d00d.

Holy schoolwork Batman.
So, for the past three years, I've been hearing about how senior year is totally hard course wise, and how I'd better be prepared.
Now, upon hearing this, I was thinking, "Alright, well, I'm coasting now, and my average is ninety something. I'll be fine."
Wrong much?
My classes this semester got totally screwed around.
I've got spare/concert band first block. That's cool. Sleep in three days a week, honk on my sax the other two.
Second block is Social Studies. I have always HATED Social with an extreme and fiery passion, unimaginable to most human beings. I can't remember dates, or who signed what treaty, and I really could care less about the unicameral system in Sweden.
Which, I think is what we're studying now.
I totally bombed the first test, which the teacher isn't counting (thank gods). 76%. Highest mark in the class. One of these things is not like the other...
Then is math.
Oh how I adore math. I really and truly do. I love the satisfaction of taking huge numbers and equations, and reducing them into nice, tidy answers. I love that I can look at a fraction or an exponent ,and automatically reduce it in my head in mere seconds, before my friends have even turned their calculators on. So math is good.
Now, here's where I got royally screwed. Because I'm a science-y girl, I decided to take ALL of the high school sciences. That's right folks, biology, chemistry and physics. I wrote my diploma for bio last year, and got a whopping 93. Which rocks.
Anyways, I signed up for chem and physics, along with calculus. Apparently, only five people did this, creating a dilemma of where to place the senior English class.
Long story short, I have to take English by Distance Education.
My past English teacher said I'm for sure a strong enough student to do this, I just have to be self motivated. But the thing is, for these writing assignments, it doesn't usually specify which type of writing. Essay? Journal? Informal? POEM!?
It's a tad bit infuriating. I typically write in a very informal manner, witha lot of satire.
I think what I need to do is find someone to read a bit of my writing, and maybe edit it or something. I think it's alright, but I'm not sure if my markers (who live like, 600 km away, wtf.) will think.
Any volunteers? (kidding)
