Another Lanyard

So after a long a long two weeks of not wearing a lanyard, I now have a lanyard I will be wearing almost daily now on. I now have my dot books (personal instructions), worn on a lanyard for marching band, meaning also that my summer has come to an end. This week is band camp, and after that school starts, and with it, all my my extra curricular activities, homework, and social life (as if I had one) will take up probably 16 hours every day with the other 8 reserved for sleeping. So I want to wish you all a good rest of the summer and school year as I head into the most grueling year of the IB program at my school. Hope to keep hearing from you guys.

    Are you going into junior year? I've heard that one's the worst. Good luck on the EE and CAS!

      Yep. Junior year, the year where you write 5+ IAs, start your EE, and do a CAS project (so many acronyms). The only thing lucky about it is that you don't take any IB tests. And it starts for me in only 6 days

    Oh, the juniors. I go to an IB school too, so I feel for you. Yesterday I was at an amusement park that kinda reminds me of Elitch's (I think Elitch's is a little bigger, but the setup was fairly similar), and I kept feeling like I was missing something-a lanyard.

      In short, a really intense high school program that takes up all of 11th and 12th grade. I will be taking pretty much all the hardest classes my school has to offer at once (pretty much strait AP classes but harder).

    It's hard to explain...but it's this program they have in some high schools. I think what it wants is to give an international education or something. You have to take a language and do creativity, action, service hours and do a philosophy class and an extended essay and a bunch of other projects.

      It didn't let me finish so: there are also these rubrics that you get all your grades based on and most people hate them. IB, though, looks good to colleges and mostly only smart people get into IB programs.
