i have insomnia, therefore ib.

it's a little strange, but i'm actually starting this semester much more on top of things, despite my maniacal teachers' willful homework-giving. it's very satisfying. the most worrisome classes are english and social studies. english, where i feel like i'm the only person that's freaked out that we have to present in a few days and we're not ready; social studies where three different assignments are pending at any given time, including internal assessments that're killer, for all their rumored "simplicity." biology is deceptively easy, with ecology being the dumbest unit ever (i did it back in mrs. stewart's 10th grade class, as a freshman), and with a sub that is, well, sub-par. fortunately, according to natalie, bio is much easier (and somewhat more interesting) senior year. physics is FINALLY getting to be more fun, but is also getting harder. sooooo many equations!!!
