Hi! Just stopped by to congratulate you on your win! Feel free to stop by anytime!!
So I originally began this entry Saturday, right? Well I had to eat dinner and go out, so I never ended up finishing it. Funny, I hadn’t realized that last Friday was the 13th. I’m normally not superstitious but you might be…
Here's what I wrote Saturday:
"Le weekend enfin! I am SO glad that it's finally the weekend!!! I wasn't allowed on the internet after my parents got really pissed off with me, which is odd because I'm such a good child. Here's what I wrote in Microsoft Word following the incident:
'So my parents blew up at me. It's like 10:30 PM, Friday night, and my parents decide to come into my room to talk. They wanted to know what stuff I had due on Monday so I told them and said, "don’t worry, I have it under control." They were all like, "when were these assigned? Why didn’t you start earlier? We’re taking away your internet privileges!" So here I am typing a blog entry in Microsoft Word… whenever I get to go back on the internet, I'll post this. Anyway, they said, "you never read the textbook, that's why you suck in school." I'm not even kidding. I told them very nicely that I was fine and I even have a 95% in Honors Biology! Seriously, I am so happy with my grade. Only one more marking period to go until we're free.'
"
I spent last Saturday and Sunday working on a whole darn lot of stuff. I had to study for my biology test (bet I failed... no joke), finish my timeline, illustrations, coloring plates, chapter outline, word list, packets, AND write a freaking ESSAY. I ended up writing three pages only to find that I had the format completely wrong. How much you wanna bet that my teacher won't finish grading them until at least a month? We've started watching yet another video/movie. Where does she get these things??? We've been watching one almost everyday in class. This time we got a seven-page packet that goes along with it that needs paragraph answers. Save me from death by immersion in acid.
So, do you love this weather or what?! It's like 80 degrees F where I'm at (*gasp* bad grammar). Tomorrow will be in the 70's but the rest of the week will be back in the 50's *sigh* ...when will spring stop jumping around on us? I'm so tired of coldness. Nasty weather earlier last week, non? It rained on Sunday. And Monday. And Tuesday. We had a nor'easter (sp?) a.k.a. gigantic wind storm/rain & snow/nasty weather caused by who-knows-what. Our bus was 15 (FIFTEEN!!!) minutes late and I froze my a** off at the bus stop in the snow/sleet/rain. Please! I'd love some warm weather in the 70's... not too hot or humid, but not too cold either.
Last week in English, I turned in my stupid essay (I'll get an F...
) and I presented my topic for the oral report (it took forever). On Wednesday this week, we have a vocab/paragraph test. We have to write a paragraph about our topic AND include vocab words in it... what is with her and combining stuff??? Today we had the killer Oedipus test. No doubt, I failed. I can't have done that bad but come on, quotes? Who memorizes those?
I got a 100 on my math quiz last week! Seeing as I rarely do well in Honors Geometry, I was happy to see this grade. Now, if only I could keep it that way! Probably won't happen since I don't understand the homework and we have another quiz tomorrow. Friday, my teacher set up a HUGE pyramid in the classroom. It was colorful and pretty. As much as I hate math, I do like my teacher. He's pretty awesome... for a math teacher.
Speaking of math, my mom took me to the Math Plus place yesterday (Sunday). It's every bit as stupid as Kumon. The only improvement I see is that the facility is large and bright and the apathetic teens (see the "Kumon" post) are called TA's (teacher's assistants) instead of "checkers." The program is still owned by another already-filthy-rich-so-why-do-they-need-more-money-from-this-crap husband and wife team. We still pay $95 a month and the levels go from A-T instead of A-Q (NOOO!!!). KILL ME NOW. 
In western civ, we've been loaded with study guides... ew. We went outside today to do impressionistic paintings (with markers, haha). What a joke. At least it was sunny. I'm going to fail my test.
Ah, our oh-so-*cough*fun*hack* classe de francais. The bane of my [current] existence. I'm not learning anything and as I type, that stupid write-a-play project is looming ahead. After reading "La Cage au Nuage," that student teacher says hey, wouldn't it be fun to make those suckers write a play? As if. To begin, he spent time teaching us how to TAKE NOTES. Um, stupid waste of time??? My brain is melting away from lack of use. He always gives us some stupid worksheets that take up so much of the time that could be spent working on writing the stupid skit. He gave us a worksheet about movies and he did a FREAKING BORAT IMPERSONATION. And guess what else? HE WOULDN'T SHUT UP!!! He'd pause, then start ALL OVER AGAIN. The whole class was laughing with him (or at him...haha).
Today (and Friday), we got no time to work on that stupid play/skit/thing because he spent the whole period going over one stupid thing. At this rate, we won't be able to get the play done, typed, memorized, and rehearsed before the due date. We can't work on it outside of school because it's a group project and we'd have trouble finding time with all the other crap going on. He told us today that a person is coming to observe him on Thursday. Bad idea... you know the kids will act up just to get him in trouble.
I really need to finish reading all these books that are currently on my "books to finish/read" list. Check out http://thebookworm.bravehost.com to see my lovely work. *sigh* Condolences to the people at Virginia Tech. So sad... even my heartless self is touched. À bientôt.
