Grade 11 is a very intensive year to me. I didn't make a very wise choice when I did my course selection by choosing AP European History, because history is my weakest spot. I was going to take AP Calculus AB, but it couldn't fit into my schedule, so I ended up taking it at an academy. The good thing is that I found AP Economics easy, which alleviated some pressure on me.
The class that cost most of my time this year is AP European History. This course has a very heavy homework load and intensive readings. Despite the fact that I spent a lont time studying for this course, I didn't manage to get an A. But my mark did improve a lot from the beginning of the year. The other challenge is Law 12. Although Mr. McDonald's classes are very enjoyable and funny, his ten-page-long quizes are not very easy to handle. But considering the little amount of work that we do in law, it's a very easy credit.
Chemistry and physics are the easiest courses to me this year. I enjoy doing labs and experiments, and feel especially exited when I'm able to figure out how to solve some difficult questions. But my favorite course is still Economics. Ms. Karcz is a very good and encouraging teacher, and I feel very lucky to have her because I learnt a lot from her indeed. I also showed some improvement in English this year. Most of the essays I wrote got As, and the speech this year was so much better than last year. And my English teacher, Mr. Streit, is much nicer than how he seems to be. I respect him because he is a very responsible teacher.
My goal this year was to maintain an A in all the subjects, maybe with the exception of European History. I'm very glad that I got the School Color Academics for this year. I consider this academic year very productive and efficient.
