It's the Start of the End...

Hello. If you have reached this page then I really don't know why but congrats to you. 

So. You want to be an AP Biology student? Or you are currently an AP Biology student? 

That's good. Have some cookies.

Four for you, Glen CoCo.

Alright, let's get down to business.

Some words of advice from me to you. Yay.

1. Have fun- this class really teaches you a lot. Just be ready to absorb the information.
2. Be ready for discussions- if Landry tells you to watch videos before class then holy flipping A, you best watch those videos.
3. Don't take advice from me- I am super sarcastic and probably got on Landry's nerves more than he let me know.
4. Stay in the class (duh) and work super duper hard- this is pretty self explanatory.
5. EXTRA CREDIT IS A BEAST. FACE THE BEAST AND CONQUER THE BEAST.
6. Don't be intimidated- if there is one thing that I learned from this year is to be confident in your abilities and to face each challenge as they come. Right now, don't be concerned with the AP test at this exact moment in time. Be concerned with finishing that awesome summer assignment that I'm sure a lot of you forgot about (cuz lets be real, I totally did).

Landry is fabulous. Just remember that and have tons of fun. I'm sure many of you are bored by this point and are reading these because it is a grade for you. I'll let you guys go now. Once again, and for the last time, I will quote Mr. Burrows and leave you with these wise words for you to rememeber this year...

'Live. Do not merely exsist." 

-Mr. Burrows.

Stay classy San Diego...and AP Biology,

Learning AP Biology with Friends!

This year in AP Biology...well it was an interesting year. In a good way. I think.

Starting off with Ecology and going all the way up to Metabolism and Energetics, there was a lot of information thrown at us. 

I want to think that I learned many things this year. I think I did learn many things this year such as...

1. Extra Credit is a beast that needs to be dealt with. 
2. There are a lot of plants out there and they conduct photostynthesis.
3. There are a lot of animals out there and they conduct cellular respiration.
4. Plants do also conduct cellular respiration. 
5. I am really bad a rememebering what I learned this year.

Most of all, I learned that AP classes really aren't that scary. I learned to have confidence in myself that I can succeed in these types of classes. Confidence was a major thing this year for me as Junior year is the most stressful and important year. Landry really taught me that with a good attitude and a solid head between your shoulders, a lot of good things can happen. 

This class was really benefical to me in numerous ways. It really solidified the fact that I want to do something biology and math related for a career. It also opened up the door to many different career options that weren't a thought in my head 9 months ago. I learned how to use my time wisely - which was a good thing because homework was a force to be dealt with. 

I loved this class and Landry spaced everything out very well. Although we didn't get to all of the information, the majority of the info covered was the majority of questions that were asked on the AP test. 

Yay!
