The Ratings

So you ask... What are the ratings and why do you do them? It's very simple- the ratings are just a listing of my teachers and how they stand in my favor on any given day. I started doing them because I just started putting curses on my teachers through my AIM profile, and I just got a kick out of it, so I made it into a regular thing. Thank you to anyone who has encouraged me to keep this up, between my great supporters and the few (hopefully only 2) teachers who actually know about this, it has been a blast trying to entertain you guys for 16 weeks of this school year. See you again next year!

Just FYI, honestly, I don't hate any of my teachers... Well at least not most of the time! =) So hopefully if any of them are reading this, they do not take offense! It is all meant in the spirit of fun.

And now, without further delay...

Seeing as how it's Thanksgiving, I ought to list out all the school related things that I am thankful for, and maybe a few non-school things, too. I am thankful for: Finishing our journalism planning session, not having a Stats test on Wednesday, getting out my letters for ASB, not doing anything new in Econ, killing time in Kasper's class, Carter not collecting problems, tennis being over, a full year of Holmes/Fossum/Watkins/Joo (and half a year of Hughes)--which I'm soooo sorry it's all over, the friends that keep me sane (especially at around 2 am, or even just 11 pm), senior priveledges, getting to go to a Board conference next weekend and stay in the Embassy suites, and of course this wonderful four day weekend.

And of course, I am thankful for all these glorious people (in no particular order):
The fam, the cool teachers (Holmes, Fossum, Watkins, Joo, Hughes, Ryan, Feher, Hayden, Coulter and Bell), my glorious friends--Joanna, Vania, Karen, Margaret, Michelle, Maggie, Jen Sung, Jen Rhee, Bruce, Elaine, Chad, Eric, Parker, Amie, Erin, Jonathan, Lauren, Tim, Christina, Crystina, Melissa, Miranda, Tsai, Mai, Tania, Suz, Mike, Nish, Lynn, Mona, Kelly, and Scott. You all brighten my life so much, and I love you all!!

Week Beginning 11/13/01

Well, for once I have a little bit of time in the afternoon... AMAZING! (Sadly, I'm putting it to bad use sitting here and writing this. Oh, well, I get complaints that there's never anything new up, so I'm trying. Here's the tally for the day:
0-I'm a miserable failure of an editor, sadly. But as the moto goes- "It'll get done."
1-Stats test was cake, and no homework. Not to mention I own bragging rights cuz I finished before Eric. Boo-yeah! Haha. How lame am I? Very!
2-ASB is always good. Daily walks to Mrs. Ting!
3-Econ is generally boring, though no Terry is an improvement. Sadly, I think we're learning too much.
4-Kasper hates my guts, what's new? I'm screwed for my essay due tomorrow cuz she don't like me style... And aside of that, I don't interpret things and I'm not a reader. Screw English! The entire world should be about math! Face the facts, Kasper- writing an analytical essay (quotes and all) is a MATHEMATICAL process!!
5-Physics makes me feel stupid. Enough said.
6-Tennis is over. Thank god.

Week Beginning 11/05/01

Well, I'm stupid. Maybe Carter's right. I just passed up a chance to play CIF for tennis to be in Physics. (And also so that I can go home, clean my car, and take a nap before I have to go drive to the Pete Yorn concert.) I guess it's good that I'm gonna get some rest, cuz if I don't, then I might get in an accident, which is bad. Anyway, on to normal ratings:
0- Journalism- Deadline is coming up too fast, I need another week.
1- Stats- Ms. Lee is getting nicer, but I still don't think Stats is math.
2- ASB- Never really had a problem. And I actually like the daily walks to Mrs. Ting's office.
3- Econ- Good bye, Terry! I love having Mrs. Stapelbroek, she's soooo much better. At the same time, I still don't feel like I understand stuff enough.
4- English- Too much feminism. I think I'm becoming a chauvenist just to rebel against Kasper. But then again, I'm not entirely chauvenist, I just want to oppose her. Rather, suck up without giving in.
5- Physics- I'm dying, I feel stupid. I hate it. We'll leave it at that. I've got 5 problems to do tonight. Boo-hoo.

Week Beginning 10/29/01

Well, good bye, Terry! Yay... we've finally been relieved of all the terror and horror that Economics AP has presented in the past few weeks. We can now walk into English in good humor and ready to discuss literature, or at least that's what Kasper thinks. Hopefully things will be good once we get our new teacher. Aside of that, I'm just missing junior year more and more. Been doing a lot of analyzing of myself as well as the people around me, and I must say, I'm amazed at the conclusions I have come too. I have learned a lot about myself by simply stepping back and examining my actions around certain key people. I think I'll write a journal entry about that tonight instead of taking a bubble-bath. =) Well, I have tons of physics problems to do (and even more Physics to understand since I left today entirely baffled by most of what Carter said), so I better get to that. I apologize that I have not had time to update this site more often. Hopefully once tennis is over or after college apps are finished. Until I find time again, ciao!

Week Beginning 10/22/01

I still don't like any of my classes really. I'm finding Journalism good merely because it poses a great challenge. But all my other classes are down in the gutter. In the mean time, I'm occupying myself with extracurricular activities and college apps, which are SUCH a pain. And just think... I'm not the only one working on it. I've got three teachers, my counselor, and Joanna all writing letters of recommendation. Dang... so much just to get into stinking college. Of course the essays... Here's what I'd like. If any of you are out there and wouldn't mind reading my app. essays, here's a link to a page where I will eventually post them up. Maybe read them and tell me what you think? Dunno. Here's the link, and here I go to go grab some Dreamery Ice Cream and set down to start my UC essay.
