Freshman Year And How I'm Surviving - Why Are We Learning Psychology in World History?

So I didn't have much time to post after the first day of school, and I don't have much time now because I'm going to hang out with my friends and I need to shower.
Also, my nails are wet, because I kind of just painted them. They don't look quite as good as I thought they would.
Oh well, nothing ever does.
So anyway, Freshman year.
Yes, I'm a freshman. I go a high school. I take all honors classes and am planning on doing that for the rest of my high school career. Except for senior year. I want to do AP courses.
But enough about my plans to dominate academically, because I'm sure that no one who reads this blog wants to hear about that.
Honestly, why does anyone read this blog?
What do I talk about that keeps you coming back?
Dude.
So my little brother is obsessed with the weather and is yelling at me to get off the computer and to stop 'talking to strangers'. His words, not mine.
He's 7.
Why does he act like he's older than me?
The little punk.
Anyway, what was I writing about in the first place?
Oh, right. Psychology in Honors World History. So my teacher is trying to teach us different ways in which to read that will allow us to retain more information because he kind of shamed us on the second day. We did an activity in which we recalled facts from the packet we read last night, and as a whole, each student remembered roughly 5 facts. It was a six page packet.
Talk about shamed!
So my teacher was talking about psychology and how our brains seek out order (I personally thought that mine seeked out disorder with how messy my room always is. Is it seeked? That just sounds so wrong. Suck out...? I'm wrong.) and how that will help us retain facts from what we read.
I'm kind of excited for freshman year.
Anywho, I have to go. My friends and I, being the nerds we are, are watching the movie version of our summer reading book A Separate Peace.
I really hope that Finny is hot because the movie won't be worth it if he isn't!
Have a great long weekend!
I am,
Right at this moment,
And I always and forever will be,
Your most faithful idiot savant,
