The lesson was moved to today and Freed isn't picking up his cell phone. I can't visit Caroline because of the Mini Mu and the recital, which actually overlap anyways so I REALLY can't visit her.
We survived another week of sophomoreness, so we have about two weeks to study for exams and we haven't even begun reviewing.
Anna had a little rant about study time, so here's mine.
The amount of time studying is inversely proportional to how much you understand the information and how easily you can process the extraordinary details that you need to make a very high A. At this school, most teachers don't really teach you the information, and for that, one needs to study more than just before a test to be safe. You can always cram the night before and it works, but you can't cram a lot of information so it depends on the class. There is no way of measuring studying by set hours such as "two and a half" or "five." You stop studying when you have a satisfying feeling that you understand everything and know the information that goes with it. The time it takes to do that is not something you can compare across classes. Anna may only need two and a half hours to cram for her math test, but I do not think Joseph would be able to successfully memorize a few chapters from his AP World History book in that time. It's all up to you, and if you don't feel like studying, it's your decision. Asian people do not all study five hours straight every day. That is a stereotype and I am proving this by not having done any homework today, and it's already 9:24am! There is no way I will be doing Euro for five hours straight. It would be extremely tedious and boring and worse than it already is.
The pep rally was a mediocre waste of school time. I really enjoyed how our classes were shorter, so I suppose it was okay. I talked to Lacey and Brianna part of the time. The acts didn't really contain much talent and some of them were very disturbing. After that, Jazz Band Reh went to 5pm, so it was still mandatory to stay at school actually doing something. This is further proof that I did not spend five hours studying because I went to bed at about 10pm and I had to have eaten dinner and checked my email and played around with my graphing calculator with MirageOS.
