Holy Crap!

All of those times that I complained about the IB program...all of that work that tested every inch of my sanity...it finally paid off! I got my IB diploma! 26 points in all!

I didn't get any points for my extended essay or my TOK essay, but that's okay, because I knew they were crap anyway. Hahaha. But I got a 5 in History! I thought I would get a 3 in that class, because I didn't do so well in the class (mostly B's in the class and C's and D's on the tests). But I guess I bullshitted well enough on the IB exam that I got a 5! Ahh, the powers of BSing.

Oh, and on a slightly related note, I got a 5 on my AP Psychology exam! I'm so happy about that one, because that was the exam that mattered. If I didn't do well on that exam, then my plans for the future would probable be shot. The cool thing about it was that I actually had fun while taking the exam. It was enjoyable to me! Haha I guess that's a sign that I'm going into the right profession, eh?

Whatever...

I'm not gonna finish my Forks bloggings. Lol. Mostly because I'm lazy.

But...here's an update on IB-ness: CAS stuff has been turned in, though I still have a couple forms to turn in to my coordinator by next week. I talked to her, and even though everything was due, like, two months ago, she's fine with it. She's behind on the paperwork anyway, so it's not like it matters. XD

My IB art exam is done! Yay! No more art stuff! It went really well, too. The examiner really liked my photography- she kept on complimenting the angles, the lighting, the composition, everything. She said, "I have a feeling that with you, you just point, click, and the pictures just turn out amazing. Is that right?" Sheepishly I replied, "Yeah, kinda." HA! I wonder if points would get taken off because of that...probably not. Though she didn't ask me about all of my projects, and I did wonder about that, but my art teacher said not to worry about that. She listened to the whole thing and she said that I did a great job. That made me feel a bit better.

So that's two IB exams down, four to go. I have English, Biology, Spanish, and History left, as well as an AP Psychology test on May 12th, but I'm not too worried about that one. I have an A in the class (right now) and Psychology is sort of my thing, so with some studying I should get a pretty good score on my exam. I'm very worried about Spanish, History and Biology, though. I'm studying with some friends for the Bio test and attending Spanish and History review sessions, but I feel like it's not enough. I need to do more studying! Grr. I hate History and Spanish so much though...they're both so boring and confusing at the same time, and I can never remember anything in either of the classes. It's a wonder that I have a B in History. I'm not too surprised that I have a C in Spanish, though. It's those homeworks that I keep on losing. I need to get more organized. I think that if I study enough for Bio, I should be okay. I don't mind that class, now that I have a competant teacher, even if I am getting a C. It's a high C, though, and I'm fairly confident that I can bring it up to a B in a short amount of time. Especially since now we're entering the behavioral part of the curriculum, and that's when stuff blends over into Psychology. Excellent. ^_^

The year is coming to a close. I've been accepted to the one university that I applied to (which made me extremely happy), and graduation is a little more than a month away. My IB days are numbered.
