Please analyze what he said. I sent an email asking for a schedule change to my school principal and then I got his reply back. He said " I cannot promise a schedule change, but I would like to help you in this situation. We will get back with you". I really want to know what exactly " we will get back with you" means. It has been 3 school days, but nothing has happened. Winter break is coming. Did he just want to procrastinate? Is it OK that I go talk to him face to face?

I don't like my school counsellor. I already took my English 3 in sophomore year. However, my counsellor literally forced me to retake it just because of the fact that English is not my first language. She thought the best I can do is graduate from high school. So she frequently talked to me about how important the state tests were. I think only those who are dumb will fail these tests. My goal is to go to college.. I took the SAT last week. Although the score is not out yet, I'm pretty sure I can get at least 1350 on reading +math section. Why does she always underestimate me? I can make straight A's in classes.

As a foreign student, how do I make friends in US? I have been here for two years and found that I can hardly make friends. It's not because I don't understand English(although I speak English with an accent, my reading and writing skill are even better than the majority is and I can comprehend almost 90% what people say) but because I can't find any interested topics to talk about with others and do not know where to start, and people tend to assume i don't speak English.so I always pretend I don't know some questions on my homework and ask others for help in order to talk to them, but this strategy can only make some acquaintances, not good friends. I have only one friend so far, because he sits in front of me and is extraordinarily sociable/talkative; he can't stop talking for more than 1 minutes. He would likely talk to himself if nobody is listening to him. so what should I do to make some closed friends in US? Some random facts: I don't play sports. Good grades. Not a typical nerd, only study before tests. The impression I give to others is I'm shy; however, I'm actually very out-going.
