writing now although quarter 1 ended on 11/8
Social
Alright seems that the “not socializing with homeroom people” strategy is not working out smh
I don’t know whether this is normal but I only have one person in my homeroom I share science with, and zero in all other classes (excluding PE). I also barely share studies with people in my homeroom.
Another thing is that our male-female ratio is like 1:2, and I’m not the type of person that talks with girls a lot, which makes things even worse.
Other classes are much better though than homeroom imo, at least I talk to people.
CP
I didn’t really do CP a lot this quarter, I guess I will fall back to specialist on CF soon.
I haven’t really done any contests recently after I reached master, maybe just one AtCoder contest and an HSCSA contest. I feel I should practice more OI though, I haven’t practiced a lot and will probably throw OI contests for not getting any partials.
Also LIT is currently indefinitely postponed, so I might fail my C1 goal miserably 🤡 Hopefully it will eventually happen, although I might still not get first in middle school division because I’m bad.
Academics
Not too bad I guess.
In the beginning my grades were bad for Earth Science but it went back up later after all the tests and other stuff. On the contrary, my humanities (Literature + Social Studies) grades gradually dropped as the quarter passed. At least I successfully kept my GPA above 4.
Current GPA: 4.13, might still change though since grades are not final until like 11/18. I’m pretty glad that my teachers aren’t too harsh on grading.
Math
I feel there’s much more math contests here, and math team people are very orz.
A good thing about LHS I guess is that there’s a lot of orz people and I can learn from them instead of having to do everything myself. Also that I can be carried in contests like HMMT which feels very nice.
The tryouts went out nicely for me, at least I didn’t silly too much, which placed me in teams that may be higher than my capability. I’ll try my best not to do nothing I guess.
I originally thought that math team had meetings too often, but because of the half days and all the breaks it turns out not to be that many.
And I kind of stopped doing OTIS after school started which is bad, I’ve completed 2 units after the summer break and only 2 units after school started. I’m currently like level 31 and I don’t know how good that is.
btw I’m not trying to say anything is a scam or something
