Well my Long Term Independent Projects are finally over. I got my grade back and it's a 4.3 out of 5 so A-. All well. At least one of my humanities papers got a 5 out of 5. I also got a 45.5 out of 50 on my latest math test which is the best test grade I've ever gotten in math. You can tell I'm not very good at it, huh. We're starting logarithms this week. Fun and easy, yay!. On the down side, however, I have a bad cold which is probably going to last through spring break. Last day tomorrow. *huge sigh of relief*

Mid-terms are finally over. I was so tired this week from staying up really late studying that on Friday night, I went to bed and promptly burst into tears and started shaking uncontrollably. Anyway, the next day I had my mom call school to ask if I could take my history exam during second period instead of first (for my drama exam during second period we were going to watch Pirates of the Caribbean so I felt that it wouldn't lower my grade if I didn't go). That's what I like about my school. They let you get away with things like that. After I finished my history test I went to the drama room and found the spanish class and a few drama kids jumping rope (it's just a thing my school does). Apparently some people in the office found out that we were watching Pirates and kicked all the kids that were under thirteen out of the room. They apparently also didn't let them call home for permission. I stayed out with them and played cards and talked for a while but I ended up watching a few of my favorite parts. I have to go rehearse for another play I'm in now.

I'm really, really glad christmas is over. I hate all the last minute shopping (and then of course everyone is staying up late to make/wrap presents so they get grumpy and start getting mad at me). I'm going to stay at a hotel with my mom and sister and, possibly, we're going on a shopping spree of sorts. Going shopping tends to overwhelm me so I hope I don't have a nervous breakdown or something.

Instead, if you're bad, he comes to your house and steals things.I told Riley that, if he didn't behave himself, Santa was going to take away his T.V. and all his electrical appliances and leave him in the dark. All your appliances. Including your refrigerator. You're food is going to spoil and smell bad. It is going to be so cold and dark where you are. Man, Riley, are you ever going to suffer. You're going to wish you never heard the name Santa.

I haven't been writing regularly because this week and the last have been hell week. The weeks before a play and a huge paper. Luckily my humanities teacher found out about the play and gave everyone who's in it an extension *sigh of relief*. We pretty much buried her in hugs. She's cool(well of course. She's an english teacher).

I hate it when I walk into a class and remember just then what the homework I didn't do was. That happened to me in french class today but luckily I was early and finished just as the teacher arrived. The french teacher's really nice but she's a hard grader. We went to see a play which one of our students was in called The Adventures of Don Quixotes." A bit boring but the actors were good.

I go to school in a small private school (not christian). The reason I mention this is because it's not like normal schools so what I write might seem weird. For example, today in drama class half of the people were gone on a dance field trip so we rehearsed the play we're doing by assigning the parts of the two leading females to two boys with small parts. On top of that the teacher made them wear skirts. We got really insane so we called a break and pig-piled on the couch.

There was a movie night at my friends house and we watched the original Phsyco and then walked the dogs at 10:00. Bad idea with seven young teenagers with an excess of adrenaline.

Quote of the week:
"I gave my mother a matching set [of mugs] for christmas and she accepted them as gratiously as possible announcing that they would make the perfect pet bowls. The mugs were set on the kitchen floor and remained there until the cat chipped a tooth and went on a hunger strike."
