Write to live, live to write.


AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Wednesday, February 18, 2009


Seriously, what do I have to do to pull my grades up? Study? Scratch that, I can't study. Because nothing gets into my head. I'm supposed to be studying ting xie now but I can't get it. The moment I stop writing that word I forget it all over again.
Who gives a damn about writing chinese words you'll forget five minutes afterwords anyway?
I am practically drowning in homework. First I had to polish up a geog poster, then search for incentives and make up my own, then write the write up (Which I have no idea what I'm supposed to be writing about) then study ting xie and read my history textbook which I haven't even touched yet, and I also need to study chinese for the common test this week, and science 'cause I'm lagging behind and haven't a notion what the hell the teach is going on about acids and salts and some other damn thing.
And my grades are flops. 16/20 for Geog. 15/22 for History. ARGH. I thought History was supposed to be one of my better subjects! I am never going to be able to tell my parents this.
And I hate Chinese remedial. Not only does it take up a precious 1 hour when I could be slacking in the computer lab beating Gen at Geo Challenge, it is dead BORING. I kept looking out of the window because the girls passing were even more interesting than the powerpoint. And then she started picking on me because I was so disinterested.
And then we've got to start on the science project. The whole thing's a failure because it's all my fault, I argued my case too convincingly and convinced them to pick a totally undoable subject that involves shiny magpie stuff and parabolic surfaces.
And then there's this reader digest thing that I didn't know about. On one of the days where I was stuck at home with my bleeding toes (they've started bleeding again, by the way, and the bottom of the nail's cracking up slightly) the teach asked if anyone subscribed to reader's digest. Now I do, but I couldn't very well tell her could I? So she marked me as "NO". So now I've got a copy of readers digest and may be forced to pay thirty bucks just because I wasn't in school.
You see? I'm so bloody angry that I can't even type at my usual speed and I'm making more typos than I have ever made in my entire life. I even made a grammatical error in Today in History today. Yuck.
