Thinking.

I know that you're all still scratching your heads, trying to figure out my whole LiveJournal mess, so figured I would just put it all behind me as fast as possible and resume writing actual Journal entries. Here goes.

I'm doing pretty well in school right now, or at least I'd like to think so. Until today, (actually yesterday) my mind was set in the false assumption that seeing as how I've turned in all of my work (almost) I would have a good average in all of my classes. I wasn't exactly wrong, but things could be better. My first period class is a joke of a computer course, so I'm just skating in there; I estimate that I've got close to a perfect average. My second period is Honors Physical Science-they should just call that damn class "A bunch of math bullshit you're never going to use...ever". Seriously, they should take that entire phrase and print it on everyone who takes that course's schedule, because it describes the class to a tee; I have exactly a 70 in there. Third period is Latin II, a class that I moderately enjoy. Back in my Latin I days I grew to be a damn master translator; I could practically just pick up and read Latin. I can't now, though, I grew horribly rusty over the course of a semester and summer, so now it’s almost like learning all over again. I'm confident I have a really good overall grade in Latin II, but I don't know the exact number. I've got a 74 in Honors English III, mostly my own fault, now that I think about it. I took a vocabulary test in there today and totally bombed; not because I didn't know the meanings of the words, but because I didn't know the words themselves. You can say any of the words on the list aloud and I could tell you what it means, but if you give me a bunch of definitions and expect me to cull the week's vocab from the sea of words my writing-oriented mind produces to match them, I'm afraid I'm in very deep trouble. I ended up with a 55 on that quiz, not good. I thought crosswords would be easy as hell; and they are, so long as I remember the words. I'll have to make it a point to remember them for the next cross-word test we do in two weeks; I'll also have to remember their spellings, as that also throws me sometimes.

I was really tired at school today around the end of second period, I don't know why. I wasn't tired anymore by the time I reached the lunchroom; it just sort of went away. Oh well, it doesn't matter now. Peace.
