alison's scheme to avoid studying....
i obviously have the attention span of a 2-year old.
so i had my math and lit. exams monday and i thought those actually both went really well. so, i went into michelli's room this morning to see what i got on my lit. exam. at first she mumbled 93... so i was happy but then she told me that was the number of points, not my grade. (strike one) then she said 87... in a very "final" voice.
so then i go into my spanish exam feeling very self-concious because i had thought that i did awesome (maybe not awesome but well) on my lit. exam that seemed easier than the tests we have taken. then i doubt whether i had actually done well on my math exam considering that i had thought the lit. exam was easy and yet i got a B on it. (and then i was thinking a B.... couldn't even be a B+ or anything.)
in other words, i double-checked my spanish work a thousand times and almost fainted when i didn't remember one little thing....
then i get to thinking. could michelli have meant i got an 87 OUT OF 93?!? feeling completely torn, i sprinted (not really) to her room after school and cut everybody in line. yeah so it was an 87/93. i had checked that on my calculator in spanish and so horrah! alison got a 94 in lit.!
i think that took about 4 years off my life.
tomorrow all i have is hebrew scriptures and that's pretty easy. i just have to run over some of the prophets and random people whose reading i skipped. and practice the apostles' creed and the over-long definition of "tradition." then all i have to do is finish it off w/ history/physical science on thursday. i'm not too worried.
volleyball is going fairly well. nothing too much to report. i just need to practice my setting a bit because i am the back-up setter !! (more or less. it's not "official." no documents were signed.) as much as i hate to admit it, i have grown fond of my back middle spot (as much as i groused about it before) and i don't want to leave it!! i apparently have mixed feelings about this. i just don't want back middle to feel angry or betrayed and think that i left it. i still have feelings for you i swear!
also had our 3rd soccer game last night. and we actually won!! (thank you zach weinberg...) it was exciting. i had a more or less nonproductive/terrible game but gooo team!
that being my entire life put into a page, i'm going to go look up hosea, naaman, zephaniah, and septuagint.
