My co-years:

We are at the final hurrah.
I am sad.

This is a little late due to technical difficulties and a lack of Internet access...

I AM DONE WITH EXAMS!!!!!!!!

No more past papers,
no more sitting at my desk for obscene hours of the day,
no more guilty feeling when I do something other than study,
no more cramming of knowledge into my saturated brain,
no more panic about the things I have forgotten,
no more terror of looking at a question I can't answer,
no more stress-induced-grumpiness,
no more exams!

It is a very liberating and strange feeling. I have been working towards the ambiguous 'end of high school' for a long time and now that it is here, I am not completely sure what to do with myself. And my journey with the IB started almost 3 years ago.... so much has happen, so much has changed.

Unfortunately the happy end to exams means the very unhappy end to AC.
I will write more about that later, but for now I am going to lie on the grass and sign yearbooks and soak in the castle by the sea.

Trinity One

Yesterday I was accepted into the Margaret MacMillan Trinity One Program at U of T!!

This means that I will have two seminar classes a week in a class of only 25 learning about international relations.
The classes are based on research and discussion and we get to learn from some of the best professors and speakers at U of T.

I can't wait!!

the countdown continues

Peace and Conflicts - done!

Math - done!

Seven days left

ONE DOWN

This morning I had my first IB exam (if you ignore the two french exams I have already done...)
I am officially finished Peace and Conflicts.
It feels wonderful!

But as exciting as it is to have finished one of my five exams, I still have four to go.
The real work begins now.
It will be two weeks of intense work.

Thirteen days left!!!!!!!

Last day of codes!

Today was my last day of highschool classes ever!

hopefully.


And in approximately 21 days I will be done my exams and finished with highschool!!!

Study time!

The IB exams are frighteningly close and the 2nd years have fallen into study hibernation. It has suddenly become either very easy to find people (because they are always working in their carrel unit) or impossible (they are always working in a hidden carrel unit). I have made a new home in the carrel unit S-14 (aka the 'brit carrel unit' - because 7/8 of the people in it are british) It is (in my humble opinion) the best carrel unit: we have a heater, a window seat with cushions, a kettle, tea, a biscuit jar, recyling shelves and amazing study diagrams all over the walls and ceilings. This is my desk: All my study charts:

Now that these vocab words and equations adorn my walls, I am hoping I will learn them.

A week and a half to the ib!!!
