Yesterday in LA we had a test on the Scarlet Letter. I think I did badly. I wrote far too personally in the essay, which probably counted a lot. There were two questions to choose from, and the first one was pretty weird and I didn't agree with it at all. The second I really felt personally connected to, so I wrote about that. I had such personal ( Read more... )

I do the thing that you mentioned at the endof the entry as well a lot of the time. i find it rater interesting. i know what expression should be on my face.and i'll get a feeling that it sould be there. but.. it's not. strange sometimes.

I don't know. . . I get the feeling that I completely misidentified some of them. Ah well. *hug* I'm actually not that worried about how I did on it. I am confident in my intellectual abilities. That attitude could lead me to be careless and get bad grades out of stupid mistakes. I always have to be careful, but I know I couldn't have done better on the essay. I was just too affected.

I actually like having questions that I connect personally with, even though it usually gets you a bad grade, you can write something that you're ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN. I can be very mathematical about my schoolwork at times, I'm often thinking, "ahh, screw it, this doesn't matter, it's only worth 5 points" and so forth. It's a bad attitude to have about school, but then again, I often do care about the things we learn--well, in some subjects. I like LA just because I like the books we read and the discussions Mr. Keith lets us have (we must have spent 2 or 3 entire periods already juts talking, mostly about the presidential debate, but we also went onto other tangents like the passion of the christ). And I like math, not really the class itself because ti's slow, but I like what we learn. Although I'd GREATLY prefer being in geometry again (I wish there was a geometry II or better yet, a logic I. alas, there isn't. in college, in college.) chemistry is absolutely terrible, mostly at the fault of the teacher (she's just SO terrible, ( ... )
