[tf] It's not that I don't like you...

Class, Tests, a Dress

PSAT testing tomorrow, from 7.55 in the morning to 11.00. This is going to fun, especially since I completely forgot the test existed until...today. And that I was signed up for it. So I'm going to hole up with my little study booklet and cram along with reading the chapter I missed in math, finishing my two math assignments, reading an essay, and writing a paper on that essay, all due tomorrow. I hate getting sick.

Onto the essay. (Also, yay new icon! I luffs it to bits.)

Math is Funky

I am going to miss my maths teacher.

I mean, you don't get many teachers who play music while his students are taking a test that isn't Christmas carols or Mozart. As an example from my math final today (which I forgot my calculator for and so needed something to calm me down before I overloaded from stress, for which this was perfect):

Yes there was dancin'
And singin'
And movin' to the grooving
and just when - it hit me
somebody turned around
And shouted!


Play that funky music white boy~ Play the funky music right~

Do the Happy Dance


I am OUT of Math Workshop! WHOOT!

*does a jig, does a jig, does a nerdy happy jig*

I passed my State Math Test with a 326, which is the exact minimum for passing. I missed the test by one point last year, and for being out of any sort of math for half a year, I don't think I did too bad. I could do better, of course, a lot better- but I passed, and I'm very happy with that for now.

...

...Now I need to find my councilor and talk to him about switching classes. This frightens me. (but I will do it, because I worked hard for it and I really want out of Math Workshop even though the teacher is awesome.)

This is Unfair

My sister, who is a year and a half younger than me, is a quarter of an inch taller than me.

...I'm gonna go cry now.

PS: However, I have chocolate cake and she is sick. I think I can forgive her.

PPS: I think the icon is very appropriate...exaggerated, yes, but appropriate.

PPPS: (can you even have a 'ps' that many times...?) PSATs today. Became bored at test questions. Mind wandered. This is not beneficial to good test results. December will bring the verdict.

...Hi

... Wow I haven't updated this in a while! 

School year's been...okay, I guess. I might have to take math workshop next trimester in order to help me pass my OAKS testing...

I already know it's probably not going to help much. I can't test. That's not a self-put-downer thing either.

I. Cannot. Test. At least not in math. I know how to do everything. I can do the work...I just can't test with it. If it's an actual right on the spot question that you have to figure out for a reason then I'm good with it...when it comes to 'take this paper, finish it, and if you fail your gonna drop almost a letter grade and be unable to make it up...'

I freak, flail, and FAIL. I did fine last trimester because tests weren't a huge thing. If I stressed myself out and failed one then I could make it up. I can't do that with the ones this trimester and it's driving me up the wall! I've thrown up twice this trimester (mot counting the two weeks where I was sick) because my stress levels are so high. 

I cannot wait to get out of this math class. *headdesk*

On a happier note. JROTC started marksmanship training a few weeks ago. Even though I hate loud noises and have heard enough horror stories from my ex-cop of a mom that being around guns gets me jittery...I kinda liked it. Sure cocking the thing in  standing position was a pain in the neck at first, and I only found out today that closing the eye you're not using really helps, but it was fun. 

We had the testing-thing for it today. I did alright in the prone position but standing left a bit to be desired. Since I've been shooting a white blob since we've started, however, (and almost hitting center each time) once I found out how to clear the scope up aiming was easy. Now if only I can get my hand to hold steady in standing...

Yes, I surprised my self and had a good time. I still hate the sound of them going off but I no longer twitch when they do.

I definitely have more to add but I'm getting bored with typing in this thing. :P I'm gonna go now.

Byy-yye!
