B's

November 12, 2005 at 2:15 PM

Man, this past week has not been fun.
I got my grades back from my school...
One point away from an A (92) in Latin and English.
I've NEVER done poorly in English!
NEVER.
And this time I got a C on one of my assignments.
They gave me a C on my thesis statement too.
Which would've boosted my overall grade to an A.
I'm going to call a counselor about THAT today.
B's are intolerable.
I've always been a straight A student except in Latin.
That's because I don't have a Latin teacher; I do it myself.
Well, really, I do everything myself, I guess.
And I am a year ahead.
But that's no excuse.
I should be getting A's.
I must work harder.
Why am I even talking about this?
I guess I'm just really ticked is all.
Now, I have to go to my brother's soccer game.
Gr.

I know what your saying. I have had to work hard to keep my A's!

Oh please don't think A's aren everything. I was a straight A student for the first 3 years of high school, then I got 2 B's for AP Chemistry and AP English for one semester and got it back on track. I still got into a school with a large academic scholarship who also has high standards. Of course worry about your grades but don't overstress because I found that that makes them worse...eek:)
