Pulling through
Mon Apr 04, 2005 19:45 (UTC -5)I got my report card today; it’s the first comprehensive and official report of my grades since the beginning of the semester in January. This has been my hardest semester ever, but I have a feeling that it can only get harder from here. Life just gets more and more difficult, doesn’t it? I have a feeling I’ll never get another break. After all, being an adult is all about doing taxes and other monetary things. Not to mention making payments and never having money. (Just as I was writing that sentence: “Jordon, I got the payment for your records, it’s $29.76.”)
That reminds me, today in Health class (which I’m taking online) I had to do a lesson about balancing one’s checkbook. It reminded me how little of that stuff I know (and felt inclined to learn), how trickily vague or obscure the questions on the Health tests are, and how hard I’m going to have to try to pass the final exam. ‘Cause if I don’t get at least a 60%, I get no credit for the class, and I have to take it again (online or off I don’t know, so I’d better be careful). Oh, and besides that, I have to be certified in CPR by the time of the exam. We were supposed to schedule a class when the course started (January). Big, big oops. Like, to the max. I’m not even kidding this time. I hope I can squeak into any future class that’s not filled. It has to be within a month or something. ĦAy!
NOTE TO SELF: SCHEDULE A CPR CLASS.
Actually, I’m going to try to do it right now.
Okay, now it’s later. We’re looking into classes. Glad I am getting that out of the way.
Oh, my grades. I managed to get straight A‘s (that’s what I have been trying to say this whole time) but not without considerable effort (i.e., more than usual). On my mid-term exams I got two B+’s (in History and Algebra) and two A’s (in Spanish and English). Funny, those grades correspond to which classes I like and which I don’t. Can you guess which are which?
This would be a cool skill to master: how to detect lies. But as the site warns, “Sometimes Ignorance is bliss; after gaining this knowledge, you may be hurt when it is obvious that someone is lying to you.”
