Grade Frustration -- Part 2

OKAY OBAMA I SEE YOU WITH THAT KENNEDY SHIRT!!! That's what's up.

So everything has been cleared up. I guess my grades were okay enough for me to play golf still, and my coach just made me not play so I had the chance to figure everything out before my grades did get that bad. I still am upset with my teacher though, and I'm pretty sure we'll never get along.

Okay so get this. Yesterday we had to take a school-wide survey about our school in general, and the teachers and staff. We were told to only base our opinions off of what happened this year, so that means we get to rate the teachers we have right now. Let me just say that teacher didn't get such a good grade. I talked to my friends and other people that have him, and it turns out I wasn't the only one that gave him a good rating. But oh well, I think he needs to learn to respect students because I didn't even do anything to him. Yeah so what I have a somewhat bad grade in his class, that doesn't mean he has to be rude does it? I don't think so.

Oh well, it'll all be over soon when I graduate. Which isn't that far away! I think we only have about 15 days of school left, or something around there. Hopefully it all works out!! [<3]

Song of the Day - Sugar

I love this new song! I've been hearing this song over the radio over the past couple weeks and I love it! I had already downloaded it onto my Zune before it hit the radio, and liked it then, but now it's just awesome. I didn't realize it was a Flo Rida song until he started rapping, and I was actually surprised. When my friends heard it first in my car, they started singing Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65. I'm pretty sure they fell in love with it just like I did. I hope you all enjoy!! [<3]

Song of the Day -- Do The Stanky Leg

OKAY! Hahah. This song's pretty tighhttt..! I heard this song for the first time at Iowa State, when my friend Kate and I were at Greek Week. We were at a block party at one of the frat houses, and were dancing. Okay don't worry, there was no illegal activity taking place whatsoever! But anyways, the song is perfect for dances and just goofing around, and it's got a really catchy beat. I'm pretty sure there's a specific dance that goes with this, but to find it you may have to YouTube it. Enjoy!! [<3]

Grade Frustration

So there's a policy at our school that you have to maintain good grades to play in a sport. You are not allowed to have an F in any class, and if you do, you cannot play. I could go into more details, but you get the picture. We're almost into the middle of the golf season now, and one of my grades is starting to slip. And it's my physics grade. Physics is my hardest class, and let's just say I have my opinion of the teacher, but I'm not going to say more than that.

I have to get my grade up ASAP, and I'm having a little trouble. I'm taking 90% of the blame on this one. I did turn in some things late, and I didn't have my priorities straight. I put off a couple homework assignments, thinking that I would do them later and it really wouldn't really make a difference. Yeah that's probably the worst thinking I could have, and it's a terrible attitude to have about my school work. I know now that isn't going to fly here in high school, and it definitely is not going to fly in college. Now is the time that I need to kick it into gear, and know I will get no where if I don't.

The other 10% is not exactly my fault. Last week we had a quiz in physics. I took the quiz with the rest of the class, on time, and turned it in like every one else. Our teacher told us the next day that he worded some questions weirdly on the back page of the quiz, and we were going to retake that half of the quiz the next day. So I retook the quiz, once again, with everyone else. Midterms were last week, and my physics grade came out at the beginning of this week. I had a 59% in the class. I am barely failing. So I look at my missing assignments and I'm missing a quiz. I'm assuming it is the quiz that I took, and retook. I'm really starting to get mad, because I took that quiz at the same time as everyone else. Did my teacher lose my quiz? I hope not.

I stayed after yesterday to try to get this all figured out. My teacher says that he hasn't even graded the quizzes, which I don't understand because he put them in the gradebook. Anyways, I hope this all gets figured out real soon because I'm tired of all of this drama, I just want to play some golf and graduate.

Today will be the day that I talk to my coach. According to my physics teacher, she is going to "beat me" today. We'll see how it goes. I already vented to my parents, for the most part, so hopefully I can talk to my coach without getting all worked up, and start bashing on my physics teacher. This whole situation really makes me mad. I'm mostly mad at myself for letting things get this far. Hopefully it'll all work out today, and soon I'll be back on the golf course with the rest of my team! [<3]

E Trade Commercial

This is one of the funniest commercials I've seen. I love almost all of the E Trade baby commercials, just because they are so unique. This one I embedded is supposedly outtakes from other commercials, but it's still hilarious. Some people think they are stupid but I can't help but laugh! [<3]

And It All Comes Together...

Prom is coming up soon. The date is May 16th, and I'm not really sure if I'm ready so far. I guess you could say I still have a lot of time, but it feels like to clock is ticking fast and I'm running out of time. There's so much to plan and figure out, so many appointments to set up, and so many things to pay for.

Our prom group was our first hassle to get over. At first we had everyone set, and there were about 18 or 20 people in our group. Then over time more couples wanted to join our group, because I guess we're just that popular. Kidding. Anyways, I think our group is at the maximum capacity for the Hummer limo we're renting, and I can't remember if that is 22 or 24. The maximum capacity for a table at dinner is 20, so one or two couples are shit outta luck. The next hassle was figuring out a limo. At first, everyone was all for riding in a limo. But then a few couples were backing out because of the price. To attempt to make a long story short, everyone is taking the limo now. We all have to pay $23 or so, just for an hour of riding in luxury. I think its worth it!

So I'm just glad I have a date! I'm going with Shea, a guy I work with and went to middle school with. I was really afraid I wasn't going to be asked, but now I am! Well technically he's not my date because he hasn't asked me yet. He hasn't asked me yet because he refuses to ask me in a normal way. He told me it has to be cute, because it's my senior prom. He also told me he refuses to let me pay for anything! As great as that may sound, he's coming to my prom and I don't expect him to pay for everything! I'm hoping I can find a way around that... Oh I was also afraid he might want me to come to his prom, but he told me that we're going to ours because he's been to his prom 2 times already. Soo I'm pretty happy :)

I'm hoping all goes well, and all this drama pans out. I want this day to be one of the best of my life, and the most memorable as well. I'm going to be spending a whole day, or more, with my best friends, and a new potential guy :) Yeah I guess I just ruined it, Shea is "Jason". Oh well! I'll probably blog about it more later, but thats all for now! [<3]

Song of the Day -- Video Killed the Radio Star

I haven't heard this song in such a long time. I don't listen to it very often, and I don't really know what the point of it is, but I like it. Its a classic basically. This video is pretty cool too, so you should check it out. [<3]
