Had the perfect example of how low high school student maturity levels are. My Chemistry teacher was writing on the board what we need to go over, and instead of putting down 'Dimensional Analysis' all the way, he just abbreviated analysis to the first four letters. Almost everyone started giggling.

But it is funny!
Doing notes, teacher wrote on her paper, "P.155" but with her handwriting. It looked like "piss" and I told it to my friend sitting next to me, where he told others, until maybe 1/3 of the class was giggling.
This also happened in the same class (Geometry) and that we were learning AAS SAS theorems, etc. but our teacher mentioned Angle Side Side and everyone was like, "Huehuehue ASS theorem..."
For a Geometry class, we're pretty immature.
I almost did it just to see if he was bluffing or not.
No, maybe even worse... they were my friends!
I went to sharpen my pencil in Maths and came to sit back down next to my friend, and she went, "You know, you have a nice figure." and I was like, "Umm... thanks?" and then she went, "I mean, you look like one of those tomboys that wears boardshorts and a bikini top, and walks across the beach and all the guys are like *pulls a drool face*" I just said, "Umm... I do wear boardshorts and bikini top, but I've never had that happen to me... >.>"
Then in English, I was talking to my other friend, about random shizz, because that's what we're like, and then she comes close to me, then pulls away with this horrified face going, "Oh my God, I was just about to kiss you!" ...I returned the horrified face.
Oh, and in English, another friend was away, so I glorified her chair and said she was there in spirit, then another friend went, "Oh, look! She's on the floor!" and she picked up this giant ball of hair out of a hairbrush or something. So, then our friend was replaced by a giant ball of hair, until I showed the teacher, and he looked at it like a kid who'd just got their favourite toy. He picked it up, went to his desk, got some sellotape, and stuck it to his face.
...That's my school!
And no I'm not flirting, I've used up all my abilities on most of my friends. 
*Ponders* You sound an awful lot like my best friend... hyper, funny, sexually awkward?
P.S. I have a tendency to cross lines, tell me if I do I'll be damned if I notice
In English, we have to argue for our Speaking & Listening assessment. Thing is, me and my friend agree on literally everything. We finally decided today that we were going to do '50 Shades of Grey vs. Twilight - Which is worse?'. I'm saying Twilight is worse, she is saying 50 Shades of Grey is worse. I haven't even read Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey.
So my English teacher approached me at the beginning of the period and asked me if I'd like to move up to Honors English, citing that I was a smart cookie, a cookie with chocolate sprinkles. Interesting analogy. He either said that I had until the end of class (which can't be right) or the end of the week to decide. I wasn't sure what he said because he was talking quietly and the classroom was growing noisy. Nonetheless, I'm not 100% decided what I'd like to do. Last time I joined an honors class was back in middle school, and that ended with me being not only stressed but doing quite badly on the tests by the end of the year. Not to mention, if you take Honors English, you have to take AP History. I didn't even know AP History existed, but the AP alone tells me it'll be hard and stressful.
I think I've made up my mind.
Don't switch, it's not worth the stress. Unless you plan on being an english major or you want to go to a university with a low acceptance rate, there's no point. Enjoy high school while you've still got it.
I wish my English teacher called me a cookie with sprinkles, mine just calls me Luke.

What I have isn't funny (well not like that at least), but the same thing happens in classes like in metal work where the teacher tells someone to harden up, and students start giggling.
My initial goal when I started high school was to do well, but not get stressed or miserable over it like some of the advanced class kids seem to get. That's not to say I don't take it seriously- I do, I just don't want it to completely consume my life. I've mostly been able to abide by that goal, minus a final project for an elective that has me somewhat concerned, and I'm still an A/B student as I always was in the past. I'm happy with where I'm at, though I'll be focusing more attention to those B classes for Finals in hope of an A.
I still stand by my previous decision to stay in normal English, though. I like it there- it's my favorite class, and I'm at the top. And I sure do like being at the top of a normal class better than being near the bottom of an honors class.
Google the information you already have that came from the loc.gov source, then switch out your current sources with those other sources that have the same information as loc.gov does. That should free up your ability to use the LOC's website as a source for things that are harder to find such as the LOC's influence on American culture and research.
For example, if loc.gov told you that the Library of Congress was established in the year 1800, google search the phrase "library of congress established 1800." A result of the search would take you to this article. Now switch out your current loc.gov source with the one from the aforementioned page, and now you can use loc.gov as a source again.
Brilliant stuff, thanks! Research projects are my weakness, and with this being the biggest project of the year I've been stressing over this over and over again. This'll make it twice as easy to get sources, really grateful for the quick response!
I had two of them right but wrote them down wrong because I left out the tens digit. Now I have to retake it.
Today the administration let kids take their phones out to take pictures of the clock on 12:12. At least it got us out of a few minutes of geometry. Still stupid nonetheless,
Oh and also failed a test in auto tech by one question today. Test took me about an hour and was on micrometers. Lowest you could get was an 88% and I got an 86%.
