wall of text comin up
quarter is ending this week and i am pretty terrified?? i have a few big grades left in each class (2 lab reports in science, an essay and test in english, project in art, essay in social studies, and a test in math) and i am pretty scared that in this last week i'll screw everything up. i'm actually doing pretty good in most of my classes; i have either a 97 or higher in 5 out of 6 of my classes, but i have a 90 in math.
and i know i sound pretty overdramatic when i'm complaining about a 90 when i'm doing good in my other classes while some kids are trying their hardest and still not getting the grade they want; honestly i am chill with this A- because my other grades are fine but my mom is absolutely not chill. she asked to see my grades the other day since she knows that the quarter is ending as well this week and afterwards she proceeded to yell at me about that 90 (while literally saying nothing about my other grades) and eventually ended up bringing some crap that i screwed up on 2 years ago which wasn't even relevant to my current grades. she said she would hit me should i get a B in any of my classes (which isn't too big of a deal, i know it's still a pretty common punishment in most households).
what irritated me is that my mom told me that i should "follow the lead of that kid from the nearby highschool and just kill yourself" (a student from a nearby highschool had recently been found dead due to suicide). and?? not only it is incredibly rude and overdramatic to tell your daughter to kill herself over a damn A-, i told her calmly that it wasn't very kind to pass off that highschool student as a casual example. she told me that the kids who commit suicide are usually "ill in heart or ill in mindset" and she said it would be better that they had died anyways. like ok yep that's nice, go and tell the parents of that highschool student that their son is "ill in mindset" and should've died anyways
annoying moms aside, i have a math test and an english test coming up tomorrow. i'm more worried about the math test - i need to get at least a 94 in order to keep my grade at a 90, and i am pretty paranoid that i will jack this up. i'm one percent away from a B+ and if i end up with a B+ as my math grade for first quarter, then i am done for.
