cool, i didn’t know Earl Grey was a tea:) I like snickerdoodles best and gingersnaps, but chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin, the two most popular are fine as well. i realize that not everyone judges me harshly, it’s just my inner bully making me think that when someone looks at me, they are seeing the negative. one of the teachers today said they were glad to see me smile and laugh b/c i don’t smile often. when i am alone, i tend to dance and smile, but out in public i feel as if i’m being judged negatively so it’s like i put up a wall. but most people think i’m a good person, there are some people who think i am a confident person and don’t see the insecurity. most of the time my brain is strained from school so i don’t smile often or it’s my inner bully making me feel insecure. i am learning about how to map where genes go on a chromosome whether they are linked together or separated and it’s a bit complex, but i like science so i’m hoping i will get it soon. i am working on understanding calculating the area under functions using left-endpoint rectangles, right-endpoint rectangles and midpoint rectangles (i understand the first two, but i’m still trying to understand the last one.) the new section we started in ap calc today has to do with solving the area using geometry and i tend to struggle a bit trying to recall geometry formulas. i also have 2.5 projects for java to do and i wish the class was a little quieter. i’m just a bit strained in school and somehow my financial aid application for college might have gone wrong b/c i just received an email saying that i’m missing something.
