Best Memory whilst you were in IB?

Aww thanks everyone :smile:

And I've never done an all-nighter :eek3:

I am such a bad IB student.

You won't be getting your diploma any time soon.

I've never done an all nighter either. I go to sleep and then have to get up earlier the next morning instead to finish the work.
And the best memory will be leaving the IB and not having to go back to college. Until I do the retakes :p:

- My English oral was just epic, I actually had fun ripping my extract to shreds and finding out I got a good grade on it

- Opening up the easy exam papers and thinking "damn, I am definitely doing well on this exam today. Hasta la vista, [insert subject here]"

- My EE. Everything about it was awesome - I loved having so much freedom and I was so enthusiastic about it. As soon as I finished collecting my results (read: recording how fast it took for water to infiltrate soil in different parts of a park...) I typed up 3500 words that same night like 6 months before it was due. I got a B on it so I'm pretty pleased, especially as it was primary field research (and any EE involving primary research is notoriously difficult to do well on). I kinda miss being that enthusiastic - every time I have to do a lab report my motivation hits a low point...

- And just getting my results. I was annoyed with only one of my results but I got a result that was slightly better than I thought. And knowing that I finally finished it. The IB is a bitch but trust me guys, once you have your marks and your diploma is in your hand, it is so ******* worth it... you feel totally ready to take on whatever challenge life throws at you.

EDIT: PS I never did an all nighter and never stressed about deadlines :wink:

Only one allnighter in the whole IB? Wow, I'm talking to an organised genius.

P.S. Cute profile picture xd.

no my one allnighter was about two-three weeks ago.

I never pulled one during IB.

Handing in my Extended Essay, exhausted, reeking of coffee and having written and rewritten my essay the past four days, followed by my supervisor saying it was incredibly good.

PICKING OUT FLEUR ADCOCK FOR MY IOC....PERFECT.

Reading and discussing and analysing the climactic scene of Death and the Maiden for my WL2.

Okay before I get to the main post let me say one thing: I do actually hate IB. It might not seem like it from this post but I am just as bitter and resentful as all of you lot :biggrin:

But I've had so many great memories! Our IB group is only ten people so we've all bonded really closely and I cannot remember a single school day where we haven't had a laugh in at least one lesson :smile:

You do not understand how jealous I am of the fact that you only had ten people... That is just so amazing, I would have killed for such a small class. High scores would be accessible with such a small class! Our year started with like 150 and ended with 110. Massive classes too with like ~30 kids per class. I envy you :smile:

Aww I know, I think our classes are what made the IB bearable - they're all lovely people and there's one person in particular who is so naturally funny that he never fails to cheer me up. Couldn't have done it without them :smile:

Also I have to say, HL Geography lessons on my own were a little awkward sometimes :s-smilie:

HL psychology by myself was interesting. Seemed to spend more time explaining things to the teacher and planning his other lessons than going through my own stuff.

HL music by myself (class of 3 technically, but 2 of them bogged off/didn't turn up every other lesson) was occassionally awkward.

Ahh well the majority of my individual lessons were with my favourite teacher -she's actually like a second mum to the IB Geographers, we love her :smile:

But I did have one a fortnight last year with one of my least favourite teachers - he's really enthusiastic and everything but my god he can talk! And talk and talk and talk :s-smilie:

I have a number of memories. But if I had to narrow it down, it would have to be these.

1. Realizing my love for reading
2. Going into the IB trying to be someone I was not, and leaving the IB after a term and a half after realizing who I am

I will never forget my IB experience :smile:

Ohhhh I envy you to the end of this world... That is so amazing. I cannot tell you how that would change everything! Was it a private school?

Lol no it's a bog-standard mixed comprehensive! We only have such small classes because it's the first (and only :frown:

) year in the school to do IB, and they were running A Levels at the same time so only 10 of us actually did IB. Wouldn't have it any other way though :smile:

It's been great for German in particular, we were just talking all the time so we picked it up really quickly - except we have a rather... unusual vocabulary. That's what comes of being in a class with two 17-year-old boys, I guess :rolleyes:

Ahh I wish my school offered German! But that is soooo cool still. 25% of my school is IB, and the state has been going through education cutbacks so classes were stupidly massive... Really bothers me.

Yes, is my Spanish class we learned all the... fun... vocabulary! Although my teacher is the one who brought it up at times.
Which other exams did you take?

Our IB coordinator... He's so strange he became an iconic figure to every one in our class, I can't really describe in what way though... It's just everything about him put together...

Other than that:
-Our class trip to London (our school is in Turku, Finland)
-The awesome Finnish educational system (I only studied in Finland for 3 years (pre IB and IB). The educational system here is awesome, really relaxed, all the teachers are basically your friends, we have the least class hours in the world...
-Our awesome class.

Ahh I love my German :suith:

I've been doing it since Year 7, it's sooooo much better than French!

Aww that's sucky :frown:

My year was the first and only year to do IB though - the headmaster was new in 2008 and decided to start it without being aware of quite how much it was going to cost. So about this time last year they told us that they couldn't afford to run it after us. Which is crap but the ten of us are now known by everyone in the school :biggrin:

My subjects are in my sig :smile:
