This quarter went pretty well for me. I could have done better in most of them, but i feel like overall i put my best foot forward and really put in some major effort. I've learned a lot so far. In English I've learned how to properly cite things (I hope), and I've learned more about my flaws as a writer and how to improve them. I haven't learned much in French class, it's basically a lot of review right now. In band I've met a lot of new people, both in my grade and others, so that's always neato. In chemistry I've learned a whole lot of chemistry, and in math i'm re-learning things from last year that I can't really remember. Finally in AP Euro I've learned more about Europe than any one person should ever know in a life time, but it's actually really cool.
The class that I'm struggling the most in right now would be AP Euro. While the homework isn't terrible, whenever I feel like I REALLY know something it always turns out that I didn't know it as well as I thought, or that Mr. Baron always finds some way to be horribly mean and throws together a whole bunch of random facts in the form of a quiz. They scare me. Class environment is really enjoyable. I feel like I am somewhere where I can really listen and pay attention and also feel free to voice my opinions and to socialize every now and then. To strengthen my learning in the classroom I'm pretty sure that the only thing I can do would be to get more sleep so that I'm actually awake when the teachers are speaking to me. Somehow I've just got to make the day longer... that would be a big help. My goals for quarter two are to try to get my homework done earlier in the day so that I can get more sleep, and also to try to resist the temptation of watching The Simpsons, Family Guy, and That 70s Show instead of going upstairs and going to bed. I'm working on it.

Kelly, very nice :)
i like the title by the way. Your reflection was very thourough and clear. I get the idea that you're pretty keen on accomplishing your goals. I can relate to some of these things too, Especially the AP Euro part. I'm not all that into those quizzes either, nor do I get much sleep.
Well done Kelly.
Kelly, I think it's awesome that you're learning so much this year and are doing well in class while having a good time. I really like high school so far too. I feel like I'm learning many things too but not without effort! High school is hard, but I think it's paying off. Nice debrief
Kelly, I loved the title! I've iodlized Austing Powers since our first introduction when I was about six years old. Anyways that title totally excited me to read more blogs, but I'm sorry to say, the other title's paled in comparison. The debreif was nice and through as well.
Ah yes, the siren call of repeats of the "Family Guy" and "The Simpson's", always hard to resist! It's great that you have learned more writing skills and have gotten better as a writer in general.
HAHAHAHAHA! Goodness gracious, Kelly! You have a natural talent of making my day, seriously. Your blog's title made me chuckle quite a bit! Anywho, I'm glad to see that your first quarter was a success. I agree with the whole "citing" thing, I have trouble with that myself... Oh, and I totally agree with the sleep issue, though since the play's done (*sniff, sniff...SOB!!!*), that should help a bit. So...yea...that's about it... This is T to the E to the double D, Y, signing off. ; )
