today in the mail i received my results from the cst i took back in may. for those who aren't native californians, the cst is a state exam that checks to see your progress in school subjects, i think. they added world history as a subject this year. however, they didn't include one question about the holocaust. here's the subject, score, and performance level:
-english-language arts, 429, advanced.
-geometry, 266, below basic.
-world history, 461, advanced.
-biology, 389, proficient.
-life science, 431, advanced.

clearly math isn't my greatest subject and i don't know who's to blame: the horrible teacher yet kind teacher or the defiant student? perhaps both. i had an appointment some days ago with my therapist. we discussed my identity issues, sexuality, and attitude. she suggested i make a list of things i love. i'll make a hand-written journal to take with me on the next appointment and make the list here first.

the people, places, and things i love or appreciate:
-my mom
-my family
-my friends
-my teachers
-my therapist
-photography
-fashion
-history
-politics
-china
-music
-demented, odd, weird, nonsensical jokes
