Exploring Shinjuku District Our hotel that we were staying in the previous few days is located in the Shinjuku District of the Tokyo City, but in those three days of exploring Tokyo we did not spend very much time actually looking around Shinjuku- we’d spend the first several hours of this day giving Shinjuku […]

So… AP World History. There’s quite a lot to say about this AP, so I’m going to put it in a series, just like I did with AP Chemistry. How should I start? I guess like with all the other courses, I should describe the paths available in my school and why I chose what

If you’ve read my previous Course Reviews, you’ll probably remember that Integrated 2 was hell for a lot of students taking that path. Every teacher in Integrated 2 always justified their harsh grading with Oh, you think we’re grading hard? Wait until you get to Integrated 3. They grade so much more difficult than we

Visiting a Fish Market (And dying of heat stroke) So our first full day of exploring Tokyo was definitely something interesting- we visited the Japanese Burj Khalifa, saw a few religious sites, the biggest collection of mice and headphones on Earth (enough to give my little brother a run for his money).

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- How did I survive this?! This is one of the hardest- possibly the hardest class offered at my school altogether!

Metro System + Imperial Palace Okay, so this is quite surprising, but I actually didn’t sleep for as long as you’d expect. I was losing it the night before – feeling like I might collapse on the floor because of sleep deprivation at any second- unable to process everything I was seeing, there was a

This is the beginning of my sophomore year course review- the first class on the first day, and probably as easy as classes will get in my sophomore year. I’m writing this less than a week after trimester 1 ended, and overall I’d say this is as easy as the Tri gets, which is to

LAX to Haneda The ten-hour flight across the Pacific had begun, and we were racing down the runway at a speed that continued to get faster and faster. I started to feel more gravity work on me, and pretty soon we were in the air, racing in the direction of the ocean. I could

Before Leaving I am writing this part about an hour after returning from Japan: WOAH. That was a lot- it lasted only twelve days, but there’s so much to explore and see in Japan that it might as well have taken a few times longer. I have more than enough stories to tell here- I

This is it- the last class of my freshman year of high school. When the bell rang and school let out for the last time, I was in my Honors 2 classroom with my group of friends, excited about the summer and JP2024 (One more day when I’m writing this! So close!!!). So how did
