So, I've just felt crappy this entire weekend. Today, I woke up with a sore throat, but only on the left side and only when I swallow or drink something. It has gotten a little better, though.

On Friday night, or technically, Saturday morning, I couldn't sleep. At about 2 A.M. I just started crying, and I don't even know why I was doing it, but I couldn't stop. That's a pretty common occurrence for me, but I still hate it every time it happens. I finally went to sleep at about 4.

I cannot miss any school next week because there are exams. French is first. Gotta love THAT. My teacher barely even attempted to help us review. Bitch. I guess I can kiss my 99 average goodbye, then... But I will be fine as long as I get a better grade than Irritating Girl and French Class Girl. :p

The only exam I'm REALLY worried about is geometry. Stupid geometry is stupid. It is, as always, my lowest grade by quite a good bit. (Yet it isn't even all that bad. It's an 87 or 88, but to me, an 88 feels like a 60.) I am so pissed about the test last week. I didn't even get to finish! Half of the class didn't! Hate it.

I hate the way I feel when I have a geometry test. It's not just because I'm expected to be an A student, and geometry ruins that. It's because no matter how hard I try at geometry, I will always do badly. I studied for an hour and a half, and I didn't even finish my test. It's like that in a lot of other things I do too.

I'm kind of nervous about next semester... I'm going to have the history teacher who HATES me. You know, the one who was my gym teacher in middle school. She pretty much views me as a waste of oxygen because I nearly dropped weights on myself in gym class many, many times. D: I'll never forget the time she singled me out in front of the half of the eighth grade, kicked me out of class for the day because she didn't want to deal with me, and yelled at me about "disrespecting her authority" (WTF?) afterward because I just couldn't do it. My friend came up to me later that day and said the teacher was a stupid bitch for kicking me out instead of helping me. God, I miss that girl. :'(

I've heard that the history class is stupidly easy, though. That's a good thing.

In other news, mother keeps making everyone and everything miserable. She just made Brat Child erupt into a fit of screaming, probably over something stupid. Last night, she kept pissing off my dad and snapping at everyone. I am so done with this family... Ugh. I am so tempted to tell her to get a job and get the hell away from me. She is STILL mooching off of her ex-husband, and it pisses me off. They have been divorced for months now... She has no business still living here. This is MY DAD'S house, and she needs to GET OUT.

I had the same trouble with

I had the same trouble with Algebra 2 that you are with Geometry.

Consistently, I got C's and D's on quizzes and tests.

The thing that really helped me was re reading the section that you learn in class and doing extra problems before a quiz or test.

Now you might already do that but if you don't, try it. Putting in that little bit will pay off big. (I'm an A student myself, so I know getting a B feels like failing.)

Now about the family... Wanna come to Ohio and spend ouChristmas with my family?

We're pretty cool. :)

I hope you feel better, your finals go well, and your family becomes less bitchy.

I do try to re-read the sections, but the book isn't very good at explaining either. It is better than the teacher's "lessons," though.

And yes! I would definitely like to spend Christmas anywhere but here. x_x

about geometry...

A B+ is a good grade.

I say this only because it's a fact I was never very good at accepting in high school. (I was a straight-A student until I got a C in calculus my last semester of high school, so I'm familiar with the whole high-achiever mindset.) I remember freaking out one time that last year because I thought I was going to have a B... on a PROGRESS REPORT. It wasn't even my semester grade (though I later freaked over that as well). I blame my parents for much of this, but I know I must have internalized it somewhat too.

If you have a teacher who's nice about taking time after class to explain things to confused students, and/or who gives extra credit assignments, both of those can be really helpful. I'm just saying that if you do end up with an 88, what of it? The world is not going to end.

I know an 88 isn't really bad, but it's so much lower than my other grades. :(

My geometry teacher isn't very good at explaining and does not give extra credit. I know an 88 isn't the end of the world, but it's still frustrating.

Do you have that weird Geometry book

that has all the weird names? It says "same side interior angles theorem" when my Geometry teacher says he's never heard of that before, that it's always consecutive angles theorem.

I think my geometry book has both... consecutive is much easier, though. It allows for better abbreviations. xD
