Blah, blah, I took things the wrong way and was a bitch today .__.; (wow, more rhyming...)

We had an assembly today concerning Prom Promise which is this thing where the participants promise not to drink or do drugs or anything equally fucking moronic on prom night. It was easy for me to make this promise because I never do any of those things anyway, and to be honest I have a hard time comprehending people who would willingly climb behind the wheel of the car even though they know they've been drinking (though, it shouldn't be, since it impairs your judgment and all...but still)...anyway.. I'm a pretty emotional sort, and I was crying a little at the end, both for the mother who spoke about her and (this is going to sound dorky, but it's true -_-) out of worry for my brother. My brother is attending the prom tomorrow and the people who are driving are horrible drivers even when sober. Most people might think it's crazy to worry about him, but you know...that boy whose mother spoke, he and his two friends went to this school. All three of them were killed, while riding their bikes, by some complete and utter asshole who was driving drunk. The description of the scene she gave us was horrible, and while we were riding home, Bryan made a very insensitive remark, saying the scene was not awful but offal. ><

But I was very bitchy too, and I realized my bitchiness after I'd spoken it, but the person to whom I was bitchy does not accept apologies so it was useless anyway. But I still feel bad, because the person is my friend, and one of my best friends, even though I get ragingly angry at her on average of once or twice a day.

I was also very stupid today: I had forgotten that we were supposed to bring in a photo and some information on a famous non-conformist for English, a very EASY assignment, and thus got myself a bloody 0/25. ::bangs head on wall repeatedly:: My friend Emiko also forgot this, so at least I had company in my misery, but jeeez. x__x I HATE making zeroes, no matter how many points it's out of. Especially zeroes that could have easily been avoided if I weren't so damn lame. On the bright side I scored a 94 on the essay portion of our test (don't know about the bubble in bit yet), which was very vindicating for me. :3

Also on the bright side of today: the prom promise thing got me out of History, so I didn't have to take my test or turn in my (unfinished .__.;) Section Reviews, I figured out why my calculator kept giving me the wrong answers and thusly why I failed the last quiz (I've already moaned and angsted to myself about that, now I must make certain it NEVER EVER HAPPENS AGAIN), and my Chemistry teacher gave us PIZZA during class (Papa John's. Roxxor).

However I float in uncertainty about this whole final grading period, especially since my last markings were so sexy that now my parents expectations have fluttered unfortunately upwards. >P The lowest grade I scored was a 93 (in Algebra II..god damn that class) and I also scored a 98 in Chemistry (a miracle of God, I assure you)--the rest was like 97, 100, 101 (I only have five classes because my sixth period is a study hall). I usually make these sorts of grades in all my classes but Algebra II and Chemistry, in which I (if I'm lucky) make high end B's, or (if I'm not lucky) low end B's. Once I was terribly unlucky and scored an 85 in Chemistry *__* (which by some people's scales is a B, but it's a C by ours).

Some of you who have this magical alternative scale may be wondering what ours is, so let me tell you how it goes.
94-100 = A
86-93 = B
77-85 = C
76-70 = D
69-0 = F

If my school was (or were? x__x was and were is the only grammatical construction I have Issues with...) equipped with a grading system like 90-100 = A and so on, I would make straight A's much more often. As it stands, I hardly EVER do. .__.
