I hate my high school. It screwed me out of a scholarship, and now screwing me out of graduation. there is this system at my school, and my school only, where if you miss more than 10 days of school, you have to take a competency test, for each class, and if you get less than a C on it you automatically fail the class. Well, I was informed that if you have 10 unexcused absences you are okay, and the excused absences don't count against your 10 days. Well, knowing this I had 10 unexcused absences and 2 excused, by my doctor.
They never sent me a letter, put me on a list (like they did everyone else), or let me know that I had to take the competency test, which was today. I had a bad feeling they were going to screw up so my last period of the day I finally got a hold of the vice principal and asked him if I definitely didn't have to take the competency test, and he looked it up and said that I did. I WAS NEVER TOLD, I even went to the office 3 times and have asked if they are sure I didn't have to take it. They said no, all....3....times. All of the sudden I have to take the tests, and he was telling me that this whole thing was my fault, I shouldn't have waited for the last minutes and just totally disrespecting me as a student. I almost blew up, but I kept my cool. I wouldn't mind taking the tests if I knew i could pass them, but I know that for a couple of my classes I would fail because I had a hard time with those classes all year. If I fail any of the tests, I don't graduate. This is ridiculous. My second to last day of school, and i have to deal with this bullshit.
I hate high school, I just want to get the fuck out and they won't let me, because I had a throat infection and the doctor told me I couldn't go to school for 2 days. I cant graduate because of that. I'm so upset, this school has given me shit from the start. Starting with the people, the fucking black people that think everyone is racist, the fucking attitude of every person there, the teachers not really teaching anything important, the administrators that don't do anything about the rude and cruel CHILDREN, the counselors can't even tell me what credits I needed to take over the summer so that I could get my scholarship (which I still fucking resent them for), and now for trying to prevent my graduation because of 2 days of school I missed.
I don't understand why this is such a big deal. Seniors are getting out of school 2 WEEKS EARLIER THAN ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS. And they are bitching about 2 days? Does that make sense to anyone? I feel like such a failure, though it isn't my fault, I feel like I wasted my whole senior year. I made excellent grades, showed so much respect to the teachers, and I came to school most of the time, but apparently not enough.

I just want to kill everyone in Florida right now.
I can't wait to come back in 2 weeks.
