Guys, you will never guess what!!!!
I had a real(well, no, I forced myself to get hysterical and then started crying from how insane I could force myself to sound)emotional breakdown!!!
Unfortunately, I am not writing to you from the mentality ward (big sigh).
I could have completely faked the sick thing.
My sister is sick this week as is my mother, and she asks me every day how I feel.
If I could fake strep throat, which even the doctor believed, I could fake this.
But I looked at the worry lines etched in her forhead, and how pink her cheeks were from the blood surging through her body, and the red nose that I called her Rudolph for (for some reason, she did not get the humor in this one. My mother is very vain.)and thought about the fact she had raised a devil like my sister, and, suddenly, I felt completely sorry for her.
Speaking of feeling sorry for myself, do you know how my vocabulary midterm in spanish went?
i horrible !
She read us these small passages and the only words I understood were "el", "ella" and "ojos".
So, what was poor, defenseless moi (maybe I should have taken French and would have done better.) do other than cheat as soon as I saw the answers in plain view (hey, I'm a human, too!!)
Needless to say, I do not think I did very well.
Tina, my good friend, said that she got about 20 wrong (how many were there, you ask? 20)
I have to go now
later!!!!
I will update with you if I have further results.
UPDATES!!!!!!
I took the science practical, and I believe I did very well.
There were 15 questions, and I think I got one wrong, because I was studying from Tina's notes, and she wrote lysosome instead of mitochondria.
But I think I got one of the highesst marks because me and Tina and our friend Valerie where filing and I saw a couple of grades, although I can't remember who they belonged to, and they were all below 10. I think I might have done better than anyone else in the class (not to brag, just guessing) and I hope I did.
Last semester, science was my worst subject, and this year it's one of my best.
Well, until next time!!!

You really are a great writer. The way you write is so personal that the reader feels they are almost living your life. I really think you should write more of these, like once a week or something. I'd start a diary like this at PnP, but sadly, my life just isn't as exciting as yours is.
Heh... breakdown you say? I have those every few weeks when the workload at school is high, and time is low. I pass through it by drawing on my legs, believe it or not. Oh! And i found a danger in studying, which is true, and painful, and let's you miss two days of school! I hurt my neck STUDYING! My head was tilted to the side for two hours, and it totally stopped working. Although, as stated above, painful, ironically enough, I missed the test I was studying for! So when anyone says studying won't hurt... remember me and my poor neck, which is still recovering.
Being sick isn't fun. I missed three weeks of school because I was sick. Doctor thought I had Mono (Kissing disease, ewwwww!) and Strep throat. I had to take a blood test, which came back negative for Mono. And then I had the strep test, which also came back negative! I'd say it was funny, but my doctor didn't know what was wrong with me! And I guess I never will know what was wrong with me... Oh well.
And just to let you know, i'm told by everyone I know that french and Spanish are very similar. Learn one, and you learn the other very quickly. That's why I started doing my french homework, halfway into the school year ^-^; I want to learn spanish, as I feel I will use it more then Hebrew or Yiddish, which I learn at school.
My midterms were horrible. I passed everything, but I only got two midterms (out of 5) over 70%. And they were the most unlikely of all subjects! Canadian history, and Math! I suck at both, and I got such great marks! I surprise myself sometimes.
Welcome !
