AT LAST SPRING BREAK IS HERE!!!! It's been a long three months since Christmas break, and I thought spring break would never come... February and March always move like sludge, but April and May pick up the pace, and then it's summer, glorious, too-short summer!
I drive to Salt Lake City tomorrow and fly to Florida on Sunday, Easter. My parents have been menacingly mentioning that we might all have to switch off driving, but I hate long-distance driving and I get tired really quickly, and it's especially hard when everyone else in the car is asleep, so I think that I will conveniently "accidentally" forget my driver's license tomorrow. Hopefully this is not a sin that requires repenting.
My digital camera, after all this drama, after my parents getting really mad at me for losing it, after me getting really mad at myself for not even remembering where I lost it, after me getting really worried about coming up with the money to replace, after all this drama for months and months, has turned up in my mother's closet. Nobody can remember how it got there. I was too relieved to be very upset about all these months of anger for nothing.
My father brought home PTC paper today, and I couldn't taste it. Neither could either of my parents. I really wanted to be able to taste it, and it's really odd to think that something that tastes just like paper to me could taste incredibly bitter to someone else. Apparently about 7 out of 10 people can taste the bitterness. I'm out of the loop. We couldn't remember if it was dominant or recessive, but we're pretty sure being able to taste it is dominant, which means both my parents and me are homozygous recessive. Sad.
Speaking of biology and such, I think I got over a 100% on my math test yesterday, like 109%-ish. I'm really excited, but the rest of the class apparently is pretty sure they did very badly on it, and is likely to murder me for ruining the curve (again). I don't feel very welcome in my math class. They spent the whole period today yet again trying to convince Mr. George that Nick and I were outliers and should not be figured into the curve. Ah well, whatever. Pretty soon the year will be over.
And it's spring break and my third quarter grades (straight A's) are solidified. Unless I got less than 50% on my biology test today on genetics, but I've gotten an A on every test all year so I don't see how that's possible. I felt pretty confident in it today. But even if I did get a B, I don't really care because I have a good grade in there.
3rd QUARTER GRADES:
1. Calculus- probably about a 97%
2. Gym- 100% (we finally finished my last dancing unit ever today, I was so excited!)
3. English- 101% (Even after the not so good Fahrenheit 451 quiz... I really liked the book, but the quiz was really detailed)
4. Orchestra- A, don't know the percent
5. Biology- 107% (before the test, that probably won't change much if I got an A on the test)
6. Orchestra- A
7. Music theory- 99%-ish.
So I'm doing pretty good. I actually think I might make it, through high school with a 4.0. Valedictorian is a good thing to have on college applications.
So I'm not going to think about school at all this next week. I probably should, because I have a huge semester project for biology I need to think about and a nationalism report and composition due in a few weeks for music theory, but I'm not going to. This is my week to be lazy, this is my preview of summer, and it does NOT involve school or any thoughts about school. I want this week to go really slowly. It probably won't, it'll probably last forever, but that's what I want... slowly, savored.
