31. EXTRA CREDIT post #5

Okay, I give up on trying to write about writing in all my classes. I said that before I realized that we only do math in math class, and that most of my previous posts are already about writing in English. So, what else have I done? I still never got around to finishing those books I promised to read over the summer. I got a new bookshelf and everything, but my books seem to be there just for display.. Such a shame, really. I got most of them years ago and they still haven't been opened. I feel bad for neglecting my books like this! I used to be such an avid reader..Before high school, I would go to the library almost every week during my summers, borrow the maximum number of books, read all of them, then return them to get more. I love reading so much, but I hate how I don't have the time.

So what can I say about AP Bio.. We don't do much writing; the essays only come around every so often. And they're not too hard to write either. You don't really need a defined structure in a Bio essay. All you need to do is answer all the questions in the prompt. No extra stuff at all. AT ALL. In English and history essays, you usually want to add some.. RAZZLE DAZZLE to make it sound better, but for Bio, they really just want you to be blunt. State the facts, and that's it. So yes, overall, they're easy to write. As long as you remember the information. That's the only thing.

French III! So in French, we don't do THAT much writing, but we do significantly more than we did last year. We have to write journal entires in French, which is pretty difficult! I'm not very good with grammar. It's so hard to remember everything I've learned throughout the past three years! AND I'VE LEARNED A LOT. There's so much to know.. Whenever we do those journals, I never get a completely perfect score. I always make some mistakes about conjugations, or tenses, or agreement.. MUCH TOO MUCH TO KNOW! But I can only imagine what it's like for people trying to learn English. I heard English is one of the most difficult languages to learn. And it seems to be, because there is so much MORE to know when you really think about it and compare it to other languages.

Hmm, what can I say about Photo II that pertains to writing.. Well, for that class, we have to take notes on Youtube about photography. At first, we just took notes of tutorials, which was pretty easy. But nowadays we have to take notes on slideshows and write more about how the photos evoke emotions. It's kind of difficult sometimes, becuase usually the videos are really short and I don't have much to say. And usually, they're not really photos that interest me in the first place. But I do my best to write enough.

I hope we don't need creative titles for our blog posts.. anyway, today I shall talk about what I've been doing for the past few months (that's associated to reading/writing). I think in 6 of these 10 posts, I'll talk about each of my classes. So.. I've been getting better at history essays! I think I actually have a chance at the APUSH exam.. That's the one I'm MOST hoping to pass, because I'm actually doing pretty well in history. I actually got an 8 on one of my essays. MY FIRST 8 IN ANY ESSAY EVER. That was such an exciting moment! DBQs aren't really my thing, but I really hope I improve by May. I NEED TO PASS THAT TEST. I got a 2 on my APWH exam last May and I felt like I wasted a year of my life struggling in a college class, because now I have to take it again in college.

26. Rememory

I think rememory means... remembering a memory. Like, remembering a memory you forgot. Something like that. You know when you see or hear something that suddenly reminds you of a memory you've forgotten? I'm guessing that's what rememory is. I always have specific memories of almost every person I know, and if I see or hear their names, I'll instantly think of that memory. I have this one friend who I went to Disneyland with two years ago. I remember we were by the California Screamin' and he was eating a chimichanga. I wasn't paying attention to what he was talking about, but for some reason I noticed when he said the word "chimichanga." So now whenever I hear his name I think of that time he said "chimichanga." How weird.

25. Style Analysis Essay

I seriously think my style analysis was one of the worst essays I've ever written. Do they have to write those in AP Lit? I really hope not. I hope the only other times I ever have to write one is for the final and the AP test. This one took me forever though so I'm pretty sure if I have to write one with a time limit it'll be even worse. It's so difficult for me to write.. ALL the paragraphs. I just don't understand rhetorical devices. I don't understand rhetoric. I wish I could just enjoy reading.
