Ok, so all the teachers are going to try to scare you out of taking AP. Its hard but not impossible.
I didn't really struggle to bad and i'm a big procrastinator and i'm lazy and yeah you get the point.
but if you figure out the minimum amount of work it takes to get the highest grade then that helps alot.
ALWAYS DO THE MINIMUM ATLEAST.
haha oh and be nice to parker & he'll be nice to you.

I am really excited to take this class! I have already started mentally preparing myself to pay attention and do hard work. I can already tell i'm going to have fun because Mr. Parker seems like a really cool teacher who can keep my attention :]

I am SUPER excited for this class. I have always been an overachiever, and most classes don't ever challenge me. I knew after making it my freshman year i needed a change i needed a challenge for once, but i wanted to enjoy the challenge not dread it. The moment i walked into Mr. Parker's class room on that tutorial i knew i made the right choice. I was happy about the summer work and i still am, i can not wait to start this class. Mr. Parker was so laid back and cool and even know he said the class was going to be really hard, i wasn't scared and i'm not scared. I'm ready to take on this work load.
-Amanda Geiger
This seems like a cool class. It will be a tough class but i am looking foward to taking on the challenge.

I'm excited for this class. I will work to my full potential, and I know I can take the challenge. I've been called an over-achiever before and it bugs. I'm gonna prove to people that I just work hard for my grades and that I don't just take easy classes. I also believe this class will be super fun, Mr. Parker seems awesome. I need to find out what college library will issue me a library card! Help! Well hope everyone takes care of themselves and the AP homework. Have fun, Enjoy your summer.
See you guys all in class.
PEACE!

I am really thrilled to take this class. It seems really interesting by what i have read and watched. I love learning about history and i cant wait. Parker seems like a really awesome teacher and he has a sense of humor which is great. i cant wait til school starts! =)) This is a teacher that i believe will totally make this class exciting!

im a verry lazy student with a 3.5-3.9 kind of grades and manage toget my work done at a procrastinaters pace (also a verry bad speller) how would you rate the classes over all on going lerning pace because i tend to like moving through things some what fast and eficiantly because its easier to work
smarte not harder
I am really excited to take this class. I have finished all the summer work and I am ready for the challenge ahead of me. I will take this class seriously and try hard to do my best.
hey mr. parker! listen, don't fail me for cheating on the first day because i cheated. i swear i didn't. the only reason me and several other people have the same movies is because we all watched them at the same time at my house. aren't we clever?
also, i agree with mikey on his work ethics, but I can spell, so thats a plus.
whoops. i totally failed on that first sentence. crap.
Why hello there little sophomores.
:O
(I feel so cool. xD)
If any of you guys find yourselves out of online resources and lacking for information, you can send me a message.
:D
Sadly enough, I spend countless hours on the internet, and I have a vast stash of useful sites...
Or, if you guys're doing something like a video or a powerpoint, I can hook you up with some insanely cool online tools (customized junk, song files, etc.). :D
(I'm a dork) xD
you can either contact me from MY blog (it may scar your mind),
as "Dyzzi" on Gaiaonline.com (which I'm on practically all hours of day and night.xD),
or my not-so-often-checked email address, "zugsgirl1@aol.com"
:D
Good luck!
--oh, and No, you don't have to know me in person to ask me about stuff. I don't care if we don't know each other.
Heck, I don't care if it's 2AM and your projects due tomorrow. xD
Hey there I'm still not finished with guns germs and steel Nathan no clue how you did it so quickly I've still got like300 pages left in two days sucks for me.
