I hav ebeen practicing a lot...and so my mother is threatening me by saying she will take away my instruments if i dont calm this down because she said it makes me too involved for a 15 year old...

I have been teaching more...some violin, cello here and there, and some piano soon as well...i guess i just work too hard for my age..but that is a good thing..

well..

crazy rehearsal schedule! BUT I LOVE IT! lol. Finally! I am getting the playing schedule I want! Talk about 2 classes of school every day..THEN rehearsals up to about 6 or 7 hours a day in school! then i go to private lessons for another hour...but then..the devil comes out, lol..HOMEWORK! EXAMS! PROJECTS! arg! and on top of that! I need to practice my stuff just by myself...(i love that last part, lol).

So...I have this whacko math teacher...SHE IS A NUT! She doesnt teach..we just sit there...so me and some of my very best friends; Karen, Julia, and Louis all sit there with A(as in sigular..well..most of the time..sometimes we get 2 or one for each of us, lol) book and we work together trying to teach ourselves because not only do we have the regents coming up but we have a new teacher next year who probably won't care that we missed an entire semester of work..which in my accerated class is probably about 3 quarters to a full years worth of work...so..she yells at us saying that we are talking and she can't teach...WHAT TEACHING?! she sits at her desk and yells at us while she has her student pet stare at the board and write the answers down while we do nothing but try to learn it...well..enough complaining on that...she sends me a letter home saying that I am disruptive, unprepared for class everyday, late everyday, failing my exams, as well as not doing my hw...so..I show my mother my exams, and my all of my checked off hw, and i showed her where my notebook is and where i keep my pens and I basically gave her every aspect of proof that my teacher was completely and totally wrong and quite frankly...I think she might have something mentally wrong with her if she is picking on me like this...oi...enough complaing about that..I am getting my parents involved, and I went to my music teacher for advice and he told me just what I should do, so I am glad for that.

Oi..I really need to stop complaining about my life, lol. My life is fine..just a few bumps in the road like that teacher...haha..I'll settle this, XD
