All A's Are Loong Gone

Heyo. Shiit, I have a three page paper to write and it's 11:14! I'm tempted to not do it.. er.. no, that'd be so so so bad.
TOMORROW'S FRIDAY TANYA! YOU CAN SUFFER ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY, BUT JUST DO IT GODDAMNIT!

I got a lovely message in sixth period today.
A note.

"Hello. blah blah blah blah. By now you should have received your five week progress report, and we noted, you have two or more N or D grades in your classes."
SHIT!
WHAT THE HELL?

Hey, Elizabeth. You remember, I get all A's every year? Apparently I have two N's or something..? What the heck is with that..!?

Well, worried as hell, I checked 'the source', which is an online grade report for parents. The dumb fucks were wrong, I have ONE N, thank you. I have an N in Japanese, and the rest are B's and A's.. Which is a relief. I can't handle failing two classes at once, gotta work on my Japanese.

You have to understand, I have a major disadvantage in Japanese this year. I never took Japanese in middle school, therefore I had one year, in high school. Last year, our teacher didn't teach us any Katakana. I'm a sophomore.. This is my second year of Japanese. Therefore, half the class are freshmen, because they took Japanese in middle school. THEY were taught Katakana. I wasn't. So I had a test just a few days ago on something I'd never studied (an entire alphabet, written) that I'd never done nor read. With about three days to study for it. So yeah.. Compared to these guys who've studied it a long while and mastered it, just a bit flakey, I was doing something completely new.

And also, I was absent three days in a row. That really didn't help. And I suck at Kanji (ANOTHER alphabet)
That's why I have an F in at least two or three of my test scores.
But the girl next to me got the same scores for nearly all her tests, so I feel a bit better. It was really funny, we missed the same things, had the same number. No, she wasn't copying me.

So I'm working on that.. *sigh*

I did get an B and then an A on the last two tests.. SO, I should be above an N soon enough. Damn, how much doooes this class weigh on tests? We have nearly no homework, so I'm screwed-ish.
Oh. 50% of your grade is tests. GREEAT.
I'm terrible at studying and I blank out during tests. .. It's terrible.

So.. I stayed after school today, went over the days of week in both hiragana and kanji, the 50 or so new words we got on a list, and how to write numbers in kanji.
Jeezus.

I'll probably do that more often, just to see if it saves my grade.

I hoope... jeez.. *sigh*

The two teetering classes are Math and Japanese. Japanese because the tests, Math because of my laziness and the tedious homework assignments. Good thing she takes it late.
Ugh.. I hate papers. So much to worry about.. I hate knowing that someone will be reading my crap soon. I'd jump right in if I knew it didn't matter how I write it, as no one reads it, but four of my table-mates will be reading it, which is like.. ugh.
Makes me feel more like not doing it. Bleeh.
God. I better get started. Ugh.
