Really? WE CAN HAVE OUR OWN PROM!

[Abby Elizabeth]

@Briana haha niiiice. Still working on that one fic you sent. :P

YEESSS. COME DANCE WITH US, MELI!

[Rebecca]

(view spoiler)[prom is overrated anyway (hide spoiler)]

[Briana]

@Abby: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. What chapter are you on?

[Abby Elizabeth]

@Briana I'm on chapter 7.

@Rebecca It is totally not overrated for feminine party-loving romanticist extroverts like moi. :P

[Rebecca]

if you say so

[Abby Elizabeth]

Any excuse to dress up and dance and hang with friends is good enough for me. :P

[Zechariah]

XP

[Abby Elizabeth]

Hey Zechariah!

[Zechariah]

Hey Abby! How's it going?

[Abby Elizabeth]

Pretty good. I've had a half good/half bad day. Today was a my dad's first day on the day shift! It was weeeeeiiird. And on the way home from the gym I saw a double rainbow at the same time as the beautiful sunset. That was cool. How are you?

[mels]

I'd kind of like a prom, at least in grade twelve... To dress up and wear a fancy dress and dance and stuff
Alas, 'tis not to be...

[Abby Elizabeth]

*le sigh* *comforting hug*

*whispers* Meli wanna see my prom dress

[mels]

yesyesyesyesyes

[Abby Elizabeth]

I sent a picture :P

Scary thought: this year your metaphorical nieces turn 1 and 4....

[Zechariah]

@Abby: I'm sure :O Aww, cool! Why half good and bad though?
I'm doing pretty well, thanks. :) Had more outdoor chores today and got my Accounting test grade back

I was just kinda moody yesterday sooo yeah.
Cool! Ooo what did you get?

[Zechariah]

Alien theme music, Angelina? What's the occasion? :P

@Abby: Gotcha.
I believe it was 117. :)

[Briana]

[Abby Elizabeth]

Does there need to be an occasion for alien music?

117 out of 100?! Awesome. 0.0

[Zechariah]

I suppose not XD

Yup! I thank God :D

[Abby Elizabeth]

XD

That's really awesome! Extra credit is such a great tool for motivation, I think. (Although if it were up to me I'd do away with the whole grading system the way it is now.)

[Zechariah]

Thanks! I agree.
There are many aspects of the education system that are inefficient.

[Abby Elizabeth]

If I had my way there wouldn't be public schools (no government involvement in education anyway.) The evaluation of a student would be reformed (different grading/testing system) and more emphasis would be put on cultivating a student's strengths (so for a student like me there would be more emphasis on the writing and less on the math/science, which is what I do anyway) and actually preparing them for the real world.

[Zechariah]

That sounds great. :) Although I'd say all practical math and science should still be taught (which I imagine you're not arguing against). Just certain things like calculus, trigonometry, physics, etc. needn't be required unless that's the students' focus. Kinda going to back to the apprentice approach. Specializing.

[Rebecca]

Yes! And focus on the students actual understanding and real world application rather than just test taking ability.

Ya know what I struggles with the most in Cost Acct? The classroom stuff that the teacher even admitted we would never use again. :/

[Abby Elizabeth]

Yeahhh it's really dumb. I dream of a world where the education system makes sense but I'm not going to see it in my life time. :P

[Zechariah]

Hey, it could be reformed in this generation.

Ahh, yes, cost accounting. My professor often skims over or skips content that won't be used again.

[Rebecca]

Yeah, you could start the reformation, Abby!

Why can't there be professors like that everywhere?

[Abby Elizabeth]

I have been told I should run for Congress and/or President...who knows ;P

I can't wait for college. I'll be that weird kid who is friends with all the professors. :P

[Zechariah]

:P

@Rebecca: I knowww. I'm grateful.

[Abby Elizabeth]

I wanna go into the Honor's College program at a University in my area. The University is already a really good school I've heard but with Honor's College it's supposed to be the best professors and small classes. My brother got in so that's where he's going to go.

[Zechariah]

Cool :) Small classes are nice.

[Rebecca]

Well, my college is supposed to have great professors and small classes. For the most part, it is true. But there are a handful of professors that seem to want the class to fail...

Yes, small classes are great :)

[Zechariah]

I've had and heard of those professors before too... -.-

[Rebecca]

yeeaah

[Abby Elizabeth]

I just read the course description for next year's chemistry class and just reading it gave me heart palpitations and made my eyes tear up. -.-

[Rebecca]

I know what you mean!

(but Chem is fun)

[Abby Elizabeth]

But there's an emphasis on the math and let me tell you I don't math. Plus the teacher is a really hard teacher (I had her in MS and that class almost killed me) and it's a really hard class and just noooo.

Plus I'll be in Algebra 2. But my sister is teaching it so it'll be fun. Except I'll have to call her Mrs. ____ (I'm not gonna put her last name for any and all to see but you get the idea)

[Zechariah]

Maybe with your sister you'll start to enjoy math, and maybe, just maybe, chemistry. :P

[Abby Elizabeth]

That'd be nice. Or if not enjoy, at least understand it to a degree that the class isn't stressful.

[Zechariah]

:D I'm hoping and praying for that outcome.

[mels]

I was like what how is Abby's sister teaching her and then I was like ohhhhhhh right

[Abby Elizabeth]

She was a physics major. XD And it's been 10
years since she graduated high school. :P
