Ho Hum... the life of a 9th grader is hard. WAY harder than most people think. I mean come on- 9th grade is the begining of high school. You have to get good grades so that you can get into good classes in 10th grade or POOF you fail all of high school, then won't get into college, and THEN you won't get a good job. The rest of my life depends on how well I do this year in school. And I'm already failing. At the beginning of the year I got good enough grades- A's, B's, a few C's. But last quarter I did REALLY bad in English (you see, I refused to read Great Expectations, so I failed all the tests...lol) and got a D. My Mom doesn't know yet... but when she does find out, I am in SO much trouble!! I'm already mad at myself, I don't need my mom yelling at me. Now, if I don't get an A this quarter in English, I'm not gonna get into AP world history. :( So, you see? 9th grade isn't as easy and care free as most people say. They say, "just wait till college". Yeah, well I say: "I won't get into college if I don't do good in 9th grade". *Sigh* Hmm... yeah, I'm depressed. But, hey! I want to be a film director when I grow up, and no way will a grade in school tell me that I can't be a film director just because I got a D! *Sigh* But life would be easier if I got good grades.... (maybe I should stop day dreaming during math...)
