What. A. Week.
This week has been one of it's very own... probably the most stressful one I've had in a long while.
I was asked to work every day this week other than my already scheduled tuesday and wednesday shifts. Going to school and working afterwards pretty much almost killed me. My homework reached the ceiling by thursday, and I called in and said I couldn't make it because I had too much that had to get done. Thank god they didn't get upset with me. I spent all of yesterday night catching up on all my recent math work, and am (at the moment) procrastinating from starting my compound interest homework that luckily isn't due til Monday due to Monday when I finally write the quiz that has been put off for about two/three week.
I have never done so much school work in my entire LIFE. Well, of course since I put off the university level science ISU that was 11 pages, 30 qs front and back and worked on it 5 hours every night for the five days before it was due. Science was, and always will be, a bitch.
Going from complete slacker, to over-achiever in a week is impossible... but I somehow managed to get pretty far in that transformation. I had four (COUNT'EM) tests today. My music playing test went extremely well, except my nerves got the best of me and I fucked up one bar's rhythm. Thank God Mr Hill understood, and he commented "Wow, amazing sound. Very great work.". This was coming from someone who said it would take me a lot of work to make up for the year of music I skipped. My math test I definately aced. It was on exponential functions, and wasn't half as hard as I expected it to be. Some of the homework was more difficult itself than the actual test, which must've mislead me. My anthropology test... I punched it so hard in the fucking teeth that it begged for mercy. The ONLY question I didn't do well on was worth 8 marks. It was on "Conditional Learning", but I had my field trip on Tuesday, didn't get the note, borrowed it Wednesday, worked that night, and didn't get a chance to copy it (work is a pimp and I'm it's whore). I probably could have copied it, even though it was 4 pages long, but I totally forgot. Oh well, at least I did pretty good (in my opinion) on the rest of that test. Lastly, my world religions test. That was the biggest bitch EVER. I think I did alright... anywhere from 50 to high 60 percent which is not nearly as good as I would hope. Apparently we were supposed to have found three reasons why Gandhi represented the perfect embodiment of a Hindu PRIOR to the test. Being sick all the time that particular information was mentioned, I ended up writing a 5 paragraph essay made of complete bullshit, but done nice enough to pass that section of the test. Note to self: never miss school because your tired, it'll fuck you in the ass and make you MORE tired in the end.
Plans for this weekend:
* Finish compound interest homework and be completely prepared for the test
* Find sources for my Jehovah's Witness essay for World Religions class
* Find 8 sources for my Dysfunctial Family essay for Anthropology, narrow it down to 4 sources, completely look over and make jot notes of those 4 sources, and complete the entry paragraph.
Special thanks today to Matt for helping me with the formation of a HISTORY essay. (Mr. Harley stated that it was completely different from an english essay, but didn't care to elaborate further) Matt, you rule, and are a fucking AMAZING teacher. Let me be in your grade 5 class?
I'm gonna continue my quest to make it through highschool and get accepted into University to become a history/anthropology/english teacher. I'll keep you all updated.
Determined,
Kara
P.S. Math: TAKE IT UP THE TAILPIPE, BITCH.
