EQT Presentations #2

I prayed to my God for improved presentations today. I prayed with all my might that something would garner my interest and someone would have a good idea of what they were talking about. God was on vacation. There were some better presentations, yes, but the majority were average at best and it took everything I could muster to not bash my head in on my desk. I have yet to go yet, but I hope to do a much better job, or at least put a bit more passion in it. Though it would be painfully hilarious to complain only for me to give a horrible presentation!

EQT Presentations

It was that fated day, the day to sit through presentations and feign interest. Although I prefer this to a paper test, it is still immensely boring and difficult to stay awake! I hate to be such a complainer, but the presentations were quite mediocre, despite the few funny moments that got a chuckle from me. At least with the normal EQT I could possibly take a nap afterwards.

What Happened? Who Knows!

I had a splendid field trip today, and I was gone the entire day. Dissecting a squid at the Sea Lab was much more preferable to sitting in class contemplating the repercussions of sleeping at my desk! By the time I returned, it was time to go home and procrastinate on my assignments. The usual routine.

Assistance With The Assignment

With the EQT coming up, it was no surprise that the objective for today was to go over it. Thankfully, it will not be a multiple choice test, but rather a PowerPoint presentation. I know for a fact I will procrastinate on it, like I do on every project I receive, but it is still preferable to a test! My teacher gave a nudge in the right direction for a credible source, so I am ninety-five percent positive I will have little trouble with this. All I need to do is practice speaking correctly.

A Single Question

As the title explains, the day was mostly spent on one question. I am not complaining at all, since the question allowed me to have a reflection on myself, and a peaceful day. That was my day. That was it. Honestly, it was a great day after the more stressful previous days.

Multiple Choice Disasters

I would love to positively reflect on this day, but aside from the humorous moments that made me chuckle, I can not say I learned much today, at least not anything that would help me on multiple choice tests. Yet I somehow learned about car insurance, life insurance, and remembered the one man who gouged out his eyes in the bible. A fruitful day. I am still poor at choosing the best answer and I know it will reflect on future tests, especially the ACT coming up. Worried is an understatement for my current feeling.

Multiple Choice Failures

Do I find it amusing that today's lesson was entirely restructured due to low scores on a short multiple choice assignment? The answer is a bittersweet yes. I got one of the highest scores, but was ashamed to have only a C-. What good is a higher score than my classmates if it is not up to my personal standards, as well as my teacher's? I was glad we went over the assignment, though I am still underqualified in multiple choice. If only I could stay for tutoring, but I am always busy!

Choices That Just So Happen To Be Multiple

Today was a straightforward day, nothing too complex or taxing; I practiced with multiple choice today, trying to put forth elimination methods. Judging from results, I could still use some skills in that category, as well as experience in analyzing a poem. Multiple choice questions always were difficult for me, but I am not too beaten up about it, it is just something I have yet to polish up.

AP Stands For Answer The Prompt

My teacher would give applicable information when half of the class was not present. How do I feel about that? Why, I'm glad! Less students mean less obstructions! I was steadily taken through more do's and do not's of creating essays for the AP Exam, and I garnered a bit of confidence for myself. The essay that got an eight could likely be a level of standard I can match if I simply pace myself. Once I learn how to read the sources faster, I will be a force to be reckoned with. In writing.

Perspectives

My teacher was not here, so my class and I were kidnapped by another teacher. I was disgruntled at first, but after a little interactive lesson on perspectives in history, I was less dismayed and I also enjoyed it! Considering I never knew my teacher would be absent, it was a pleasant surprise.

Essay Prompts and a Thesis

It is back to the old grind of school, oh golly gee I sure am happy. I spent the day looking at a sample prompt regarding monuments , going over how to make a thesis statement, skimming through the sources, and understanding what is being asked of me. I still need assistance with the "topic, point, claims" or whatever it is called when making a thesis statement, but aside from that, the day was pleasant.
