Listening to: Worthwhile by Cardiac Jacket
Feeling: rather excellent :)
Today was a mixture of really good moments and really.. well crappy moments to say the least. I've been completely stressed out about school ending and picking my grades up ASAP and its really starting to kick me in the ass. I'm missing a few major projects in my English class and so far my attempts to get them done and turned in were pretty hit and miss. Finally today the teacher started taking names and numbers of parents and calling them to let them know where we were in terms of grades and that we were failing badly. Of course I didn't want the teacher calling my mom, but oh well it happened and of course my mom chewed me out when I got home.
So when I got home I immediately got to work and kicked my homework's ass. I did four chemistry assignments, two trigonometry assignments, German, ten pages of English notes on Gilgamesh, and got two or so pages of world history notes copied into my notebook. Fuck yeah, go me. This is probably the most work I've ever done in one sitting since... ever. I get so distracted with everything around me and the temptation of my open laptop sitting three feet from me that I think "let me just check Myspace/Facebook/Xanga for ten minutes and get back to work." Ten turns into twenty which turns into an hour and next thing I know I need to go to bed and only a fourth of work is done. I procrastinate like no other, but with all this work done and ready to be turned in I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders and I can breathe easier.
During lunch today I went to my trig class and took a test that I missed yesterday and I was a little worried about what score I would get, but when he scored it before I left... I only missed two out of twenty! I GOT AN A! :):):) My teacher told me that he was extremely proud of me and that it bumped my grade up so all I have to do is continue turning work in and pass his final with a C or better and I'm home free and I can move onto calculus for my junior year. I'm going to talk to my counselor tomorrow about my schedule next year and iron out some minor details, but this has put me in such a good mood I'm actually looking forward to school tomorrow.
And tomorrow is my boy's birthday so we're going out to a techno bowl with some friends to celebrate. Phew now its time for bed!
