I just had a horrible, horrible dream in which I got my end-of-year report (because for some reason that was what had all my study scores and everything) and I got 37 for English and it turned out I had also done Japanese and PE and I got terrible scores for them, and I was (understandably) freaking out, and then I found out that it wasn't actually ( Read more... )
