She sounds like she may have the wrong sort of brain for science if she likes all those arty type of subjects...

Science requires logic....I always found I could get top grades at maths but when ever I tried to answer questions in english I always came out with the exact opposit of what the teacher said was the answer...just some people are not designed to do certain subjects and it just seems no matter how hard you try no one is ever gonna manage to make them fully understand them.


The only exception with me is that I can do drawing but you'll be surprised how much maths is required to art, is all in the getting the correct proportions and perspective. It requires a brain that can work with fractions and apply them to the picture in front of you.

To be honest me and Scarlet Lioness seem to be exact opposits, I can't do any of the subjects she loves and she can't do maths and science that I love....

Yeah, my favorite subject is Trig. It so easy compared to Algebra II! All I really do outside of school is drama, (American)football, and surfing. Science is cool to, but my teacher's the worst, she keeps losing papers.

Totally english. I love it.

Maths is alright once you get in a rhythm and understand all the concepts. Science... ho hum, it's logic and memory really, and you'll be alright as long as you're slightly interested and have a keen ear.

I like learning other languages, it just intrigues me...

Er... I'm a singer too... yay..

Top hockey side in the school..

3rd equal in my year.

Writing is my passion though. That's all there is to it.

Haha, I guess I get Science, I get Achieved's and Merits...which is like a B to an A- or A. But I don't like it really...

I never ever understood Trig...not even at school, but just wait till you try university level trig...when they combine it with complex numbers and differentiation and give you Fourier series...it is pure evil...although I suppose if you like differentiation and applied maths then it might not be....

I just can't get my head round the stuff though...all those numbers....pure maths is so much easier...usually only uses whole numbers or symbols...way better.

hmm.

I love love love writing and singing. love love love. I want to write when i get older.... like publish a book or two.
I write all the time. im actually typing a story at the moment!
:-D

The thing is, I dont get analyzing sentences and i flunk quizzes that ask what the phrases and clauses are.

I cant stand math, but its one of my best subjects... im only in geometry... its pie! haha. pun. you now. pi and pie? i think thats been established here.

ok
science is good. I like biology and 8th grade science (my current classes) and theyre also some of my best subjects.

Spanish is good, too. I just dont do my homework.

Really i guess all of my subjects are my best subjects...

Except art. and i dont mean singing and writing. I mean drawing and painting. I always did suck at that sort of thing. I even dropped out!

I like PE but not health and i cant stand te teacher. He has bad grammar like nobody's business.

and his mustache had a mind of its own (thank God he shaved it)

And tennis. Thank you, Scarlet.

And so am I actually, UAP. I'm just writing up notes as we speak waiting for some replies for posts because there's nothign new I want to reply to. I'm waiting for the ol' RPG to get replied to.
I actually like a few of my posts in there... you can't do indents for paragraphing though so you just have to skip a line...

Ah well.

I used to be the same with analysing sentences and stuff but eventually I knew that once I'd learnt it I wouldn't regret it so I just decided to learn it and it stuck, so now I know everything I need to know really.

I've been fairly good at grammar. Except I hate my teacher. Whenever we're talking in private, she talks to me as if I'm an F-student. She's always like, "You know those people who always get good grades? They study Bradley they study....." I mean, I study more than a lot of people in my class. She just has thisthing against people in sports. She thinks anyone who plays football is dumb, she does this with everyone on the team, and you can tell because she'll say something like, "Football won't help you in the future.... school will," I mean, I agree with that statement, and I consider football as recreation, but she doesn't believe it. Whenever I get A's she thinks I'm cheating.

Don't you get me started on my teachers...Bextra can relate to the problems we have, especially with our from teacher last year...

"Hayley, I think you might need to concerntrate more on English than your dancing, you seem to be getting lower marks than usual, I don't believe an A is goods enough at you're level of skill...(Sorry I don't get Whale Rider I can't spek Maori) I think you might have to QUIT DANCING!!!"

"Rebecca, stop being Culturaly Insensitive..." (It's not Becca's fault she can't speak fluent Maori...at least she was trying...eh Bex!!!)

I mean come on...11 years of dancing and she's known me what ummm 6 months and she tells me to quit...I never forgave her for that...so i just stropped doing me best in English...

Ok, the rambling has stopped...

lol, I've actually stopped using short form while on MSN because I've gotten used to having to write out fully on here...

I actually like Maths this year! It's simple!!!! and Science is easier too!!!! Actually Science and Maths are like my favourite subjects this year...plus Drama and Religion (it's practically a free period) and Music is too hard and ICT is way to Simple!!!! Then there is Social Studies which is just normal standard...and P.E is awesome and...I don't know what else I take...I don't think there is anything...apart from Singing, Violin and String Group and String Quartet...Oh and Netball...

Wow, I didn't realise I did so much at school...
