I have never worked hard to get really good grades or pass tests it usually came naturally to me. I am a procrastination KING ! Work wouldn't get done unless the day before it is due. I know, I know its a bad habit. However, I don't really go outside, or hang out with friends so when I get home I have to have my fun therefore homework usually comes last. Now what does this have to do with Ap bio class? It is messing up my " fun routine" when I get home.
Ms. Lall gives sections to read every night , and there are quizzes and tests every single *effing week. Right now we are on chapter 9- cellular respiration; How does the cell use what we eat and convert it to energy ? ITS A COMPLICATED AND CONFUSING PROCESS THAT WOULD EXCERSICE THE HELL OUT OF YOUR BRAIN TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION. I love it though ! weird right? but it seems like what I really needed was a challenge and cellular respiration is by far my favorite chapter.
I learned that life is work ( literally); living cells require energy to work. Where do they get this energy ? How do cells convert potential energy from food to kinetic energy ? What is the special relationship between you and the entire ecosystem ? I thought I knew the answers, but it was only the surface. ok it goes like this , animals eat plants or obtain energy by eating animals that eat plants, so that energy flows into the ecosystem as sunlight ( which animals convert to heat ) and leaves as heat. Pretty easy to master right ? yeah i think not.
Umu, I can really relate with the idea that good grades used to come so easy. This year has definitely been an experience, concerning the amount of work and responsibility we have encountered. Yet its only been a few months! I would advice to just hang on and understand this is all temporary and look at the greater picture and you're goal which is to become a nurse I believe. But also be ready for the future workload you will received as you enter that profession, and look at this as a way to prepare and build you're ability to manage your time.

I like your sense of humor pertaining to something that is pretty stressful. Like just right now I just finished the rest of the objectives that was due today, which was super fun,NOT. I agree about being exhausted, I can not remember the last time I actually got a good night sleep. Just think about how good it's going to feel when we're done. Stay positive. Allah believes in you….
ReplyDeleteI took AP Bio as a senior too, and I remember it being a lot of work, but I didn't have to take any science classes in college, which was nice!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive I admire your dedication to excel well in higher level courses.
