Hello!
So, I received the majority of my midterm grades today. I did pretty well in everything besides Algebra 1. I know that I shouldn't be sharing my grade, however, I figure that because it isn't a good grade there's no point in being bashful about it. So, I'll just go ahead and say it loud and clear: I got a 66 on my Algebra 1 midterm. You hear that? Yasmina got a 66. That's a failing grade, a 66. I failed.
When I got my grade back, I don't quite know how I felt. I mean, I guess I sort of wanted to feel sad and yet I felt like laughing. My excuses? Well, I really hate the way that the public school district makes the tests for English and Math, because I don't really feel that they are very good tests of intelligence or understanding. They are extremely... Well, without going into immense detail, they REALLY bother me. I feel like they ask dumb questions that are irrelevant and not useful if you try and compare a person's answers to another person's answers. They don't serve their purpose very well.
I found a little comfort in the fact that most of the class was in my boat, but that didn't make me feel any better. I called my (Math and Science focused) dad today, and I was prepared not to tell him, but right after he said goodbye I just blurted out that I got a 66 on the midterm, and to be quite honest, it wasn't as bad as I thought. It could have been worse. I'm so glad that I am 1,001% sure that I never want to be a doctor or anything in that field. I would never. I guess we'll find that out together though, right?
Basically, I guess I didn't really feel all so bad about my grade, because my average in that class is beautiful and because I really felt as though I studied as hard as I could. Next time, I have to keep the form of the test in mind, because I just do not see eye to eye with the way that they test. I'm going to have to learn how to though.
I'm not embarrassed by my grade at all. I feel like I studied as hard as I could and tried "my best", so I feel like my 66 is my 66, and it's the best grade that I could have gotten (arguably, of course). I'm proud of my 66 in some way. It's completely mine. I tried just as hard to get my 66 as I did to get my 95, so I'm okay. I'm okay!
Bye!
