Because IA is Hard.

How wonderful it is.




Probably one of the most memorable moments I had was when I actually passed a test. I can't remember what test, but it's probably from the first quarter because that's when we had the easiest lessons.

A day in IA is always fun because we get to laugh with our classmates and teacher, and sometimes those are better than any other moments we have.

Experience is the best teacher. (:



How sad the world seems to be.

One of the most discouraging moments in the class is when I either fail a quiz or fail to understand the lesson. Sometimes both. [Hehe. =P] Although I felt sad about these, it doesn't put a stop to my want to achieve more. I will never be contented with my grades and the way I project myself. It's never enough. But I think that's all I can ever do about it.

I wish that I would be able to at least earn even
ONE perfect score in IA. ONE! Is that too much to ask?

I guess so.

Different prospects for different times. (:

Different times call for desperate measures. And different times call for different expectations. Such as this time.

Let's see.

Expectations, expectations.

So, what do I expect from this subject?

Nothing special really. I just want to understand it, that's all. It doesn't matter how long, or how tedious the process may be, as long as I could comprehend the lessons at all. My expectations doesn't differ from my classmates, other than me being stupid at math [hehe], we all just really want to be able to understand it.

Now, what do I expect from my teacher?

I just want to have fun while being able to understand it because like I said, I'm awfully hopeless at math. Maybe my brain is not the problem, maybe the real problem is how I persevere to actually study my lessons. Aside from being awfully hopeless at math, I am also a certified procrastinator AND a true lazy bum. Haha.

Expectations from classmates?

Hopefully, more cooperation and for us to strive harder to earn higher grades.

That pretty much sums it all up. (:






Such an exhilarating experience it is.

Given the many times I've experienced not-so-good, ah, experiences in IA, it is kind of hard for me to choose one. But, since this entry is to make that point, I will have to. Albeit grudgingly.

Let's see.

Probably, one of my most favorite experiences are one where I can freely incorporate my ideas with others. Like groupworks and others. It's no piece of cake either to pass quizzes so that's probably more important than others.

Given the opportunity, I would like to have more activities like the one we did in the 1st quarter by integrating technology and math. (:
