  Junior Year-Piece of Cake

  With rising cases of corona virus around the world, school began to shut down and students shifted their learning to at home. Junior year was suppose to be the hardest year of high school, but instead it turned out to be the easiest school year. Even with 4 AP classes, the workload was significantly less. And for the first 2 weeks of online learning, I remember feeling blessed as most of teachers did not assign any work. Homework used to take me 2-3 hours, but now less than an hour. Some days I don't even do homework since my teachers give us multiple days for one assignment. The class that gave a lot of work was though was APUSH. With online schooling, I also got to sleep in more and play games and watch TV/netflix. I barely stepped outside the house too. AP testing was also cut down to 45 minutes instead of the usual 2-3 hours. Although there were many pros to online schooling, there were also cons. As days went by, it just felt redundant and most of all boring. Some days I wish I was actually at school. I haven't seen my friends in month and it gets tiring to just stay at home. Sadly, grades for second semester is pass and fail so although I have As in my AP classes, it won't count towards my GPA.
