My life doesn't really suck, except for Physics. Physics tests, I should say.
See, my high school makes all of the freshman (that's me) take Physics instead of Biology. I'm in Honors Freshman Physics, and my teacher is actually a Biology teacher who knows little about Physics. I normally think I know the material before a test, but this quarter, my test grades were 50%, 59%, and 69%. This is for someone who is in ALL honors courses and is ranked in the 97th percentile on the "Explore" tests. (Tests that help you find out what you want to be when you grow up. The highest you can get is a 99.)
... Back to the Physics. I had been doing all the homework and all the extra credit work for the whole quarter. And my final grade for Quarter 2 is... 73! So combined with my 77 from Quarter 1, I have a C for quarter one. This stinks, because I'll need an overall grade (All four quarters) of 'B' to move on to Honors Chemistry next year, which is when grades REALLY matter.
Well, I guess the only thing I can do is try my best, and work my butt off.
