I got an A on my Geography Extended Essay. 😀
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
Life of an IB student.
Last high school class at Churchill
I attended the last of approximately 3250 classes total from Gr. 8-12 at Churchill Secondary School yesterday. This summer is going to be so boring. No EE, no TOK drafts, no English books (yet)…
TOK Essay…Done!
Wednesday February 15th: TOK Essay: Done! Completed! Finished! No more drafts! Yay! (Not that much work needed to be done on it, but it just feels good to have finished something else towards my IB diploma :P) Next up: Geography field study! (Geography > History).

I looked at the booklet after the exam ended, which was very stupid of me. Anyway, all mock exams completed! Yay! Now back to weeks of classes! Yay!
