Weekend To-Do List


YES, so glad French is done. :) Now, back to the normal rigors of IB. Sigh.

As usual, I must make some kind of a to-do list:
  • Saturday: piano, EXERCISE, do CAS forms, plan bio lab, plan EE, study math, study bio, [maybe] look at English quotes
  • Sunday: driving, metro/DT library/Phosphy [might not happen anymore! T_T], study math/bio
Sigh. At least there's only 3 weeks left until SUMMER. :D

Post-Trip Lethargy

Ahh, the feeling of post-trip lethargy... It's a sort of laziness and melancholy mixed in with each other. Basically, what happens is I come home from a trip and feel kinda sad yet somewhat tired, and although I have stuff to do, I don't feel like doing it. How bad it is depends on how good the trip was. If it was crappy like Idaho, I'll love being home. On the other hand, if it was awesome like Whistler just was or Cuba, then I'll be pretty sad to be home. Home may be where the heart is, but it's also where all my work is.

I guess Whistler was a much better trip this time around, even though the rooming arrangements were kinda... sad. Luckily, since I have my new work-like-a-dork attitude, when they all ignored me in one room, I was able to pull out biology or French and do it. Yes, it does sound sad, but it is true. Once, they had a deep guy conversation in one bed for about 4 hours, and I did a paper 1, an AP French essay, and read some French mags. Because I'm cool like that.

Today at school, I passed by a sign that had a countdown until the 31 Hour Famine.

That's the day right after our French exam.

11 days. 1.5 weeks.

World of IA

http://s.spachman.tripod.com/images/openbook.jpg

So after my French exam, I basically have a stack of IAs to finish before the summer. I guess it's out of the frying pan, into the fire, eh? At least I won't have to constantly worry about French... Haha. I need to keep track of what's happening, so:
  • Biology Homeostasis Lab: "Homeostatic mechanisms greater in males or females?" Due 2nd week of June (shall we say... the 12th is my ideal due date?) Can't forget the biology final either - SIGH.
  • History IA: To what extent was the Cuban Revolution supported by ordinary Cubans? (due September now - but maybe I'll try to finish by the END of the school year). Plus a History paper 3 essay in a couple of weeks..
  • English World Lit 1: economy and value in "Metamorphosis" and "Ivan." Due sometime during the beginning of exam week... gotta get a head start on this!
  • TOK Essay: #1; edit, revise, hand in!
  • Math Portfolio Type 1: Get it tomorrow, due on the 8th. Eek!
  • EE: Pick topic in MUSIC - get at least the research outline and topic thing done before school ends.
  • CAS : Get Outreach/C-Club forms done - Yay, I got something done y'all!
Fun, fun, fun!

Now we all know what two letters "Fun" begin with...
