Geez, I just love this icon! <3 So cute.
So this is the last weekend I will ever have as a sophomore. After this week, I'll be a junior! Tomorrow is the rest of our nine weeks exams (I have Math, English, and Chem) and Tuesday we find out if we have to come to school for the rest of the week. Our school has a weird system of absences and grades, and what you have of each determines whether you take your semester/final exams. If you have 3 absences and an A in the class, you can skip that class's exam. 2 absences and a B, 1 absence and a C, but anything lower than a C or higher than 3 absences and you gotta take the exam unless your teacher loves you and exempts you from it (like my English teacher did last time, I had an A in the class and....5 absences? She said that it didn't matter if I took it, since I'd get an A and nothing would happen to my grade. Woo!).
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are half days, two exams each. I WOULD have to take them all, but because of the swine flu scare and stuff, all absences taken after the 4th of May don't count towards exams. Sooo that means that all the absences I had recently because of me being sick don't count! Which means I might be able to skip a few of them. I'd get to skip AP anyway, because you get exempt if you took the big AP exam. :D I'll end up taking Math and Chem, though, probably Spanish and Humanities, too. I guess we'll see!
I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman right now! Man, his stories are messed up. I really like it, though! All the mythology references make me smile. :D Once I finish that, I have to read the last book in a trilogy (Night Angel series, anyone heard of it? It's good!), and then I'm gonna re-read the Harry Potter books before the movie comes out. And THEN I'm FINALLY gonna read the latest Artemis Fowl book, which has been on my shelf for about 3 months. I haven't been able to read it because I've been reading other things.
I'm gonna go watch Spiderman now. Later!
