I Feel the Sky Tumbelling Down Wow - so much to say today. First of all, midterms are finally reaching their end. I only have one left to write. I didn't do exceptionally well on any of them. I already vented all of my frustrations about my language arts midterm in my previous entry - hahaha, the funny part about that now is that that mark is my highest midterm mark so far. I got an 84% on my science midterm, which was a lot lower than I was hoping for but it really isn't that bad. Math, on the other hand, was worse than I had anticipated. I think that the grade that I got on my math midterm was the lowest mark I have ever gotten on an exam in my entire life, ever. Yeah, it was that bad. (although, again, I realize that it's terrible by my standards but by someone else's standards it would be pretty good. But my standards aren't someone elses'. They're mine. And for me it's nowhere near good enough.) I don't get it - I do well on the modules and I try to make sure I understand everything, and then I go to write the test and I completely freeze. My mind wanders and I think too much and too fast and I can't focus. I'm trying not to dwell on my horrendous grade, but I definetly think I need some major help in the math department. In other news, I'm thinking about entering this writing contest in memory of Martyn Godfrey that my language arts teacher told me about. It'll be fun - I'm supposed to write something funny, which is so totally unlike anything I ever write - I'm usually so serious. I have a few ideas and I started to write some stuff today and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I really want to enter it, just for the heck of it. I don't really care if I win anything or not (although if I was to win, I would win money which would be absolutely awesome), but it's fun to experiment with writing different kinds of things. Speaking of experimenting, remember how I mentiond before that I wanted to submit a poem to a magazine but needed to talk to my english teacher first? I still haven't done it. I don't know why I keep putting it off but I am. Eeeech - I need to do it sometime. I really want to do this. But maybe I can wait awhile longer - after this Martyn Godfrey thing, at least. Dancing is going really well. Did I ever mention my doing a trio with two other girls that I dance with? If not, I'm mentioning it now. I am, and we just started it on Thursday. It's a lot of fun - I'm really enjoying myself :) Today was super productive. I did absolutely nothing yesterday (literally. I watched tv the entire day.It was great and gross at the same time), and so today I really wanted to get stuff done. And I did - I got up relatively early and did homework and laundry and dishes and I walked uptown to rent a dvd ( "Thirteen" It's supposed to be really good. It was written by someone my age, which is really cool) and did pilates. I think I'm starting to see some abs peeking out of my tummy now...hehehe. It was so cool - when I first started doing pilates I was sort of discouraged because the exercises were pretty hard and I wasn't sure if I was doing them properly, but now they're getting easier and easier and I'm seeing results from it and I'm very pround of myself for sticking with it. In a few weeks, I'm going to get a new perscription for my glasses, and I think I'm also going to cut my hair. Yeep - I'm excited, but kind of nervous about my hair. I want a change but I don't want to cut off too much. And I want bangs - I've had them before and they acctually looked pretty good. I went to cut my hair once, I think about grade seven, and the hairdresser was begging me to let her give me bangs because she thought they would be sooo cute. (*rolls eyes* Lordy.) I didn't let her, though. Hehe. But now I kind of want them. I'm talking about my hair again. Somebody get the hook. Crap this entry is long. I'm going go to now - Star Search is on in half an hour, and then I'm going to watch Thirteen. Hailey spazzed at 8:31:00 p.m. ***
