Technically it's a public school, but somehow they get away with aptitude-test-based admission. It's a college prep school and it's curriculum is very good to say the least. Don't want to ramble cause it'll seem like I'm bragging and whatnot but it's really been preparing me for college, and this past week more than any it has been exceptionally vigorous.
Definitely not like any other public school I know of. While it causes me a great amount of stress, I'm thankful to go there. |
Oh

I wish my school was a charter school, though. If I understand the system correctly, it'd give us a much more generous budget to work with (cause my school district SUCKS). There's so many things that we could have that'd make us even more efficient that we can't have cause our district is horrendous (ironic cause we're one of the best schools in the state with one of the shittiest districts in the nation  Funny how that works.).

You didn't catch what I bolded
Charter schools are more about making their own guidelines than about the money. But of course, the money is a big part in how they can allocate their resources. They give much more creative liberty to the instructors, which makes it easier for students

Oh. I'm guessing you're an English teacher. 
Anyways, I know it's not solely about money, but I was just relating it to my school's concerns. We actually share a campus with another school, which as you can probably imagine can be difficult. We manage and we all co-exist in a way, but sometimes it'd be nice to have a campus of our own. On the same note, it'd be harder to have sports when everyone from both schools makes up the sports teams, and I can't go without my Friday Night football games.

I got feedback on an essay I wrote a few months ago while I was hurrying to meet all my deadlines. I opened it up and I see my module teacher wrote, "You used the words 'on', 'of' and 'about' wrong." I don't even know how that happened, didn't have the strength to go through it after that.

I had absolutely no time to perfect and pretty up my entry, since I was practicing all weekend on the dances my school Band performed this weekend. So I did everything on mobile while I was on the school bus this morning.
I'm a bit nervous that I chose too much videos from the same artist, but I still absolutely adore the list I provided. Hopefully the others feel the same.

Britney is the most frequently featured artist on our lists (I think). 
Only QuiQui and Dvn don't have her.

Like Matty said, I was expecting to see unique formatting or something. |
I didn't know we had to format. I thought it was just listing our favourite music videos, similar to previous cycles.

Hints, because I DID send in thoughts/rankings this time! HOORAY!
1) I really don't like one of the songs on your list, but the video itself is a good one.
2) Unlike with #1, the song that I hate is one where I hate both the song AND the video, and that's why you went straight to the bottom of my rankings.
3) Seems like you may have been pandering to somebody with at least one of your choices. I'm not complaining, though. (This could go for multiple entries.)
4) I really enjoyed your list. All of the videos were at least somewhat different, and you may be surprised to know how much I enjoy one of the videos.
5) Not necessarily a big fan of some of the videos, but I did quite enjoy some of the others.

Already got my gift(s) ready. I may be too distressed to remember to give them to you if I'm eliminated though.

Hmm. I could be all of these besides 3 (I don't think any of my videos were pandering).
