Agh! My Parents Are Going To KILL Me!

Hi All,
I realize it's been forever. Between the absolute lack of interesting stuff to talk about and the completely insane homework load at the high school, I've not had the time, or the need, to come onto here and share my thoughts. If anyone's even keeping track of what's being posted here anymore, anyway. I can't say I blame you. I would have long given up on myself. Wait, I have...

Anyway, high school is ridiculous. Especially math right now. I think I was expecting too much out of myself to sign up for Calc BC. This is becoming insane. I mean, I just seriously bombed a math test. It was far beyond Asian fail. How's 19/30? That's a D, for anyone who's actually interested. Very near a 60%. Ick. However, because majority of the class - certain other genius freshmen excluded (you can make your own assumptions here) - didn't do the best either, given that we had an unexpected fire drill and whatnot, Mrs. Carpenter agreed to curve the test, lowering it by 3 points. Now, I'm at a C-. It's better, but not much. This'll definitely bring my final grade down to points where I'm probably not going to finish this quarter with an A. Epic Asian fail. I'm dead.

However, after spending a while surfing the Internet, namely www.fanfiction.net, I feel much better. I may be an utter dork, finding that reading random stories about Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, Star Trek, etc. make me feel much more relaxed, but nevertheless, it does and I intend to take full advantage of it. And yes, if anyone was wondering, I have been able to become obsessed with Star Trek, which was evident from my souvenir from New York for choir. Rather than getting anything actually related to said city, I got a Star Trek magnet which is stuck to my locker as I speak - er, type. Speaking of which, the trip was really fun. However, I do wish we got more time to just explore on our own. Most of what we did was all in a large group, like a tour or something. Then again, they probably wouldn't trust 50 high-schoolers to make it safely around New York City.

Well, I have fully seen how random I can be whilst typing away at anything and everything that comes to mind. For instance, I just remembered about Teacher Recommendations and how I still haven't figured out whether I want to do the science research thing or not. Alas, I cannot decide. I suppose I better discuss this more with my parents, once my mom gets home from Utah.

Oddly, writing this has calmed me down from my complete freak-out mood from earlier, which I had been on the brink of ever since I found out my math test grade. Since Mrs. Carpenter weights the tests out of 100 points, it has a large impact on my grade and I'm just concerned about what has happened to it. Now though, I feel quite a bit better, though I'm no doubt going to get chewed out by my parents about it. *sigh*

Thanks for reading! Live long and prosper.
