I'm so glad I got my speech done and over with... But I think I failed it; I totally forgot to give my thesis and state my main points and the conclusion was a bust. Ugh... But we're done with Huck Finn, finally. We just have the test over the book and Mark Twain on Tuesday, so I need to study all fo that stuff for that. Then... I took a test in German and Chemistry this week. Got an 83% on the Chem one, which is wonderful, because this section was hard for the most part, and that also means I didn't have to take the retake test. :D Not sure what I got on the German one yet, though.
Then, even better, all of the Show Choir kids left for Florida on Wednesday... so nice! Three days without all of those preppy, garrulous, and teacher-petty kids. And a few of my classes went from thirty kids to seven real fast. We actually got our shit done in English; it was amazing. And much more hilarious.
And I had more, but I left this sit for too long. xD Oh well.
