I am in a really good mood. I just came out of AP Physics, a class I’ve been struggling with all year long. But today was different. My teacher was writing a problem on the board with about 12 steps, and suddenly I had a breakthrough. I figured out a way to do it in 2 steps. I tapped my friend... Read more »

Slice of Nice: Turn a bad day around
January 20, 2010
Filed under A slice of nice
Whoever said being a second semester senior was easy was WRONG. At least until the AP tests are over, I am still stuck with the same daunting workload as 1st semester. And even though colleges don’t look at my grades, I still have to keep grades up to avoid finals. And when I pile Showtime atop... Read more »

While I think we should all be appreciating the great things in our lives 24/7, it seems almost impossible. It’s hard not to complain about doing 18 college applications or having to clean my room.

Slice of Nice: When one door closes…

Filed under A slice of nice, Blogs
They say when one door closes, another opens. Not at LHS at 6:50 a.m. when it’s cold out. If zero hour is about to start, I’ve come to expect that the door will get slammed in my face yet again.

Welcome to the blog with an appetite for good deeds. Personally, I’m tired hearing teenagers rant about all their problems. So the last question on the math test was totally unfair. So what? It’s not the sign of the apocalypse, it’s one math problem. Don’t get me wrong- I can... Read more »
