Coming up Next: Winter Break

On Wednesday, and today were the finals. I was so nervous; I was just afraid of getting a bad grade. Guess what? I bombed both my Algebra and Biology test! Oh joy~! Ugh! I felt so embarrassed. They said the finals were 20% of our grade. If we failed, it could bring us down a letter grade or two. If we did alright, then it could raise us a letter grade. I felt so bad, because I worked hard in order to maintain my grade. I have all A's and like 2 B's. These finals really yanked on my hair for the past few days. When I found out I bombed two tests, I just wanted to drop down to my knees and cry. I've tried so hard and I feel like it was for nothing. My friends did horrible on their tests too. I didn't really feel bad because they failed other quizzes we had in the past. Another bad thing is that it's not over yet. I have to take two more tests for 2 other classes. For the past 2 days, the schedule was really messed up. If there was a test in that class, they made it longer. If the test isn't until the next day, they would shorten it. I was really confused on which classes had tests and what other classes had tests the next day. For tomorrow, it's a half day. I'll only be there for 2 and a half hours, because it's only two more tests. These last tests that I have are Civics and Health. Civics was very difficult for me and I never asked for help. I'm in an Honors class and these kids are so smart. I moved from my average class to my honors because 95% of the class failed their test and had to review old stuff again. So, I was moved. At first, it seemed to simple, but when I heard that if you missed an assignment, you would get detention. Never in my life have I had a detention and I wasn't going to start now nor ever. I was able to maintain an A in that class, but it was just too confusing. I'm really shy but I love talking to teachers. But, for this class, it was just hard and I went back into my shell. I didn't bother to answer or ask questions. Now, I'm scared that I'll bomb both my Civics and Health test. I'm really nervous. I went to check my grade to see how much the test affected my current grade. I actually didn't affect it that much. It brought it down to like...ummm...how could I explain this? Like, I had like a 97% in Math and the test turned it into a 90.3%. Actually not that bad, and my Biology grade isn't a C, it's still a B. So glad that worked out. My Literature teacher said that the first Semester of high school was going to be hard. Trust me, it was. I can't wait till tomorrow, because after tomorrow it's a half day, I'll be done with the 2 tests and my winter break will start. After winter break, the second semester will come and I'll ace it. I'm gonna pray tonight that I do good on my last two tests. Good night!
