20:54
actually there is a Very Real chance i might not even have power tomorrow so i am just going to simply say that i lost power if i stay home <3 love and light(edited)
yeah for real be safe everyone!! the winds are supposed to get really bad so you might want to look out for any dead trees/anything that could fall on your house and cause damage... if you feel like you're in serious danger it might be best to wait it out in a basement/lower floor
Hey! Is anyone interested in doing a study group over the summer that could meet 1-2 times a week for IA’s, EEs, college essay writing, SAT/ACT prep, etc? I think it would help keep us on track and we could do it virtually, in person (maybe at a park or cafe) , or a combination. Lmk what you think please.
if you write up a schedule for specific things on specific days, people can just come to the ones they need/are convenient for them! we could also start on some college app stuffs- i have the brag pack form that you’ll need to figure out recommendations if anybody wants it early!
exie didn’t like the way I said that If you wanna come help out for volunteer hours or to feel like a decent human this is a really good opportunity, you can mark yourself as going if you have facebook or you can let exie know. This isn’t an eco club organized cleanup, just one we’re going to, and they’re always a lot of fun, there’s gonna be snacks n stuff too
I mean two of my sisters did Chem and struggled on the exams but according to their classmates bio kids had no idea what they were doing either (my other sister didn’t take the exams because she was a 2020 grad)

here’s the ee deadline sheet i made again, outlines are due the 20th
idk what beaven said to the other classes but for mine she noted that in writing we need to be able to build better (more specific and clear; not restating the prompt) thesis’, and making sure we can explain how literary elements effect the sound and meaning in poetry, so let’s watch out for that

i usually just use the "my mix" thing because i am terrible with deciding on my music for when im doing stuff and it just kind of spoon feeds me music that i've listened to recently and sometimes new stuff which is how i find new music in the first place
if i just remove the rickety wood dam that holds back the flow of my thoughts, i can write an essay in 20 minutes flat and it will somehow make so much sense

idc if this counts as cheating because it seems like we all have different poems but for mine I wrote “In this poem, the speaker uses literary elements such as repetition and personification to develop their relationship to solitude that involves feeling weary and being held at solitude’s mercy”

not that mine is .. good .. just an example idk dudnsjnsj
im setting timers to make sure i do all the prompts in time because otherwise i will spontaneously combust if i have two seconds on the clock at the end and im not done writing my body
about 16 minutes!! make sure you're wrapping up any final points and polishing up just enough to trick them into thinking you conform to their idiotic standards of sophistication <3
@everyone i am bringing in bundtinis (these things) on tuesday for exam day because i literally just dont have anything going on exam-wise on that day so i just wanted to say if you are in person and you havent been showing up to class i suggest you at least do it on tuesday so you can get one :)
i was probably going to do something about leaving water bottles in a hot car and seeing how much plastic gets into the water and if its still drinkable without it being poisonous
ok i just did like 0.2 seconds of research and realized i probably wont be able to do the water bottle thing because i have no idea how to see how much plastic goop is in a water bottle after you leave it in a hot car for a while
@everyone happy june!! in our final days of our junior year, i wish all of you good luck on your exams and the best of luck bullshitting all the unnecessary work!! we're in the homestretch folks, and I'm so extremely proud of all of you guys for getting through this year, it's been tough and crazy as shit, but we're here at the end of it!

@everyone as we endure our last cram night of the year, let us remember that we’re voting for Noah and Hayley tomorrow morning in the class elections <3
@everyone okay so I'm thinking and, i think I'm the next couple weeks is y'all could let me know who's dropping and who's staying so i can moderate server membership accordingly, that'd be swag
How many people are here at school today? Cause I don’t want to be left alone for all my classes- so please say someone else is here with whom I have a class @everyone(edited)
@everyone It’s official! We made it through a crazy and difficult year. I’m so proud of all of you and thankful for your help, humor, and friendship. Have an amazing summer, you deserve it!

hey guys im trying to fill out a college app rn and its asking me to list my senior year classes... is ib psych only a semester or is it the entire year
@everyone good morning! if you have some spare time today, your help would be appreciated at the senior class car wash! it starts at 12 at Firestone, and would count for volunteer hours.
Just in case anyone was wondering, Ms. Castle is no longer the IB counselor and interviews are still being done to fill her position. However, I think she’s still available to make schedule changes and the like until we get a new counselor.
i think i will just be deciding when my lunch period is- i fully intend to spend my lunch/study halls in some teachers classrooms. i’m not going to say anything to the counselors
speaking of schedules- Hallie just said that she’s enrolled in AP stats this year for free- so it is possible to take it!! i guess they just hate us math kids
roles are important bc they give you access to your class channels and things of that sort etc. mute any channels you don't wanna use, or alternatively you can change messages to ping only if you don't wanna be social, and you'll only get notifications for big announcements and questions from classmates when they want your attention. we can organize game nights, movie nights, study days, etc. it'll be as active as you guys want it to be! message me with any questions you have and i'll be happy to respond and help however i can!
one last thing, your classmates who are comfortable have their pronouns as roles, so make sure that is something you guys take a look at so you can be as respectful as possible to one another!(edited)
okay! i'm hosting the new music bot (rip groovy) from my laptop for rn, so just lmk when y'all are using it and i'll leave the program running in the background! if i find a bot hosting platform i'll lyk!
for those of you with study hall B days 1-2 and A days 6-7: if you email regs to ask ahead of time you can go up to her room during those periods instead of going to study hall. IDK about any other study hall period
08:15
you have to wait until they take attendance though
i did that last time and got marked absent and debo got mad at me, but that might have just been disorganization. also, i forgot, but regenos is gone (i think every other week? maybe?) so we cant go to her room then

60-90 minutes of volunteer hours Per Meeting (weekly) bc we plan volunteer activities during them, monthly opportunities to do cleanups on campus & in the community for more volunteer hours and to have a real life impact on the cleanliness of our city, it’s chill as fuck, and we’re working on a couple of super cool projects & fun things for senior year!!
20:55
also i’m the president this year instead of exie which means we will actually be able to read what’s written on the board!!!!!
theres a lot of thoughts bouncing around in my brain all of the time so i think it might 1) kind of help my mental health HOPEFULLY? and 2) creativity hours
21:05
emphasis on hopefully. idk if itll actually do anything but we'll see
gabe >:)

Ms. Tausz doesn’t know. From what I know from the Student Council calendar, ticket pre-sale starts the week of October 4th, and regular sales run from the 13th-15th, so we should find out around then!
hello everyone we are currently trying to conspire in psychology to skip tomorrow because of all of the shit that’s happened in the past 30 minutes (shooting threats and whatnot). who’s in
i honestly don't know for sure but there was definitely a threat of someone shooting up the school either later today or tomorrow
14:24
take what i say with a grain of salt though - obviously im not a firsthand witness so what i say might have gone through the rumor mill one too many times
My mom just got an all call that there was a threat in a Facebook post, but APD and APS investigated it and has determined that it was not a credible threat
hello everyone we are currently trying to conspire in psychology to skip tomorrow because of all of the shit that’s happened in the past 30 minutes (shooting threats and whatnot). who’s in
doing this once again because my mom just said she'll keep me home tomorrow: @everyone react to this message (click the little icon below) if you're planning on not showing up tomorrow
also i remember when there was the line last week someone almost tried to let me in through a side door cause they saw me walking towards the front of the building and i thought to myself "Huh what if someone snuck in with a weapon like this"
this is definitely my fault and for that i apologize
11:37
going to restrain myself from going on another tangent about dresscode but this is seriously so stupid who the fuck cares if i wear a hat. am i suddenly unrecognizable because you can't see the top of my head
i know none of the ib teachers really care its just the other gen-ed teachers who see me wearing a hat and think its the worst thing in the world and i should be crucified or something so i mean if i just take it off in the hallway and wear it in the classrooms...
so i'm thinking we could all wear hats, annotate masks and things of the sort, i'm gonna look at the student handbook and see what all the arbitrary infractions that make no sense are
literally exact opposite of what harrison had said
12:09
OKAY SO
12:12
the hats rule is camera id, because of the fights and their prominence recently, kids can't get id-d by photos during the fights so they can't actually enforce and handle the kids. and then as a result every teacher is running it a whole bunch more strict overall through the school, and so the ib teachers are tryna make sure we don't get fucked over as soon as we leave their rooms bc they don't enforce it as strictly
yeah i understand that i'll probably stop wearing my hat for a while then cause i dont want to accidentally get implicated in a fight or anything idek
12:15
still kinda pissed off about the "no short skirts/shorts/other bottoms" though because really. who gives a shit unless your whole ass is hanging out of your pants
harrison had made it sound as though the ib kids would be the start of a harsher enforced dress code to set a standard for the rest of the school, and that we would get harsher enforced when it comes up specifically as an ib class, but regs made it clear that it's a schoolwide wave and not an ib thing
also you can still get dresscoded by any admin or counselor in the halls, even a teacher who doesn’t teach you can do it so idfk what that is
12:27
i sort of want to do something anyway just bc harrison was being so fuckin weird about it
12:29
also, i would really appreciate if ppl would work on using inclusive language when talking about situations like this. i am not a woman, and never have been a woman, and though we don’t have any other trans men in our class, we have a few nonbinary people, who are ALSO not women. our bodies are regulated just as much as women’s are, but it’s very dysphoria inducing and rather insensitive to either exclude us by only saying “women” or include us in that category to which we don’t belong. afab is a better term to use, same amt of syllables so it shouldnt be inconvenient (@everyone)
but yeah like ive never gotten really dresscoded by any of the ib teachers for my hat but i have gotten yelled at in the hallway for wearing one by random teachers so that's great
If we do wear something to protest the dress code, what if we did something where the guys wear tshirts and skirts with makeup and the girls wear slacks/pants with no make up
i can guarantee you if i wear my hat tomorrow they’ll enforce that but otherwise you’re probably right at least in regards to like. pants and ~exposed shoulders~ or whatever the hell is in the dress code
i think the most logical thing to do is see if harrison can set up that meeting w us and the teachers, or ask them to send us an email of what exact rules in the dress code they’ll be enforcing
anyway- harrison told us outright that the leggings & ripped pants rule wouldn’t be enforced, so we already know there’s one inconsistency with the written dress code of firestone
French folks - here is a quizlet set I made for the quiz today also - I am in the process of making history quizlets. The 5 I’ve completed so far are all on my account so feel free to use them as a resource
study material for friday's test. should help with identification of most of the major stuff, and i threw some smaller things in to be safe as well. lmk if there's anything missing!(edited)
From Principal Farrell:
Dear Firestone/ Litchfield Family:
We know you are concerned, as are we, following what occurred today at Firestone CLC. We are increasing security for the foreseeable future for both schools on our campus following today's social media posting from this morning.
The post showed two boys in a bathroom taking their photo while each was displaying a "gun". It has not been determined whether these were toys or real. Security determined the photo had been taken in a bathroom at Firestone CLC (high school) this morning.
Through extensive investigative work today by our security team and Akron police, neither student identified in the surveillance footage is believed to be a student at APS and neither was found to still be in the building shortly after the photo had been posted on social media.
Please know our priority will always be the safety of our students and staff and we are doing all we can to ensure that. However, I completely understand the concerns our families have following what occurred today. As we always tell students, if you see something, say something to an adult just to be sure all concerns are addressed. Please review this with your children. The eyes and ears of our students are valuable in ensuring safety for all.
we spent history fucking around instead of working, who would be genuinely interested in a movie night in the discord? we could do submissions and polls together for people that wanna watch
I did a movie night with a friend a few nights ago on discord and it depended on the dmstreaming service we were using but idk if that was a them issue or a streaming isssue
which is fair, we'd need somebody with good wifi to stream it, but if there's a venue we could find and do it physically that's an option, discord is just obviously the easiest
just wanted to beat you to saying it the same way i beat you out of the parking lot and would win in a hypothetical boxing match tomorrow morning in coffields class for extra credit

yea i have a few of them on my list plus the coaches daughter already had an issue with calling a black person a monkey but didn’t get in trouble for it
I just checked and it says in their bio that it’s “not an official account, or affiliated with Firestone” so I’m not sure if that changes how badly they could get punished
either way, nobody's getting off free for that one

obv this wasn’t at stone, but when i got called the n word at miller, i think the girl who did it got 1 detention and no jazz band for a week and that was it
i can not believe this happened twice in the same group of people…. what the fuck. i really hope this goes further than just firestone/aps, cause this shit is a prime example of why we need to change our education programs
i know there’s been court cases about censorship being allowed in school newspapers, it’s possible if APS wants to keep this quiet they won’t allow the focus to publish this. we could talk to the akron beacon or something though and raise it as a community issue, let them know we’re not going to drop it
maybe, i was thinking about having them connect it to the huge argument around crt in classrooms and show how that impacts locally. might still not be enough though
I don't know if anybody here listens to classical music but on Saturday the Akron Symphony is playing Beethoven's 5th. I'll be there - open invitation.
hey y’all i’m doing this fundraiser and we’re selling overpriced popcorn would any of y’all be interested in buying some? probably not the best at advertising but i wouldn’t want to lie to y’all

i personally would reduce the size of the falcon (align the design’s top and bottom with the top and bottom of the event detail’s words) and then increase the size of the words+falcon
if you’re getting them done urself they’re due by January, my photographer has a system where she contacts schools on her own to submit them but depending you might have to like give ur portrait to whoever does yearbook
https://www.tiktokdataprivacysettlement.com/ so uhhh fun fact i learned today. theres a class action lawsuit against tiktok and if you use/used tiktok/musically and you get your parents to sign this with you (if you're under 18 - you don't need to have your parents sign it if you're 18) you are entitled to some sweet ca$h money(edited)
22:30
i dont know how much money that would be but it's worth a shot anyway
whenever we talk i like to make up middle names when I'm upset because i refuse to learn their real one, and i felt there needed to be more weight than exie
17:53
like if you've ever heard marc dorsey be called marctholomew (unlikely) i did that
@everyone You all probably know by now, but I tested positive for Covid today. I just want to apologize for all of the craziness that I’ve caused. I’m so sorry.(edited)
@everyone Thank you for the well wishes! Just got home from the hospital, still feeling a bit weird from the anesthesia. Have a great weekend and Thanksgiving! I’ll see you soon, love y’all.
the general guideline is that if you’re exposed unmasked for under 15 minutes then you’re to carry on as normal, but we have a special circumstance in which we’re unmasked together for ~30-40 mins a day so they didn’t really know what to tell us other than to get tested and watch for symptoms
15:27
nobody got sent home or told to stay home or anything, unless obviously you’re sick/test pos
tbh since we’re on the topic ion think we need more than 3 . everybody was talking ab how extracurriculars will take up too much time but presenting FIVE ee topics?? that’s excessive af
if we want to fill time, we should be expanding on important information- we could talk more about the ee process and writing it and how important it is, but how helpful will it be to have 5 people just… tell the underclassmen their topics?
i think it’s important to think about what will actually be beneficial for the people going into ib, and imo talking about specific topics isn’t general enough to actually be applicable to everyone
Like I’m not talking about my EE as my topic I’m talking about how I did some shit in the summer and then some other shit at the beginning of this year
dominic created his own tests, that’s definitely important to talk about; at least one of you had to have used already collected data, that’s important to talk about; and somebody had to have done a non-research based paper, which is another perspective to show
@Canter@emma m. We still need some stuff put together for the psychology and theory of knowledge slides. do you have time or do you need me to put them together? I am in both classes and i don't mind, but you two need to be ready to present or tell somebody else that they need to take your place
dom g.
its what big booty judy wanted so its what big booty judy is getting (edited)
y’all can ignore me because i’m not really involved in the ib forum, but i think the ees picked should be very different kinds; gabes ee was a ton of research and statistics, elena’s was analytical of text, etc(edited)
even though nobody has taken the class, information can still be provided on it to help the underclassmen. y’all’s experience of not getting to take it can actually help them More, and let them know they need at least 3 ppl to actually do it lol
gabe m. — Today at 4:52 PM
nobody asked but i think the people representing different processes should have a slide(/slides?) for their process, but all 5 don’t need written stuff
like dominic should definitely have a couple bullet points up on the slide while he’s talking, bc he’s the example of somebody doing their own experiment
@hayley c. could you access the form? Contact tracing to see if we need to quarantine or not. Essentially we’re being treated the same as an athetic team
it does not specify masked or unmasked, if within the past two weeks you've been within 6 feet of leya for more than fifteen minutes, do not come to school.

i guess they didn’t, which is ridiculous bc there’s a medically recognized definition of “close contact” and it’s exactly that but w/o masks. i would not put it past our administration to forget that. regardless though, they provide no time period for that qualification which means all of us are applicable
18:02
leya’s online hi leya :D we love you & hope you’re well

Stupid question but did y'all email harrison about rescheduling the forum and if so did she respond (ik someone talked about emailing but i just wanted to know if there was any news on it)
Just talked to him. Mel, Max, and Exie said they would be okay competing as a team of 3, but he said that you could still compete, as long as you have a negative test.
i’m going to school tm (no direct exposure/contact, no symptoms, vaccinated af, 2 negative tests, shitty attendance), if you guys don’t get your questions answered by the morning i’ll gladly be an in-person advocate just lmk
it makes actual sense for me not to go tho, i was a close contact mf and even with the two negatives you can never be too safe Soooooooo i'm stayin home
hii guys just wanted to say im thankful for y’all!! especially for this support system we have within this program( not talking about the teachers btw ) and for that i just wanted to say thank you

13:52
apologies i get very mushy on holidays for some reason
fuck this weird ass holiday, but I'll be damned if I'm not endlessly thankful for everybody here. you fuckers are some of the weirdest, funniest, coolest people I've ever had the unparalleled pleasure of getting to know, and if I could go back and do it again, I'd pick ib in a heartbeat if it meant that I got to spend this time with you maniacs
i’m very grateful to have you all in my life, especially when getting through irl dante’s inferno. i’ll be sad to leave you all at the end of the year, but very proud of us all. much love ❤️
@everyone secret nondenominational-winter-gift-giver drawing eve is upon us! you have until 9am tomorrow to complete the google form - we've got 18/22 of us entered so it would be rly cool if we could have the whole group! but if not - I totally understand!! happy holidays :)
17:52
also! a lot of us have been missing recently - which is fine - but if you'd like to 1. be removed from the drawing 2. have me draw for you and message you a picture of the slip, or 3. Draw sometime next week if you think you'd have time to get a gift before the 10th, just lmk !
i thought i asked this a week ago, but forgot to actually send the message: i learned a bunch of mind puzzles/ games while i was gone which i thought were super fun- would any of y’all be interested in playing them (maybe during tok)?
book recommendation!! I chewed through two parts of it today, there’s definitely a lot of what she says that I’ve questioned or outright disagreed with, but it’s undoubtedly enlightening, and at the very least would expose you to new points of view/ways of thinking
@everyone tomorrow is gift exchange! aiming to do it at the beginning of English (or end depending on when our ceac presentation is) bc like half of us are going to Hanigofsky’s room during lunch, so just set your gifts on the front table when you come in and I can hand them out (edited)
I just heard the all call they said that there was a Snapchat post being shared around saying that people were going to riot third period tomorrow and they looked into it and it wasn’t credible but they’re going to have metal detectors tomorrow
I won’t be at school during language arts today but I might be there to take my math test so I might be able to give out my secret Santa gift today but if not I will have it Monday
@everyone im making final edits to the forum program, so please, for my sake, make sure that by the end of the day tomorrow at the very very latest 1. speakers are indicated in the speaker notes section of each slide and 2. information is accurate and slides are in the correct order
23:53
additionally, Exie, if you have an EE research question you can still get that to me
23:56
and I'd like to stress the importance of writing scripts or at least outlines for your speaking parts, especially if you're presenting in pairs. It helps to have something to refer to mentally/on a notecard if you blank, and it helps everything run smoother. and lastly, a cute little segue at the end of your section would help things go better, if you're in the mood for it, and can also be a good sort of cue for the next group - like for emma's and my spanish section, we end with smth like "and now you'll be hearing about French from _"

23:56
that's all i hope youre all resting up for exams tm
instead of doing the ib forum i think we should have all the miller kids do the reindeer prom performance. other schools make your own plan. gotta show them our talent
look into your mirrors and curse a Lot in the morning, make sure we get no slip-ups on stage in front of board members because then I'll have to detonante the ied I hid in your microphones ^-^
I just wanted to let y’all know that one of my friends from dance has covid, so I won’t be at the forum today. So far I have no symptoms, I just don’t wanna risk getting any of you sick right before the holidays
she said that one of her main draws to ib was the people, and that she loved us and she was grateful to be in a program with such awesome mfs as you guys
just the sweetest thing ever- she talked about how ib was like a family and how she genuinely cared about us all. i thought i was going to cry on stage
my mom somehow ended up with 4 extra tickets to the summit choral candlelight concert at St. Bernard catholic church at 7 tonight, at which elena will be performing. if you would like to hear some incredible singing lmk! @everyone
Happy winter break, @everyone! So proud of everything you’ve already accomplished and persevered through this school year. Celebrate, sleep in, take care of yourself, and have some fun (you deserve it!)
i am obliged to say my sister went ice skating friday there and came home with her entire right knee purple and was unable to walk, and the likelihood of that happening to me increased the longer we’re there

i thought this was going to be about how i asked my dad if i could go while she was in the same room yesterday and she decided shes going at the same time and has been begging me to tell her what time i’m going
12:48
i told her it was just the ib seniors and she said she’s not going with me, she’ll just be there
i think someone should just pick a time and then we can see if it works
12:50
but not me
12:50
too much responsibility

mary came into my room just now to ask me again if i had a time, so i just showed her the chat (i think she thinks i’m lying about not having a time so she can’t go) and she asked me to screenshot the part where gabe called her funny and send it to her

merry christmas and happy holidays!! (in an ‘i genuinely hope y’all get a day of fun/ relaxation during this break cause i love y’all and you deserve it :))’ kind of way)
i asked about a potential quarantine week after break and this was her response (i haven’t had an exposure to covid as far as i know tbc, just want to be cautious)
yeah i understand its supposed to promote security or whatever but like. dude you couldnt have waited until maybe the beginning of next year to do that???
If it helps, as long as you were in APS, I think the passwords are aps and then the series of numbers that made up the Career Cruising passwords from middle school. It might just be a coincidence that mine is the same though.
honestly if anything im kind of glad this happened because now i have an actually valid excuse as to why my work isnt done rather than "i was too depressed to do it"
this would be less of a problem if it weren't for the fact that i still have some assignments to do that are currently locked behind my school account and there's probably like no physical way for them to even give me an extension
17:30
YEAH -_-
17:30
i really dont understand why this couldn't have just waited until next school year(edited)
unless they explicitly tell you that it only applies to tuition, then it should be applicable for all school charges, but dig around in the fine print/online to know for sure
Bc my thought behind this is with the generation innovations scholarship, if I do get that my tuition is covered so there is no need for this scholarship, unless I can use it to get out of my house
Hey we just got a call from the superintendent saying there might be no school tmrw cause ppl can’t walk to school cause of the snow. Final descion later tonight

giving us all new passwords & only telling us in a letter, locking us OUT of our emails if we dont have our letters & thus giving us no access to help .. & all at the very end of the grading period + semester
actually i take it back i think i’m going to cry instead about that issue- i had parent acceptable grades when i checked this morning for everything except tok which i was waiting for her to put in, now spanish and english have been knocked down…. harrison on the other hand i will be strangling. she answered my email about the pws but not the one about my late work
23:52
i know she saw it, and she knows i know. now she’s gotta answer it
i will be having a lovely sit down conversation with harrison tomorrow because sending emails makes me want to throw up and also hearing that she doesnt even respond to emails is not comforting
and even if i do get an extension by some miracle of god on my late work of course this is literally the only day i have work in the evening this week so. yeah
07:58
i feel ill. ugh
08:00
my grades are so bad rn i already know hopefully next quarter will be better at least so my colleges won’t want to kick me out LOL
ugh…my aunt (who i last saw monday morning) tested positive for covid. i have no symptoms, and im going to take a covid test. im trying to convince my parents to not make me go tomorrow but if that falls through i’m going to see if i can sit completely by myself (if y’all dont mind adjusting seats some) and double mask and sanitize everything. if y’all have any more suggestions i will take them. im really sorry @everyone
just email harrison because you're Not Allowed if you're exposed without a test and they'll probably have you quarantine the full five days regardless so
technically speaking, exie you're good to come back next Monday if you text negative, but (i think) me gabe jade canter and emma i believe aren't good until Wednesday if we're clear
this is probably a good chance to say this - if you guys havent already heard the usps is shipping free tests out and you can get four per household https://special.usps.com/testkits
more news, don’t think it changes anything, my aunt took a rapid covid test monday morning and that was negative, she just took the pcr yesterday morning and that was positive. my dad says the rapid test determines if you’re contagious and if it was a true negative then she couldn’t have given it to us, but it’s possible it was a false negative(edited)
my mom is keeping me home cause the weather is apparently supposed to get really bad around noon and she doesn’t want me to try driving home in that(edited)
08:11
i feel kind of bad for missing this much school at this point but at the same time i also don’t feel like dying trying to get home LOL
sharing a very proud moment of teenage rebellion with my sister- neither of us feel up to doing tennis but our mom made us go so we’re just parked outside the building and. not playing
manifesting another snow (or just cold ig) day tomorrow(edited)
23:08
honestly its not that i dont want to go to school its that i dont want to have to deal with the potential nightmare of being forced to park in the main lot again
23:10
i was fighting for my LIFE out there today(edited)
chem kids are so lucky rn… hipsley has spelled alveoli 3 different ways, and told us it doesn’t matter whether we label the blood flow as oxygenated or deoxygenated on either side(edited)

as someone who frequently accidentally falls asleep in positions that end up with me waking up with no blood circulation in appendages which hurts super bad…. why would you want to do that

frankly, i have no idea what the safepass shit is, but as always the admin has done the bare minimum to communicate with students and families, so fuck them if they expect any of that shit to be prepared and usable, and until they speak directly to the student body about it i would just ignore whatever
i thought it was really funny how much styles have changed since then
14:46
and that they had hipster and hippies, because i was once playing a game where i was supposed to draw a hipster and i drew a hippy because i thought they were the same thing
@everyone can someone meet me in the commons after the bell rings and help me carry these cakes cause i dont think im gonna be able to carry 3 bags of them by myself the whole way LOL
Mr sandy told us that it is a bell that goes off a minute before the bell to tell you to get to class, it’s apparently going to happen everyday now(edited)

@everyone hey gamers so i had a bit of an idea last night... i think i might get one-bundtlet towers (i know that sounds dumb but basically what it means is that i’ll wrap it in cellophane and put a cute little bow on it) for each of our teachers as a cute little thank-you gift... two issues with this though:
1) i calculated how much it would cost for 9 (? i think?) teachers and it’ll cost 29.25. if you guys want to maybe chip in like 1.25 each that would definitely work! (if you dont want to chip in at all that’s okay too - i’ll probably just end up covering the extra cost)
2) i need to figure out what flavor each of the teachers like - i can probably do this for everyone minus debo and westphal so i will need someone who is in spanish and chemistry to go up to them and ask LOL
let me know what you guys think!
btw if you want to chip in i will either take cash or do it through apple pay (my number is 330-807-5452)! i was trying to sign up for venmo but apparently my mom stole my number to make her own venmo account -_-
11:56
okay if you wanna go through venmo just send it to @Kirsten-Harvey-12 i guess smh
11:57
noah just gave me 5 bucks so we’re at 5.00/29.25 right now!(edited)
You are unique and how you can demonstrate "You got this!" to the world is unique too. Every graduate must demonstrate preparedness during high school by earning two or more seals from the list of twelve below.
Seal Requirement: 2023 and beyond graduates, and those in the classes of 2021 or
14:45
It looks like APS will automatically give you the Biliteracy Seal, Citizenship Seal, College Ready Seal, Honors Diploma Seal, Industry-Recognized Credential Seal, Military Enlistment Seal, Science Seal, and Technology Seal, as long as you meet the requirements. The Community Service, Fine and Performing Arts, Ohio Means Jobs Readiness, and Student Engagement Seals require extra forms, but they don’t look complicated.

the four themes we’ve ended up narrowing it down to are:
- masquerade
- met gala (don’t pick this one.)
- northern lights
- galaxy
keep in mind we’re probably not even going to be decorating that much because of how fancy greystone is already so in the grand scheme of things you probably won’t even see that much of the colors anyway LOL
okay so when all the other ib classes said that they were like a family i rlly did not believe them . like 9th-11th grade i never thought i could look at Any member of our class and be like “yup i know theyd have my back” but now , i feel like i could, even tho i know some of y’all think im insane (andraya.). i love y’all thanks for being nicer to me this year (was it me breaking down in tears in lit at the beginning of the year? be honest)
i put too much emphasis on the first part oops
ps: u are all wonderful ppl and i’ve come to appreciate all of ur quirks and flaws in a way i wouldnt have without ib so i guess im thankful for it a little
23:30
LOL nico
23:30
i think everyone was there … we were talking ab the class rules
shoutout to when harrison made me cry over my semester grades cause she wouldn’t let me turn in my work that i couldn’t turn in because i was locked out of my aps account and i had to go home ❤️
noah ^-^
i felt so vindicated today to see griot in the mogen presentation and be like HEY THAT'S ME I DID THAT I LIKE THIS PART and :3
wait wtf have we been doing in tom for the past 2 days
ryann

spanish mfs talked to beaven and she seems to really care about being director and maintaining And growing the program for the better for future students and that to me is very gratifying to see
a little offtopic but dude my mom has been trying to get a hold of johnson repeatedly to talk about my attendance and he has just not returned any of her calls/messages at all
nico would’ve been gone, i bet ryann would have too, i think if it were a more open option that even more people would be gone bc they would have Considered it more
I love the teachers, not gonna name any names, who are like we are stressed too but then add even more stress on to people by doing more assignments that are dumb and pointless

i think that there are teachers in ib that work to genuinely make ib a place that excels and works toward doing good for students by being actually supportive like debo, westphal, and regs, but it's insane to me that there are like 3 of them and everybody else just likes being pretentious(edited)
it's not lol, emma was social in her class sophomore year and she just didn't like that?? she has a weird ass axe to grind with her and it's genuinely disgusting to me that she goes out of her way to antagonize emma
idk which teacher you’re talking about so here’s my run down:
coffield- good but weird to me
beaven- simultaneously awful and gave me more support than my mom
harrison- only awful
regs- hw stressful, but she’s supportive
hanigofsky- incredible
hipsley- gives me support and is not nice to me
debo- scary, doesn’t like late work

let me know what you guys think!
btw guys don’t forget about this i need like 20 more bucks to cover the cost and whatever doesn’t end up getting covered i’ll probably just cover myself. any amount helps <3
00:16
also noah if you could ask westphal/debo what they want tomorrow that’d be awesome

superrr late to this but @gabe >:) you’re 100% correct. hipsley has been so genuinely rude to me over the course of my three years of having her. but i honestly think that she’s just holding a grudge from my sophomore year where i allegedly “cheated” off of noah ON A LAB AS PARTNERS…but @noah ^-^ you’re right bc i was social in that class during sophomore year & then she had to go & ruin that by being so nasty to me

let me know what you guys think!
visual representation of our exam schedule! i know hayley already made an exam schedule in the pins but i thought this might help people who are more visual learners
@everyone hey guys! im gonna put together the towers for the teachers tonight while i’m at work... do you guys have any suggestions for what color of ribbon i should use for the bow? i was thinking green or yellow for firestone colors or light blue to represent the ib logo
11:58
also i need a message to put on the message cards so if you guys have any ideas for that that’d be awesome too
hey @everyone do you guys know if:
- hanigofsky is a ms or mrs
- harrison is a ms or mrs
- hipsley is a ms or mrs??
i genuinely forgot and i think it’d be really embarassing if i messed up their titles LOL(edited)
just letting yall know- i have my phone and car (i have to walk to and from school?? guess i will literally never show up on time) taken away and i'm indefinitely grounded from all extracurricular activities. i will not be able to text nor check discord during school hours, but i can up until my wifi shuts off after i get home
13:15
waiting for this to backfire onto my parents when they have absolutely no way of contacting me nor tracking my location
i don’t know if anyone else was afraid that college (specifically liberal arts college) would be harder than ib, but i talked to a freshman at the college of wooster who said that IB was wayyy harder than what he was doing then
@everyone ok did ANYONE hear the announcements and if so did they say that club pictures are after school in the gym today?? thats what i heard but i do not trust my own hearing LOL
09:44
i did hear the part about rapid release though which is a little confusing but whatever
hey guys! this is kind of a weird question but where do you guys go thrift shopping?? i'm getting a sudden urge to kind of change my wardrobe up so i figured i would ask you guys since i dont really know that much about thrifting LOL....
platos closet is also good for like more curated stuff
21:01
typically u’ll be able to find more stylish things there (like shein & all the fast fashion type things) but it’s also more expensive and lowkey boring imo ! but u can find good things anywhere given the chance
@everyone hello ib baes i am formally (and forcefully) inviting you all to the >•°Art Extravaganza°•< from 1-4pm on May 7th <333
art & food what else do u need ??
interesting factoid i just learned: ib offers something called a “school-based syllabus” which means schools can literally just make their own subjects and submit them to ib for approval and teach them instead of an official ib class
22:00
obviously we don’t have one but
22:01
apparently some schools teach astronomy and human rights as ib classes
22:01
theres another one that teaches art history apparently too
btw those of you who are taking the math exam tomorrow: make sure you bring a ruler cause they'll take points off if you don't have straight lines when graphing

does anybody want to join me in bringing extra contributions to the senior picnic because they made a rule that if everyone doesn’t bring something they can’t eat? @everyone
i alr bought extra stuff ♂️ thanks to firestone for supporting its low income students
22:01
there’s already going to be a disproportionately large amount of food if even half of the class brings more than a few servings of stuff, and i’m sure most of us just bought packages of things that have like 10+(edited)
@everyone hi! terrible news. my dad has covid. i’ve been in the same house with him for the past few days but i haven’t actually been around him much. letting y’all know and i will be double masked at school

@everyone “have them pass the word to anyone they know that a bathing suit and towel are needed. you can change in the car or at the University of Akron from your prom outfit, but pack a bag in your car with comfy clothes tennis shoes etc.”- one of the people in charge of prom
bc she was one of the teachers who very much did not like it when i or anyone said something she didn’t agree with

20:10
& i feel like that’s really not conducive to the growth of the kids she’s in charge of ♂️

20:10
like dominic & i worked our junior year beef out but i think it would have happened way sooner if i wasn’t terrified to say a word in class b/c every time i did she’d yell at me, ykwim?
@everyone hey you guys are invited to come to my graduation party and I know it’s the same day as Dom so if you can’t come I understand but if you can just let me know so I can have a headcount please and thank you!
https://youtu.be/PW-PNuYhcIM?t=2963 went to the livestream recording and i found and timestamped when mr. johnson said "i certify that these students participating in these commencement exercises have sex" during graduation. please enjoy
i was pretty good friends with him my sophomore & junior year. i reached out to ryen fitzwater who was like a sister to him…they grew up together & their families went on vacations together every year. i cant find his address in our texts together but i know that there will be a go fund me page. i think that would be the best way to support the liming family in this awful time
you’d think they’d understand that having a set release time for the results of half of the world’s IB students would bring in a lot of web traffic… right?
@everyone anyway yeah don't post all ya shits and scores, love you guys very much don't nobody gotta talk about they scores if they don't want to, but know that i am immensely proud of the work that each and every one of you put into the fucking death trap
Very sad news. Such an amazing person on the inside and out, I was getting ready to mail her a letter today but now she won’t get it. Echoing what Noah said, here if anyone wants to talk
noah and i were at the school just today to pick up our diplomas and say hi to all the teachers. we went to her room and there seemed to be a sub, and saal is now teaching IB history. there was a sudden announcement at 3 about a staff meeting after school, i imagine it has to do with this. i suspect we'll find out more about a funeral or any other information as time goes on. i think this just happened today so idk the full picture yet
regs’ obituary is on the akron beacon journal website - highly suggest y’all read it. made me tear up a little i’m not allowed to leave my campus to come home but i sent flowers to the funeral home. if any of you attend the visitation hours next week please give her family a big hug from me. especially if there’s any firestone faculty there bc i’m sure they’re all taking this pretty hard
