*hugs* Maths is a pain. Even though I get pretty good marks in it, it is a pain. I hate it.
And don't worry. Maths, unlike some subjects, can be improved by sheer practice. So it isn't hopeless.

I dont like my teacher. She always tells us *puts on high shrill voice* "Join up your writing, dont make it too big, always put capital letters and full stops," And, we have spelling. So, we write them out, and IF we write any of them wrong, we have to write out the word, 30, or 40 times.

And I'm telling the truth.

*hugs people* oh, the problems I have had with my maths teacher. I won't go into it too much, I spent an entire evening explaining to my dad and it probably isn't the way things are anyway, it just seems like it to me. First he said I'd been going to less maths lessons (at my school you don't have to go to a lesson if you reeeally don't want to, but you can't just not do something like maths or english), which I hadn't. In the last week before the christmas holidays I only went to a couple of maths lessons, AS DID EVERYONE ELSE. That's it.
Also apparently my maths have dropped from "the higher end for her age group" to "ok". Ok is, well, ok, and I would be fine with that, but I don't see how I could have got worse as I am in fact trying much harder this year. However, my maths teacher has been paying less attention to me this year and only actually comes to see how I'm getting on in one or two lessons a week. He doesn't go through our maths books, so how can he KNOW my maths has got worse? >.>
Rant over. I could say more but I won't XD You know how annoying it is when you try hard and feel like you're getting better, and no-one else notices? *sigh*

I need a bit of a lifter upper

So the past week for me has been really hard. *prepares for pathetic sob story*

Okay, so here goes. First off this week, my sister has been refusing to talk to me, despite the fact that I have tried extremely hard to do a lot for her. Then I had a math test this week which I studied for all week, tried super hard on, and I just found out today that I bombed it majorly. (I'm the type of student that freaks out if I get a B, so you can imagine how upset I was) Then, to top it all off, I was so worried today about scholarship applications, school deadlines, and more tests next week that I entirely missed my own orchestra concert. I have been practicing 2 hours a day and rehearsing 5 hours a week for this concert and then I missed it.

I know it's totally pathetic, I just need to let it out

What instrument do u play? Finally, someone who thinks that music can be cool...

Sorry about your dog...My mum was a vet, and our dog got cancer. She had to put him to sleep herself... Luckily, he starred in a tv series, so we have him in action on the tv. Recorded. With a sky tv set.

I HATE school.My teacher always wants us to be silent or talk.But when she says be qutie we are loud and when she says talk we don't.

School ain't fun. My art teacher, Mrs. Southman, doesn't let you ask questions. She only comes around the room once in an hour to answer questions, if she remembers. If you walk up behind her, she yells at you and doesn't answer your question if she comes around. You can't go up to her desk, either, or she will scream at you. *hugs*

Hmmm...

Guess what...

I HATE SCHOOL TOO!
And my school is trying to FORCE me to go to a 'revision club' in maths. I have a detention after school because I missed 2 sessions. They can't force me to go to a club during my lunch! I'm f***ing p***ed.

I absolutley hate and despise school. Grades are no measure of just how smart someone is, and it seems to me that a lot of kids use straight A's to show how much better they are than everyone else. Since I got straight F's in homework last year and didn't do that much better in class grades I generally get the brunt of that.
Maybe it's not like that in other schools, but smart kids here are almost always stuck up snobs. I can tolerate a friend joking about it occasionally (as with my best friend) but when it becomes the main subject of our conversations and me constantly being insulted I do get really offended.
People always call me lazy too because all the standarized tests and an IQ test both prove that I'm a very smart kid. They don't know why I can't get good grades. The guidance counselor pretty much gave up, I got so annoyed with one teacher person (she teaches special needs kids so I was pretty mad at her to begin with ) that I stopped going to her office, and my teachers have offered to help but have yet to do anything. I really don't like people helping me, but it's still kind of depressing to know you've been given up on. I'm pretty sure they're all come to conclusion that I'm lazy anyways.
I'm not really. It's just when I try to write something down it all jumbles up in my head and I can't give a correct answer. I know what they're teaching in class and can ace any multiple choice test you put in front of me, but once it comes to the short answer part all hopes of passing it pretty much vanish. Same happens if for whatever reason I have to answer out loud.

That turned into a pretty long rant. Wasn't even what i came her to say either. xD
