I failed the writing part of the seventh grade proficiency test three years ago because my story went above and beyond what they required... V_V It had something about carnivorous arctic koalas in it but that's all I can remember. I know how it feels to get a story shot down because of someone's personal preference. Rumor has it that the proficiency tests are graded by hobos...
I must admit when I get a bad grade it makes me hate myself...I have incredibly high standards for myself and if I get anything under 100 I get pretty disgusted because it signifies that I must have slacked off in some way...it's because I'm worried about getting into college, I suppose. I have little to no chance of getting in because I just don't have the cash to pay for it, and my grades fall just below perfect...I usually get like a 3.97 on my report cards...I've only ever achieved 4.0 once in high school.
As for my day, luckily it was uneventful. We were forced to listen to a lecture done by some people who were trying to convince us to go to a vocational school for eleventh and twelfth grade...I sure won't go, there'd be no way to keep myself academically challenged there...it's for people who want to become farmers, mechanics, carpenters, etc. and I plan to be a writer. The problem is, some of my friends will likely go there, and some of my friends are going to post-secondary, which is basically going to college instead of high school for 11th and 12th grade, meaning I won't ever see them again. I'm going to be left basically friendless after this year...they're still making us take a tour of the place, which should prove long and boring...I'm scheduled to be given seminars on visuial and digital arts that day at the vocational school. Maybe I can either just not go or skip that day. So here's today's good news/bad news...
Good News: I found out I was 6/96 in my grade GPA-wise
Bad News: 6th place is 5th loser...there can only be one valedictorian.
