an extra college credit senior year. Not like I know what that means... Hey, wait, shouldn't you have a math class?

She has other regular junior classes, I think. Heh. I'm only in 7th grade, so the homework's basically nonexistant. But I also have Musical Practice, Basketball, STUCO, Student Ambassador, and Tutoring. Plus, I'm head of the SAI Team for our school's Mission Carnival. [SAI = Stuffed Animal Inspection- I have to make sure all of the stuffed animals are in good condition.] Soon, I have to go to a Volleyball wrapup party, my best friend's mom's baby shower, and other things. So I'm pretty busy for an average seventh grader. -eyeroll-

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

Indeed.

I took math last quarter; got college credit, and I don't have to take anymore until next year.
You have to take the AP test for college credit, though, Hidden. AP Calculus, right?

[Hidden]

I don't know. I think I can look it up. Wait a minute.

...

Geometry/Algebra 2A
Trigonometry/Analytic Geometry Honors
Analysis Honors
BC Calculus AP

Those are the four classes, assuming I stay in the highest lane. I think we're forced to take the AP test. -grumbles- We have to take a stupid test early in the morning this year while everyone else gets to sleep in.

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

That sucks.
Me, I go to school for 3 hours, go home, and do homework; usually, though, I play. Tis fun.

[//The/Pendulum/Swings//]

Nice Diz. But today was a half day so I got out at 10:30! whoot! -does happy dance- muahaha! I got out before Diz. And yes. Junior Year sucks. esspecially math. :/

[[don't]fear[the]reaper]

Well, we won't discuss math. _{if you want, i'll help you out next year.}

Boys are cool too. Not scary.
