What a crazy day this has been. Completely. I spent most of it being stressed out. I already noted how I was not allowed to finish my social test so I talked to Mr. Bryant about it. Then my worst fear was realized and he told me to talk to Mr. Bagoki. Now, I love Mr. Bagoki, I really do, he and I share a love of the Beatles. However, I'm afraid of him. I think that everyone is. So, Emily spoke to him about our situation. He marked them both as they were and we both got 86% but he offered to go over the test with us and see if we couldn't up our mark at all. So we did, and the hours leading up to that made up most of the stress of my day. Anyway, I upped my mark by 7% and ended up with a 93% which is brilliant. Even as we were going over it he would look at some of the questions and was like "Why did I dock you there?" and fixed it.
In further Social news I wrote an essay test a few days before school ended and I did not feel good about this test at all. I was completely unimpressed with myself. I didn't even mark off in my agenda that I had written it because I was so ashamed. Anyway, I got the mark back today and have decided that our Social teachers are crazy. Ms. Jarabek marked it and she gave me 100%. She even asked if they could use it as an example on our school website. It's ridiculous! She made a specific note about what a "clear analysis" it was. As I was writing it I thought that it was going to come out like mush. I'm actually really happy. I was pretty sure that those last two tests were going to completely screw up my social mark altogether. Jesus does love me.
I've been reading Watchmen. What an intense story! It's really deep. I wasn't expecting all of this. I'm just over half way through. I'm actually getting quite excited for the movie. Hopefully I won't have to do as much thinking. Jeffery Dean Morgan is in it and he's sweet.
I really think that I need to get a job. I desperately don't want to but I need to go to University at some point. I just don't want to split my energies between school and work right now. Phil's coming to our church next week and it sounds like he has news about the whole Winnipeg thing. Bleh, I don't want to live in Winnipeg.
