PSAT
Posted Saturday October 20 2007, 2:57 pm
15/f. Sophomore.
I took the PSAT about a week ago. There was only critical thinking/reading, math, and I'm not sure what the other section was called, but it was like grammer and choosing the right word. Are these the only subjects on the SAT? What about science? History?
On the math test, there was multiple choice, and then there was fill in. It was if you missed any math that wasn't multiple choice, it wouldn't count agaist you. How can it not count? What's the point of it?
One last question. What's a good score to get? A bad one? How many is it out of?
Any answers appreciated.
Thanks!!

Need ideas, please!
Posted Friday October 19 2007, 7:04 pm
I need to do a National History Day project for school. We can pick any topic, as long as it didn't happen in the United States. The theme this year is 'conflict and compromise'.
I really like ancient Greece and Rome, maybe something with that? I'm not sure of specific battles/conflicts from those periods, so that's why I'm here. Any ideas would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance :)

Community Service Projects
Posted Thursday October 18 2007, 7:14 pm
I'm apart of an Interact club at school and we are required to do two community service projects per semester (I think that's how it goes). As seniors we are required to do more than the underclassmen. My friends and I (about 4 of us) want to volunteer at a retirement home or a hospital to help sick children or something along those lines. Who would we have to contact to do something like that? Would be allowed to volunteer at a place like that? We want to spend time with people and play games with them or listen to them talk, just be there and "hang out" with them. What if we were to do something such as cleaning a strip of the highway? How would we go about doing that? Would there be specific dates in which we could do it or cou...

am I trying too hard in school?
Posted Wednesday October 17 2007, 10:00 pm
15/f. Unlike most of the people in my academic classes, I work my ass off trying to get As and Bs. And usually I succeed at that. But to what extent? Getting 5-4 hours each night, not having ANY time to do ANYTHING on the weekends, and being a social outcast in my friends' eyes.
On the other hand; the majority of my peers don't do crap. They don't read. They don't study. They don't do homework. They don't care. They get out with Cs and Ds. Yet, it doesn't bother them.
How is this so? Am I doing something wrong? Is there some kind of change in the way teens are supposed to function or something? I heard doctors say that teens should get 7 hours of sleep. Yet I don't. And I really want to. I want to be able to j...

How to be polite in this situation...
Posted Tuesday October 16 2007, 6:30 pm
I'm a senior in high school and part of a requirement to graduate is a project in which I have to have 15 hours with a mentor. The mentor I chose was my mothers boss. She's always been friendly and she agreed to do it. Unfortunately for me, my mother found employment with another company and quit yesterday (Monday). Her boss wasn't happy. The company is attemptig to refuse to pay my mother money owed to her, they're all in a big fight. Her former boss signed a "contract" in order to be my mentor and agreed to continue meeting with me becuase she doesn't back down from a committment. This puts me in a really difficult place. I still plan on meeting her and whatnot, but I'm not sure how to act. I want to be polite. I also know that ...

Extracurriculars
Posted Tuesday October 16 2007, 5:58 pm
I'm from the UK and I know in the US colleges focus quite a bit on what extracurricular activities you have. There's only one college I'm applying to in the US but it's my first choice so I'd really like to think I have a shot at this.
Problem is, my school doesn't offer extracurricular activities and this may be hard to belive but there's no after school activities available in my town (other than academic help which I don't need and sports which I'm not able to do due to health).
The college I'm applying to is an arts college but I'm going for fashion management and they mostly focus on your activites and personal statement, rather than grades.
I'm a sophomore right now and the only extracurricular I ...
