    Still in Algebra II, so no experience with that.</p>

    Ah, I see. Well, if you're acing that, and you're a hard worker, I can't really see any reason why you'd have trouble in Calculus. It's pretty tough, though.</p>

    Personally, I hate it, and I'm not sure I completely understand it. Algebra and Geometry were easy for me, and then I came into Calculus...and I'm pretty lost.</p>

    Yeah, I have a 95 (half the class is failing). I'd have a 98, but I forgot to do a problem (I still had 10 minutes left).</p>

    Wow, half the class is failing? Sounds worse than my high school. And my school has ALOT of dumb kids, it's all-around one of the worst schools in the area.</p>

    Then again, I'm sure the school you go to has really high standards, and requires much, much more hard work to pass the class.</p>

    Sounds good, though.</p>

    Yeah, I hate Calculus, but I think that has more to do with us having daily assignments every day (since its under a high school context). I'm sure I wouldn't hate it as much if we didn't have so many assignments. If we just took an exam at the end of the semester, I'm sure I'd love it a lot more. I have a B in there, and am going to be stuck at that for this semester. I was working under the assumption that the final counted for around 40% of our grade, so I wasn't focusing too much on the quarter grades. I had like an 88.9% first quarter, and an 80.1% 2nd quarter. Final actually only counts for 10% : ( If I get my grade up to 89 percent in there, by swinging a 100 on the final (I always get one or two wrong on the math finals....getting above 95% on pretty much every math final). I just need to get my crappy assignment grade back up : D</p>

    1. What is your favorite sport?</p>

    Basketball, by far.</p>

    2. What is your favorite non-sports topic?</p>

    Writing, although I guess that almost cancels out because I only enjoy writing about basketball.</p>

    3. Provide one random fact about yourself?</p>

    I eat muffins with a fork out of a bowl.</p>

    8 people have dropped it. 2 more are.</p>

    I haven't studied for that class. :/ I'm finding it easy.</p>
