   Meep...
Hey everybody. How ya' feelin'?

I wasn't gonna' post today, because it doesn't look like anybody's here.
But, that's why I didn't post yesterday, and I wanted to give you an update of what's going on in my life now rather then afterwards. (Plus, a lot of you visit and read posts at times way earlier then mine due to the Time-Zone difference. Meaning, many of you may get here after I'm well-asleep, so nows just as good a time as any to post).

Anyway, here's the low-down on what's going on with me:
(I tell you all this not for your sympathy, but because I have this strange delusion that you people are actually interested in hearing about the minor aches & pains of my life. So, please do enjoy...)

Yesterday (Tuesday) was a fairly crappy day for me, mostly because I brought the wrong back-pack to school for the first time since I started High school. (We have block-scheduling at my school, meaning 4 classes each day rather then 8. Since you only go to one specific class every other day, you only need to carry certain text-books on one day and all the other text-books on another day. But rather then make me swap my "A-Day" books for my "B-Day" books or vice-versa every night, my parents made it easy by buying me an extra back-pack. My "A-Day" books and folders live in one back-pack, and my "B-Day" stuff lives in the other.)
But, low and behold, my dad rushed me Tuesday morning, and I grabbed the wrong back-pack, meaning I had none of the notes I needed, none of the books I needed, and I got a "0" on the homework I needed to turn in for Civ. & Econ. and Algebra. >_< I do not need zeros in those classes!
Plus, yesterday was the one day where Mrs. Clarke (my Algebra II teacher) decided to give a grade based off of weather we had our Algebra text-books with us like we were supposed to. Damn it! I lugged that damn thing around every day, and the one day where I would have gotten credit for doing so was the one and only day I had the wrong books! XP You should have seen me when I first realized I had all the wrong stuff. I was like,
"Let me just get out my....
*unzips backpack and sees Spanish, Chemistry and English books where the Algebra and Civics ones should be*
....
....
....
.....Fuck!!!".
Heh heh, sorry. Usually I try not to cuss, but I was so pissed at my bad luck I had to express it.
Meh, at least it wasn't vice-versa, with me having A-Day stuff when it was B-Day. (Thank you, God! You're always watchin' out for me! ^_^)

Tomorrow, I go in to the Dentist's office to get my Spacers put in. -_-'
I have no idea what "Spacers" are/look like, so I don't know what to expect.
Plus, my appointment's at 9AM, meaning I gotta' leave school for my appointment. Though it's better then missing any of the alternatives, I'll most likely miss Sci. Vis. and maybe even lunch. Ah well, better those then Civics or Algebra. (See? I tol'ja God's lookin' out for me. b~_^)

Tomorrow, I also have a test in Civ. & Econ.. Since I don't have to leave class 'till 8:30 for my appointment, it probably won't interfere with my test, so no worries about that.
But still, Mr. Dickerson give the hardest tests, as you know. Meh, wish me luck, OK?

I also found out in Chemistry today that I got a 70% on my Exam the other week. -_-'
To be honest, I'm really, really disappointed. I studied hard and thought I knew the material much better then "70%". True, it was only 50 questions, but those suckers were multiple-choice and should have been easy.
I also found out I got a 2.5 (out of 4 possible points) on the essay from my English exam. It's important to note that the essay counted as half my exam-grade, thus 10% of my total semester-grade. Ya' know why? Because my examples weren't "specific" enough.
Well ya' know what!? I'm not familiar with any cases of specific people and how much property they lost in Hurricane Katrina or something!! (The essay was on "The long-term and short-term effects of natural disasters"). How am I supposed to know about specific cases of personal loss like that just to have on call in case I need to write an essay on it!?
And you know what the teacher's response to that was? "You're allowed to make stuff up".
X_x Well gee, that only goes against everything I learned about writing essays in middle-school, so thanks for not alerting us before-hand. XP
Don't get me wrong, Mrs. Macmillan’s a great teacher, she's just a tad hard to get your head around when it comes to essays.

Thanks for listening, everybody. Sorry to piss and moan, but it helps to get it off my chest. Plus, you guys might even be able to give me some advice.
I'd really appreciate some prayer right about now, so any amount would really help.
Thanks, and I'll see you tomorrow.
