somehow I need a 65 on my Math final to get an A but it's an easy class
mental haven
i need to keep all A to still be valedictorian and the salutatorian keeps singing up for cc classes to try to beat me and i have now piled on an additional 6 classes for the spring semester
my midterms aren’t till january 20
dim badge
damnnn youre valedictorian
mental haven
😀 yes!
hoary skiff
crazy, our school district doesn't do rankings so our valedictorian status is basically worthless
hoary skiff
I have literally 0 idea where I stand gpa wise for my class
mental haven
yeah i think it’s becoming less popular
hoary skiff
all I got from my counselor was a vague "somewhere in the top"
mental haven
it’s kind of funny bc i just met this guy my freshman year who was going to brown from my school and he was valedictorian and i was like i want to be valedictorian and then that’s how i decided to lock in
hoary skiff
ah that's cool
mental haven
but i am a cheerleader and the general public thinks i am stupid because i am shy and they don’t talk to me 😞
unreal flame
my school has ranks, seats in order of ranking/honors, but doesn’t have an official valedictorian rank
mental haven
but i’m going to surprise them at graduation
