Week 42

Are you feeling it? I'm feeling it. As I had heard this one random person today said, "I'm feeling it. It's in my vibe".
Well, I had my last 2 final exams for my freshman year. I was prepared for the Geometry exam because it was so, so easy. There were some tricky parts where it took me some time to figure out what I did wrong. Those moments where you get an answer and it's not one of the 4 choices, heh.
There was this one question on the test where I got an answer that wasn't one of the choices. I decided to just guess the answer to which I thought would be the most logical answer. Then soon after I figured out what I was doing wrong (I was doing the whole problem in pi, and not decimals) and I figured out the answer. Coincidentally, the answer I guessed was actually the correct answer anyway. I was like "Good guessing, Drew, good guessing".
To be honest, I probably got an A on that test, a solid A. I'd have to say, it's probably the easiest final exam I've taken so far. I signed up for Algebra II/Trigonometry for my sophomore year so I might have a bit of trouble. When everyone was done with their test, my teacher was like "Well, it's fun. I'm still gonna see you around, but it's been fun." I couldn't have said it better, Mr. Liao.
That's it for math, the final exam that I was most worried about was Geography. Didn't I tell you how I had a C in Geography back in like, February? That's why I did the 75 question study guide review, in which the teacher let us use during the test. Thank goodness I did do it.
On the board, the teacher wrote for us to number down on a piece of binder paper 1 to 40, then on the back, title it "Essays". I was like "40 questions only for the multiple choice? It's probably going to be pretty difficult questions then". Actually, I found out that those 40 questions were actually 40 things we had to label on the world map. I was like "Oh, well s***".
The teacher had us move our desks to random places around the classroom to prevent people from looking at other people's tests. He passed around to half of the class the map in which we had to label, and the other half of the class the actual multiple choice test which were 100 questions on a scantron sheet. This is also to prevent people from looking at other people's answers.
I got the multiple choice test first and I was "Yes" 'cause I always look through the questions to see if they contain answers for other questions. Not a bad strategy. Well, I started going through each question and I was like "Wait, these are just like the questions from that 75 question study guide". Apparently the questions were very similar to the questions on the study guide, but the answers to the questions were the same.
So thank goodness for me actually doing the study guide 'cause it helped me answer like, 70% of the questions. After I was done with the multiple choice, I gave it to the teacher and he gave me the map. It was the world map, containing, you guessed it, the world. 40 things to label, ranging from tropics, to capitals, to mountain ranges, to countries.
It took me just one look at the map for me to go "F***". It was the exact, I mean the exact, same map as the teacher had given us a week ago where he was like "Okay, test yourselves on the names of these places, and no looking in the book". At that time, I had to look in the book for like, half of the countries.
My worst enemy in terms of Geography, the maps. Good thing I had, well, "studied" in Geometry class on the world map before Geography. It took me a while to actually do some refined logical thinking for country names and such for the map. Oh, and that "studying", well I did study the locations of countries, and I also, uh, kinda wrote down the initials of some countries on my study guide.
It's not "cheating" okay? It's not like I drew a map containing all the countries in the world. I wrote down the initials on my study guide for me to study. It's not cheating. Everyone had to turn in their study guides after they've finished the tests anyway.
So back to the map, yeah, I finished it. I guessed on some though, making sure to think logically where countries are supposed to be. Then I flipped to the back side and it was "Essay". Why? This is Geography man, please.
The first essay we had to write, yes, first, as in the first of many (only 2), was on a region in which we learned the most from (Asia, Europe, Africa, Latin America, etc). I was originally going to pick Asia, not because I'm Asian, but because I'm Asian. But then I decided to go with Europe 'cause I was thinking about how I did on my presentation on Switzerland, and how Europe has WAY TOO MANY COUNTRIES.
I just wrote whatever, and on the next essay, which was to write on our culture and whatnot, I just wrote whatever for that too. My English teacher once said that people are more comfortable writing on what they want to write about, rather than a prompt like "Describe your culture". Who would want to write about that? By the way, I'd like to thank Mr. Anderson, my Geography teacher for the fun times during this semester.
After the test was over, people were standing and ready for the bell to ring. It did kinda felt like in the movies, where everyone's looking at the clock hands ready to strike 12, or at our school, 11 since I don't know why. I'll kinda miss this class since it was more enjoyable than some of my other classes. I think the talking was what made it interesting and the enthusiasm, along with Mr. Anderson's cool attitude.
Lots of people were hugging and taking pictures and I as like, well, this is it. I walked around the school a bit, kinda how I did back during the first semester when I had always arrived to school early. I was like "Yep, here comes the feels in 3... 2...- yep, there's the feels".
After I felt like I absorbed enough of the atmosphere, I walked to the back of the school, past the football field, crossing the road, and to my ride home.
This year, I did feel like it was kinda boring. But then again, there were a lot of events happening, I mean, enough events for me to write all these posts so far, heh. This year was more for me to get a taste of what it's going to be like.
I didn't talk much in any of my classes. Nope, can't think of class where I talked a lot. That's definitely something I want to change for next year. I also felt like I didn't say enough hellos. And, I need to speak louder since having such a deep voice, people could barely hear me and I could barely hear them. To them I sound like I'm murmuring.
Classes next year, please god, let there be some cute girls in my classes who sit next to me. Please make it a bit easier for me as it's already hard enough to even hold a small conversation. Please. That is all I wish for. Also having a couple of my buddies in my classes wouldn't hurt either.
Also I'm going to be working a job once I turn 16 this year on December 5th, and for the summer, I'll be volunteering at my local library. Remember kids, stay in school. Or libraries, those are okay too.
As for this blog, I'm not sure if I want to write EVERY single day of my summer. I mean, I don't do much all day. I'm not even kidding. A synopsis of each day would be "Drew is on the computer. Drew takes a few food breaks. Drew sleeps. Repeat". Not something I'd want to write paragraphs about.
But, I may be going to places every once in a while like going to go see a movie or go to Anime Expo 2014 or something. This is going to be a really long summer. When can school start again? Oh, no. The school year cycle, I'm feeling it already. NO.
Well, I don't really have much else to talk about here. That was my day and what I got planned. Oh, I almost forgot. I'd like to thank my English teacher, Mr. Masuda for being an awesome dude and making English, well, not boring I guess, haha. I'd also like to thank my 2nd semester Biology teacher, Mr. O'Connor, for not being too boring. Haha, I'm just kidding, he was a good dude and actually didn't give us too much work. That's awesome.
I'd also like to thank my first semester physical education teacher, Mr.Chen, for being himself. Also, my Drawing teacher, Ms. Walker, who is new here at my school. She's pretty chill and actually cared about her students. Laid-back and helpful, she made class very relaxing, and not in a boring way actually.
Thank you for being with me so far, Drew, myself. Thanks for being there whenever I talked to myself. And thank you little voice in my head, for whenever I needed to argue with myself ("And thank you, Drew, for being a whiny little-" "Shut up conscience").
And my buddies, thanks to all of them for, well, being my buddies haha. And thank you to all the girls who rejected me so far. Without your help, I wouldn't have tried this far. See you all, uhh, whenever I feel it or when school starts again.
Oh, and if a girl's interested in ya, just brush off that thought, 'cause it's not true, so don't be on with her.
