School Pains Again

I am now in Grade 11, which is "a vital year in my life" (as my Dad would probably say). All of my marks which I will be receiving this year will be sent to the universities that I apply to. Last year I received Honors, and i thought that Gr.11 would be just as easy as Gr.10. Wow, I was really wrong. Not only did i get myself in the wrong mentallity, which made the first month a write off, but i also chose the hardest courses possible. My day starts off with a the highest level of Grade 11 math offered at my school, than Physics U, than English U, and to finish it off i have Chemistry U. Now isnt that just a great day? Not to mention i get homework in pretty much all the classes, so im doing school the whole day.

Now to top of this day of boringness, i have a below average Math teacher (I'm not going to say any names. As they like to say: "you know who you are"). Now shes a good person and what she teaches us in class i grasp. I do the homework, teach myself the concepts which should have been taught in class, and im off to some other hw from a different class. About once every 2 weeks we have Unit test, where about 1/2 of it is what she has taught us and the other half is what she hasn't. I think this is pretty stupid way to test the students. Wouldn't it be better to test students on what they have learnt from the unit?

But to make this even funnier, is the fact that when we get the results back from the test she will say "Its gotta be because we are not doing our homework".

This teacher just aggravates me completly. I can't stand the fact that I feel so comforable about my situation going into the test, and leaving it i feel like I missed out a whole unit. But the thing is that im not the only person who thinks this way.

I feel like screaming... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Hmmm, that actually felt better. You know, im sure some Ice Cream and a Hug would do the same thing...Later Days!!

mmm... vacation

A couple days ago my dad booked a vacation to cancun.... mmm vacation. Just thinking about it makes me all giddy. Yes i said giddy. So when you will be sitting at home, listening to your parents, nagging you to shovel the driveway, i gonna be sitting in the warm relaxing sun wondering if i should go swimming in the ocean, go get some more delicious mouth watering food from the buffet, or just lie down here on the warm, but not too warm, sand. Mmmmmmmmmm. But its not like im trying to rub it in or anything...

Wanna see the resort? Its one of the best ones availible, with its 6 star rating (and im not joking, its actually 6 stars...).

Mmmmmmmm....
