This is it... MY SOPHOMORE SLUMP!

First of all, I realize that I haven't typed anything of substance in a while.
For this, I am sorry.

So, yeah.

It seems nothing is going well for me so far.

Should we start with 1st block?
Algebra II. I wasn't even good at Algebra I, back in 8th grade. I blame it on a bad teacher, and I still do, but its definitely affecting my grade now. I still have an A, but JUST barely. I will have a 90.11 in that class for my progress report. That will not do.
And it wouldn't be so bad, but its stuff I can help. Like, slacking on my homework. The ONE homework check we'va had in that class was (of course) for the one time I didn't do my homework. Since then, I have forgotten assignments, but I've never intentionally not done my work. (we do work in class, and I keep thinking I've finished my work before class ended, then I get in there the next day, and I hadn't done it. S**T!
Besides that, I didn't get most of chapter 5. I could've asked Mrs. Payne for help, but I won't. I don't know what's wrong with me.
I'm in there every morning to put down my stuff, but I'm, like, afraid to say "Mrs. Payne, I didn't really understand # 7" or whatever. It's my pride. I've never struggled with a class before, and it really embarrasses me to not just GET IT.

ok. Block 2.
Drivers Ed.
This is Drivers Ed. The easiest class in the curriculum. Other than being mind-numbingly dull, it's simple

Block 3.
World History.
Another easy class. But not nearly as boring as Drivers Ed, because we can TALK, and I have a lot of friends in here, but jeez! Read the section, do the questions at the end of the section. Read the section, do the questions at the end of the section. Read the section, do the questions at the end of the section. POINT O' HISTORY. Read the section, do th questions at the end of the section. Read the section, do the questions at the end of the section. Read the section, do the questions at the end of the section. Mini-research project. Read the section...... Honk shoooooo. HOnk shoooooo.

Block 4.
Band.
So much drama. We just spend way too much time together. Apparently, everyone in my section thinks I'm awful and just.... ugh.
It seems that band kids have trouble telling the difference between when I'm being sincere, when I'm joking, and when I'm just flying off the handle, so you shouldn't take me seriously.

Actually, the only person who can clearly discern jokes, sincerity, and pissed off-edness is Richard. I love him.

Honestly, Driver's ed with him is probably the best part of my day. He just gets me, and I don't have to deal with all that girly drama crap when I'm with him. He's SO my best friend.

So, like Bri, I have many things I need to work on. BUT, unlike Bri, I am not brave enough to post all my flaws on the web where everyone can see.

I am making a list, just for my eyes.

Wish me luck?

*whimper*

Could today have been any worse?

I doubt it.
