I took the bus today. Like Mykella said, it's not the bus ride that's so unappealing. It's waiting for it to arrive. (I swear, we think on the same brainwave sometimes. Also, Mykella, if you see this, don't forget to email me when you sort out your hosting problem.) The feeling worsens when you know that, just a few streets down, there's a perfectly good car that you can legally drive. I felt like that this morning. I did take a chunk out of my book, though. Driving so often has taken away my transit reading time. I don't mind.
I got back the math test and quiz I made up. One was an A, and the other was a B, but I forget which was which. Math is harder for me this year than it was last year, but that's okay. I have time, and I don't have it nearly as bad as all the people in AP Calculus this year. I always used to complain about how Dr. Wheatley screwed me over my giving me Algebra II Honors instead of Algebra II Trig sophomore year. Then during registration last year, I realized it worked out beautifully. I wound up with just the right classes to allow me to take AP US History, and the next math class in the sequence, and still have a lunch. So, Dr. Wheatley, I forgive you.
I made up the first part of the statistics test in RP. It was painless. I got confused a few times, but I somehow doubt my grade is in jeopardy. At least until Chapter Three. We copied diagrams from the book for Mr. Witko. Our work in that class rarely requires actual effort, but I'm not complaining.
Mr. Adkins will have our latest tests back tomorrow. If there's one thing that man understands, it's the importance of a quick turnaround. Even our first-quarter projects were back in a week or two. I feel good about that test, even the multiple-choice. Unless Japan doesn't apply in the essay, I should be good. Comfortably in the B range.
Ms. Sim gave us more
Hamlet vocabulary today, which I didn't bother to copy. I copied the last set, didn't look at them once afterward, and still only missed two on that part of the test. I imagine we did other stuff during that class today, but it was so unsubstantial that I don't remember it.
Mom went shopping this evening, so I got stuck with the rugrats, who didn't bother to call me properly when she finally came back with dinner. It was 7:30 before anyone told me, so my stomach was starting to growl. And then
Jeopardy! had just started, so I had to wait a bit longer. I have such useless siblings, really.
UMD shows they've received all of my documents except one, which was sent with others that are listed. Penn State has mailed my decision. I have three (or possibly four) more applications to go to guidance no later than Tuesday.
I also have to start RP Chapter Three, do some more Christmas shopping, wrap (almost forgot that part), and probably do something else i'm forgetting.
Tis the season to be stressed, fa la la la la, la la la la. Bah, humbug. ::falls asleep::
