About Me

Hello. I'm currently a high school student living in southern California. I'm not one to talk much about myself. I'll leave it to you to figure me out. Don't ask me though, I'm afraid even I don't know myself all that well yet.

    Finally a sophomore.

    Today started out all grey and drizzly. Was it an omen? Now that I think about it, I think so? So what's so special about today? Shouldn't you've seen the title a week ago. The answer is no, not really. My school is different, remember? Check the last post, and you'll see what I have to do to be a sophomore.

    Read it? Well, if you're too lazy, it's my Transitional Interview of Learning. It's where we have to prep for it 3 weeks before, and then do it. Explanation after the jump.

    A TIoL is basically just having an interview with one of your teachers about how you grew this year in the Habits of Heart and Mind. Well, that's what they said it was. It's different for every student, and the teacher. I got my Humanities teacher, and it was alright. I went in, prepped, waited with a tutor and friend for my teacher to come back from the bathroom. And then we got started. I gave my speech, the questions flew, mostly about me becoming a better leader, and then I waited for a few minutes outside. The result?

    I passed. But barely. Only because I was nervous and I stumbled over my words a bit. She told me that I was a great student, and she liked the fact that I only wanted to be a leader so I can help people. She told me to be more myself and be more confident. It was great, I passed, and I got to play Mario Party on the computer x] So cool that our IT was okay with the idea of putting Project64 on the external hard drive.

    Over the summer, I also get to become a Summer Bridge leader for incoming freshman. It's going to be in July, and it got bumped down a week or so, so it conflicts with Comic-con. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna go yet or not. :p

    All for now.

    Yay for passing!!

    I can't imagine doing these TPIoLs now let alone back when I was in 9th grade. It's sooooo stressful.

    My post about 11:12am was written during your TPIoL. The forced guffaw was your advisor. I'm sure you can imagine what that sounded like.

    Anyway I'll hopefully see you tomorrow.
