I'm a mix of happy and mad right now. Both are because of school. Which should I tell you first? Good news or bad news?
I guess I'll say the bad news first, so that I can hopefully end on a happy note. Well the bad news is this:
I blew up at a teacher...again. It happened because my religion class was shown our marks. My friend and I went through the breakdown of everything we did and at the end of the mark entries, I noticed that everyone in the class got 70% on two of the entries. At first I was confused, then I remembered that my teacher had said that he "had too many marks" for us, so he was giving us credit for one assignment by simply going with the grading curve. I had assumed that he meant that he would follow our individual averages, not grade the whole class as one. I was extremely peeved at his actions, when I found out I was mistaken. I had a 91 average, and you would think getting two 70s would completely throw off my average, right? So did I, so I began to question my teacher's choices on the marks. He replied that it wouldn't affect my mark at all, or if it did, it would only be half a percent lower. So I basically shouted at him that half a percent is still lowering my mark. Then he had the gall to tell me that he has the authority to boost up my mark by two percent. First of all, that had nothing to do with what I was saying, and second of all, whatever happened to "your mark is exactly what you give me"? Teachers are always saying that they don't give students marks; students give themselves marks. So how come my religion teacher can so calmly say that he has the authority to change my mark at his will? That's just abuse of power and unfair to students.
Basically, after that, he pretty much just told me to shut up, and I was told by my friends that my face was really red, and then I just started crying from the unfairness of it all. The guy who sits next to me was really nice about it and he kinda tried to make a joke out of it all. I laughed and then the teacher began a new lesson, so I tried to put it out of my mind. But it's the second time a teacher has adjusted my marks to suit his whim, without a real reason. I'm still mad about the first time. This time I'm absolutely furious.
Anyways, on to the good news. My school has an award ceremony in the next two weeks. I've received five awards: one overall achievement award, and four subject awards. I can't wait for awards night to see which subjects I received them in.
I'm done for now, because I'm going to go research whether or not teachers can legally take away marks like that. If you know anything, don't hesitate to comment.
I haven't posted in, like, forever! Even though it was summer and I had nothing to do. Wait, maybe it was because I had nothing to do... Well, anyway, I'm back and better than ever! It's been a month of school already, and overall, I guess my teachers aren't that bad. But, unfortunately, I'm totally failing TT.TT I got a 91% on my English quiz, 92% on my Religion test, and I also got 91% on my History test.. I'm failing! *sob* In case you don't know, I expect perfection from myself, and these marks are way lower than what I had last year. I was holding a 95% average or more. I've messed up real bad and I'm so depressed now. And the other day I broke a mirror! Maybe that's why I'm getting low marks - it's my bad luck for the next seven years! Oh no! *moan* That means I'm not making it through university! My life is ruined! TT_TT
On a happier note, I'm part of my school's concert band this year. Get it? note = music! Ha! I'm totally awesome! Other than that, the only other extracurricular activity I have is my school's newsletter. I'm the proofreader for that, so basically, I'm not getting any work until after people submit articles. I guess it's a pretty easy job, now that I think about it. But it also kinda bothers me that many of the students involved in the newsletter think that I'm the editor in charge. That's not my job, it's my sister's. But for some reason or another, everyone asks me the questions that they should be asking my sister. And we don't look that much alike, especially now that our hair is completely different. Well, whatever. I guess it kinda means that I'm going to be editor next year if I'm lucky. But on the other hand, I'm not sure if I want that responsibility, especially since my parents seem to be against it.
That's all I really have to say for now, because my parents are telling me to shut down and go to sleep. Bye for now!
OMG! It's raining so hard right now! I just went out on my balcony in the rain and it's pouring down so hard! It feels awesome! Just watching the rain sweep through the streets looks fantastic! I think it's rare to see rain coming down so hard, but my sister disagrees. After all, it's summer! The way the streets seem to have fog rolling off of them is seems almost etheral. The world outside my window is a world that I rarely see. It's nature at its best!
I've just experienced an earthquake! 
It felt so odd! It wasn't major or anything, but where I live, we don't get many earthquakes. I was lying on the bed when it happened. It felt really weird! How about you? Have you ever experienced an earthquake?
On a happier note, my exams just finished, so I've finally been freed from all the stress of studying! ...at least until summer school...
Hi everyone! I know I haven't posted in a while, but that's because there hasn't really been anything of interest going on. That, and I have culminating performance tasks and exam reviews happening at school.
On the other hand, tomorrow I will finally graduate from my chinese school, which I've been going to for six years. The ceremony's tomorrow and I'm so excited!!!! XD The only downside is that I lose contact with all my friends in the school. DX
Oh well. This was a short post, but if I have time and things to talk about, I'll be sure to post some more!
See you soon! (Hopefully)
If you don't feel like reading about my life, then the exit's above this. Those who wish to go may do so now, else be silent forever......okay? 
Anyone still here? If you are, well then, welcome! I'm superkawaiineko, an average girl living in an average home, going to an average school, leading an average life. (Wow, sounds depressing.)
