This blog is probably going to turn out to be my "online journal that few people check maybe once a decade so it's really for myself, I guess". :)
Yeah, this is a bit late, and a lot of you have no use of it, but here's my schedule:
-Algebra II Honors
-1st semester: Personal Fitness~2nd semester: Team Sports 1
-English I Honors
-First Lunch
-Spanish II
-1st semester: Art/2-D Comp I~2nd semester: Life Management
-Earth/Space Science Honors/Gifted
My last class is "gifted", probably only because all the gifted people have bio this year, and there weren't enough gifted people to fill entire classes, and it wouldn't've been convenient for all of them to be in one class because their schedules would've been hard to make. But there's at least one gifted person in the class.
Last week, my counselor gave me the gifted screening, which I failed by 8 points... I needed 130 poitns to pass. She told me that I was supposed to take it during elementary or perhaps middle school, because the test gets much harder as you get older... I agree. It was freakishly difficult. So, unless someone has $300 to spare and can give it to me, I can't take the Wisc IQ test. (If you haven't realized it yet, the whole point of the screening was to see if the school felt I was worthy enough to have an IQ test.)
So, obviously, the moral of the story is: Never let your counselor give you an important screening test with vocabulary that she can't pronounce.
I have nothing personal against my counselor, though. She is actually a very nice person. The only reason she couldn't pronounce them was probably because she didn't actually grow up in the US and most likely had a different "first language".
I guess the real, true moral of the story is: The state is underestimating the number of "gifted" people. Since most of these intellectual people are asians (yeah, I'm racist), they are underestimating the number of asians. Therefore, they are also underestimating the POWER of the asians in the US. Also, the University of Michigan issued a questionnaire to VHM that didn't include a choice for "asians" in the "What race are you?" section, and only had "Asian Americans". So, in conclusion, there are far more asians than the general population of the US knows. They're all keeping they're eyes on the Mexicans, but in reality, there's a big threat right in their very own capital cities. And I don't know how the topic of "my schedule" turned into "Mexicans".
