Some of you might be wondering why I’m posting this so early.. I’m supposed to be at work till at least 9:15pm today! Well today during school I got a rather unexpected and relieving phone call from one of my co-workers. I didn’t have to go into work at all today because there was a water main break in front of our store. It’s like god knew I needed the day off.
I got home from school around 3:10pm and watched an episode of “My Super Sweet Sixteen.” Those girls are so ridiculously lucky.. I had a small party for my 16th bday. My friend threw it for me, and honestly it was a kind of fucked up party, not to mention a huge shit show. Anyways, after i got done watching the show, I took a nap for about an hour and a half. Me + school + fasting + sickness = death. Speaking of fasting.. we kinda… today I went to the counselors office to try and get my schedule changed. For the third time. I’m a rather pick and persistent person, and when I don’t get my way, well you’ve got a problem on your hands cause I’m not gonna stop until I get my way. The problem this time is my math class. I have a problem with my schedule every semester, and its such a pain in the ass. The math class I’m taking is called intro to calculus. I took pre calc last year and intro to calc and pre calc are pretty much the same thing. As a junior last year, I was in one of the highest math classes (I’ve always been decent at math) but due to having a hand full of really bad colds (much like the one I have now), mono, appendicitis, and the death of a close friend, well I’m sure you can imagine how much school I missed. Since I missed so much school it caused me to fall really behind in a most subjects, especially math, and I ended up teaching myself most of what I learned. Both semesters I got a C in pre calc, so my teacher decided I wasn’t well enough prepared for AP Calc AB, which is where the rest of my class went, so she put me in intro to calc. Little did I know, I will now be reviewing what I learned last year for all of first semester, and most of second semester. I could have just accepted this and been happy to have a blow off class, but I’m already extremely bored in this dumb class. So I could go on and on about this [once I get typing it’s so hard for me not to pour ever detail into here], but pretty much I went to my counselor and tried to get switched into an AP Stat class, but it wouldn’t work because I would have to drop Honors German 5, Honors Physics, or Symphonic Orchestra. And I didn’t want to do this.
My final schedule for semester 1 of my senior year:
1. Multimedia (blocked B days)
2. Honors Physics (blocked C days)
3. Symphonic Orchestra
4. Intro to Calculus
5. English 4
6. Honors German 5
7. Intro to Business
I’ll most likely update later tonight, if not I will tomorrow for sure.
Stay strong, xx Sarah
You seem like a really smart cookie! I'm sorry you missed so much school last year! You really went through a lot of hardships =( I can't empathize with everything, but I had appendicitis in 7th grade so I at least know how that feels. It must have been a lot harder having to deal with Junior year along with all that other stuff too though. What instrument do you play by the way?
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better!
Aw thanks hun! I’m really not that smart. I only have a 3.3.. and compared to my sister who graduated with a 4.57 (and no, I’m not exaggerating), It’s really nothing. I’ll never compare to her.
ReplyDeleteAppendicitis sucks doesn’t it? I actually think I ruptured my appendix myself.. it’s a long story. I’ll write about it in the next week!
I play the violin, been playing since 3rd grade. Do you play anything?
Thanks. Hopefully I’ll be better by Friday!
xx Sarah.
