First post of the year ~ 30 something more to go?

Surviving day by day... and fighting confusion.

It can't possibly have only been four weeks of school. It seems like it's been so much longer. So far, AP Physics B has lived up to my expectations as one of the hardest classes at 'Iolani. (I say "one of" because my Precalc-Honors teacher told me that PCH was the hardest class at 'Iolani). Sometimes I feel swamped with the homework and reading, and I'm finding it so much harder than Chemistry and Biology. Physics isn't just memorization, like Bio, or even plugging numbers into equations, like Chem. It actually requires thinking, which could be a problem. :D The labs help a lot, though, so I can kind of understand what the reading is trying to tell me. The little powerpoint explanations are helpful too. :) I feel like I understand about 90% of what we go over, but actually doing it on problem sets and tests is another matter altogether. I am worried about the pace of the class getting up to speed, though. It already seems pretty fast to me. :O
