Grades

[xp_daredevil]

WOOT!!! So, summer school. Sucked ass. I agreed to it, but I had no idea how much time it would take! Geez!

HOWEVER - I have successfully completed one semester of geometry, two semesters of English and one semester of computers with a B-, A and B+. Geometry (so far) has been easier than algebra! I can touch the shapes and that helps a lot!

This means that for the fall I'll be taking:

Chemistry
English III
American History
Spanish II
Dance (wth?)
Public Speaking
Geometry (2nd semester)

...that is awesome. and really, really helpful.

and yes, see, that's what I meant about the not taking PE thing. Because NY does not require it and all that.

we could do that with my powers. because until now we've been working mainly on control, but...I'm getting decent at it now.

Yeah, my prof said they have a bunch of specialized PE classes for people who can't take regular PE in some places but we don't have the staff here so it'll have to be like, tailored just for you.

Really? I've never had that. I did gymnastics for years at the Y, but never competed or anything. I wasn't supposed to take it, technically, because I was blind, but the lady who ran it was a friend of my dad's and she let me fool around anyways. I've always been exempt at school though.

The way I understood it and dude I got a B in the class, was that they're required to try to accommodate you first, and if they can't, then they pull it from your requirements but the city's got some programs for people with disabilities but PE's a bitch to setup for kids with vision issues cause there's a lot of risk.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Yeah, basically. The school I used to go to didn't want to fool with it. Sounding balls are expensive and all that for one kid. And I'm too over qualified for special ed PT or whatever.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I gotta feeling your IEPs got stuff in it you're not, uh, no offense intended, seeing. If they pulled you outta PE and didn't want to let you take it, it's more than just the blind thing. They could've made you run laps or something if it was just the blind thing, or do weight training.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Maybe? They explained it to me before I came here, but I wasn't paying attention so well.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Hey, as long as you're up for self-defense we can work it out with the Prof, and with Lex and Cal to make sure it works for you and I'd bet Kurt's got a plan already in place for you and Dance.

Yeah, I didn't pay attention to mine until interpreting it turned into an extra credit assignment for my class last semester. I had some overlapping stuff like WHOA. Extended test time, distraction-free setting but background noise because I've got issues with like really quiet rooms and geez, I feel bad for Doc Samson and the Prof when they wrote that thing up.

Why wouldn't I be interested? it seems needed around here! He probably does. School doesn't start for a week or so I'm not thinking about school at all for a while.

Um...are you taking a class like that this fall?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

It kinda is yeah.

Nope. I'm taking a bunch of education stuff like Classroom Management and crap, and my last history requirement. Why?

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I was just wondering if I could go with you one day next week maybe? Are you in school next week?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we started already, so I'm in classes every day except Monday - what's up? I can totally bring you, I'm just curious.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Just curious about college. My dad always wanted me to go.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, you can totally tag along. Lemee clear it with my profs, so Thusday's probably better so I can let them know on Tuesday but I'm pretty sure they won't mind.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Okay. Thanks.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Sweet. You can totally confirm for me that the one lab smells like feet. It does and NO ONE BELIEVES ME.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

uh...sure?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

My one class is in a computer lab. It smells like feet. I'll buy you lunch to make up for it though.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

Reasonable. Done.
