Concept 13

There are many roads that I wish I had taken. I wish that I would have not purposely failed Algebra 1 in 8th grade. If I would have passed the test, which I knew I would have if I had tried, I would now be in Calculus, or done with my mathematics class period. This parallel life would intersect with my current one daily, but I would just have a difference in coursework and future coursework. If I had passed that test, I would have one less class to worry about in college and I would a better looking transcript.

Freaks and Geeks Reflection

My favorite episode so far has been the last one that we saw called Kim Kelly is my fried. I liked this episode the most because it was really daring and bold. A lot was resolved in this episode and the episode was really comedic as well. Sam, Kelly, Lindsay, and Daniel all resolve their problems in a comedic way. This episode was full of twists and turns.
