omg remembering names and ppl is so hard! Hey kavi which state in australia are you from? And another random question.... what on earth would you even WRITE in a med essay?

[piglover4551]

Hey Kavi, hope you finish your essay soon!!! My thesis statement is for the DBQ we have to do in AP Euro. It's on Greeks ands the rule of the Ottoman Turks.

I want to take latin in college though, its such a neat language!!

Do you already learn Latin? If not, be warned! It's so hard and boring!!! I'm taking it as an extra GCSE but its soooo hard. Honestly! From one single word you can get about a whole sentence, just by looking at the ending of the word. But if you really like languages you may enjoy it.:)

hey kavi, thats sounds interesting!at least, thats the plan.. not sure if i'm up to it! lol
Ap Euro in the US is Advanced Placement European History, DBQ's are Document Based Questions, you basically get a bunch of documents on a certain time period or event, they tell you how they want you to write about..sorta ...lol....and then you have to form a thesis statement and all that good stuff!!Mine turned out to be 5 pages..yikes...when I start writing sometimes I can't stop myself :rolleyes: anyways.....back to what i as saying..ap euro is basically a college class...at the end of the yr we take the exam and if we pass we get college credit for it..not that i really plan on a career that will need extensive euro history..but its better than taking world geography honors which is a waste of a class:D and besdies..looks good on a college transcript..that is if it doesnt kill me first!!!:o :D :p
Basically in the Us for class there are normal, then honors, and then AP and IB classes, sorta goes like that...but those aren't for college mind you....wow..i wonder if this sounds as confusing as it looks....:confused: :D

anyways....I really hope you get your essay done soon!!!!!!:D

I was gonna take AP Euro senior year (they kinda mixed up the history classes order at my high school; AP U.S. comes before AP Euro), but I'm planning on majoring in math, so I don't think colleges will care as much if I don't have the credit....:D:D So no history senior year!

Thyroids are interesting! I read an article just a few days ago actually on how increased levels of obesity may be resulting in higher incidence of Graves's disease. Those wacky hormones...! :p

Queensland hmmm... trade you a banana for some strawberries?

At our school they messed it all up too. Last year sophmores took it but this yr freshmen are taking it...but I absolutely love my AP teacher!! She is so much fun, she knows like everything and always goes off talking bout everything in much more detail...she should write a histroy book! But we are really lucky that we have a teacher to teach it that actually knows what she's talking about. My biology teacher is pretty retarded. We are doing a project on endangered species...and she gave us a list to chooose animal from..and 1/2 of them weren't even endangered..its just sad really
