Springtime at SMA

Hello Readers

It is spring and the weather is as crazy as ever. The sun, rain, and clouds continue on a sporadic rotation every week. It’s wild. Within the past month, I have officially decided to attend Tulane University in the fall, so I am expecting much warmer weather next year. This month has definitely been dominated by making plans for a future, which is something the senior class can relate to. We’re planning our housing, classes, and overall futures. There is also a lot of online shopping, which is always fun. 

Also this month was the tennis sleepover. Often times, SMA sports team have team bonding activities during the season to work on teamwork and grow closer as a group of athletes. This year, we had a sleepover at one of the captain’s houses. We ate lots of food and watched movies. The next morning, a few of us went to Wilson and one of our teammates “promposed” to a German foreign exchange student. That’s another fun dance that is coming up next weekend, so I will write more about that in the next blogpost.

Fourth quarter is going by so quickly! Here is a short update on what I am doing in my classes:

Biology: hereditary unit

Calculus: study for the AP test

English: reading “Song of Solomon”

Chemistry: study for the AP test, working on electrochemistry 

History: studying industrialization in modern Europe

Psychology: watching “Ordinary People,” and studying emotions

American Government: legislative assembly simulation

See you next time!
