this week

Oh! My! Gosh! It’s finally the end of first week of school after coming back from winter break. This week has been a little shaky and easy, because i still did not get use to the school work the teachers were giving, i felt like i was still in vacation mode -for example, not caring if i had to do homework-. During this week i still felt a little lazy doing my work early, going to bed at right time, and just getting used to that i have school again.

Going back to school this week, felt like the first day of school during the fall semester. For example, seeing everyone again, seeing their new hair style, new clothes, and new shoes. The only thing that was different was the upper class-men and sophomores did not have to meet new people. Since we saw each other each day from first semester, this week was mostly like a family reunion. For example, everyone is catching up with each others' stories during the break, talked about how winter break was boring, and et caetera. It was mostly for people to talk about their winter break.

The first week back the sophomore class did fun stuff their classes and in addition found out some new that could affect the student’s grades. For instance, three out of five teachers are now making their grading scales to much more difficult. As an example Ms. Ronit, she is not going to include the Daily Learning Activities (DLA) which are homework, citizenship, participation, and attendance. She is not dividing that ten percent to test, quizzes, and labs and projects.So now, she raised up the percentage and we cannot depend of our DLA anymore. Also that this week we dissected a sheep’s heart in anatomy and physiology class, will be reading a new book in English, and will be doing a project for US History class. As a result this semester will be much more serious and tough.

This whole week was mainly for us to get our minds refocus on school again because this semester would be much more challenging. The teachers just gave us the basic lessons that they would be teaching and future grading in our projects, essays, tests, quizzes, and exams. The entire first week was about the teachers giving each of the class to information on how second semester would be like.
