Im SO EXCITED but also a little nervous. anyways i hope we win becuase if we dont i am going to be really upset. We plan to beat Burlingame and i think we will! I heard that in this quad there are supposed to be over 500 people attending, This means people are going to have to come really early to get seats. If we win im am going to be so happy and so is my sister because this is her last quad game. Oh also its senior night tonight and i am my friend are making candy leighs for them!!! yumm candy!

Rally


Today we had a Home Going Rally. I attended the rally first period. The rally was really fun. There were a lot of performances like Encore, Team Rocket, and the Academy of Villains. They were all dance groups and they preformed well. Also the teachers danced to Beat It by Micheal Jackson it was really funny! There was also a contest between the Sophamores, Seniors, Juniors, and Freshmen. It was an ice cream eating contest and it looked and was very messy. My friend Priya did the contest. We lost but it was okay. Also in the rally they announced the seniors on the sports teams like basketball, soccer, cheerleading, and wrestling. Alltogether it was a good Rally.

balancing equations


Last week in Chemistry we learned how to balance equations. We got a pink packet called RXNS! in it was power points of how to balance equations, ways to increase reactions rates, evidence that a reaction had occurred, and more. The power points really helped. I learned when balancing equations you can only change the coefficients not the subscripts. Also in the packet there were problems with chemical equations that were not balanced. We had to balance them. It was pretty easy.Check out this website for help on balancing equations!

chem test


So we took a test on solutions and ph in chemistry. We have been learning about solutions and ph in chemistry class for about two weeks, i think. When i have tests for any classes i usually do not study which is pretty bad, but for the solutions and ph test i decided to study the day before because my chem grade was on the border line of a high B plus and and low A minus. And i really wanted an A in the class. I understood this section pretty well, but i needed to do studying on equations. The day of the test i heard a lot about it. I heard that the test was pretty hard and then i heard it was easy. I did not know what to think. When taking the test the cbook really helped me, i even put chemsitry related information in the wild cards, ,that helped me as well. During the test i thought i did pretty well. I was really nervous to look on schoolloop to see what i got on the test. And when i did i was excited because i did pretty well on it. i got a low A and this pushed my over all grade to a A minus. Check out this link i used to study from. ph/ solution.
