This really hasn't been my day... or week for that matter. At least not when it comes to my acedemic preformence. After about three years, I'm completely convinced I'm just not meant to have good grades, and that something simply MUST go wrong to keep me from being all I can be.

Today, I had a short essay due from Weds, worth a couple of Quiz grades, so you bet I did it. I was never the best essay writer, but I tried my best and was ready to pass it in by fifth period... but then, disaster. My Histroy teacher, suddenly, out of the blue, decides to pull an "if its not like this, don't bother passing it in." on us. Worst of all, he decides to count it as a test AND two quizzes. Needless to say, mine was a little lacking, and so, I get no credit for my work, and a resulting 0, 0, and 0 for quizzes and tests respectively. The worst part? I had a perfect B until today, and with a single assignment and a single day, my grade slips all the way down into the D category. I mean, with zeros for two quizzes and a test... I think its pretty impossible to get anythign higher then a C -, and since I didn't have perfect grades to begin with, it can only get worse. =/

It has to be a new record for the fastest falling grade of the century. And do I have time to fix it? Nope, grades just closed today, so I'm up the creek without a paddle. I was so upset, I was literally sick to my stomach after this incident, which hardely seems fair. I do have three full terms to fix everything, but its a little discouraging to know that this is the final countdown until senior year, and I only have this year to get some As... needless to say the pressure is on.
