IB Confessions



Good for you. :P

Physics HL IB. Seriously.

Also, haven’t gotten any submissions in a while. Mocks and IA deadlines killed off everyone? :P

It’s not. I’ve been a little dead, lately, posting-wise especially, because of just how fucking stressed I’ve been for the past few weeks. I spend a lot of nights curled up on the couch crying about how much work I have, how badly I’m handling everything, thinking that there must be something wrong with me because I can’t deal like everyone else seems to be dealing. They’re not. It’s a program that works you, hard. It throws a bunch of stress at you and goes, “Here. Manage this.” And whether you coast through the majority of your in-class assignments or pour over every piece of homework as if it counts as much as the finals, you end up getting swept up by the sheer volume of work that the program just requires. But then there’s the nice thing about an International program - other students all over the world are wading through the same thigh-high levels of crap, and there are dozens of places online where they band together to counsel one another, trade tips, and figure out how to get through this veil of tears. If anyone who follows this blog, or just sees this when tracking the IB tag or something, ever wants any help dealing with stress… well, I’m not even taking Psychology, but I know what depression and stress disorders taste like and I’m always up to lend an ear or a hand or whatever’s needed. Don’t hesitate to send me a message. We IBs gotta stick together. c:

Shit IB Teachers Say

In lieu of a video, here’s a Twitter I started for Shit IB Teachers Say. Posts will start on Monday.

Submit your own teachers’ quotes here, or in a tweet to IBteacherssay! (: 

Preach. :| To be honest that’s how I feel about my EE. Also, sorry about the huge delays. I could give a few (dozen) excuses but I’m sure y’all have heard (and said) them all before. (:
I don’t really know how this works - I mean, I go to an International School in Europe. I’ve never been to one stateside. But I’m sorry if other schools give your school a hard time, whatever the cause. ): 
My school hasn’t gotten anyone into any Ivy Leagues in the past six years. So, I get you, anon.

HL Chemistry - Stereoisomerism with Second Life

Actually, I have no idea what game or program this guy used to make this. I assume it’s Second Life. :|

I apologize for the stagnation in confession uploads - but I guess y’all understand. It’s a busy, terrible time to be in IB.
