Good Evening, Gentle Reader. it is, in fact, night time, but to bid you Goodnight might sound as though i am bidding you Goodbye when i have just begun.
all i've done today was read bits of Join Me by Danny Wallace aloud and timing myself in preparation for Speech tomorrow. i may be falling in love with Danny, and would very much like to Join Him, but my mum stole the book (my present) and read it super fast and she wants to too. now, that just isn't cool, is it? it's like taking your oldish, yet hip aunt to see Aqualung. (she went on the website yesterday, likes the music and is threatening me about joining the message board to talk about her Darling Niece...)
so. i am incredibly scared about a thirty-minute Free Respsonse Essay i have to do tomorrow in APUSH. i know nothing about the Gilded Age. maybe a tiny bit, but nothing to persuade the reader of my essay that i'm a bona-fide scholar. how am i going get in Harvard now? eh? ehhhhhhh?
very worryingly, i do not understand Pre-Cal. at all. we seem to have moved away from the safe and familiar territory of Vectors, onto the mine-filled, foreign lands of... god, i don't even know what they're called. two coordinates: R comma pheta. R being the radius and pheta the angle, of course. and something to do with polar coordinates and rectangular ones. i will actually have to Work in advisory tomorrow and my friends will have to Explain Things to my Empty Brain.
oh, and i have a Science Olympiad meeting, where i'll be affirming that, "yes, i will be competing on Saturday" because i haven't the courage to say, "no, i have done fuck all for Astronomy, Remote Sensing and i don't know the first thing about Thermal Dynamics except for convection, conduction and radiation. in fact, Physics 1 knows more than me," to my physics teacher, whom i have to see every bloody day until the summer holidays (and even after that because i need him to write recommendations to get me into Harvard).
academic year ends on the 25th of May. shit. AP exams in the beginning of May. did you know that those marks stain your reputation For Ever? you have to pay them to cancel your score within 48 hours of taking the test (befroe you find otu that you have, in fact, FAILED). it doesn't sound as though i'll get in university at all...
<< Doomed! >>
