Yesterday was long. Had Solo and Ensemble Festival afterschool and a 5 chapter Euro test on Friday that I had to study for. Solo and Ensemble Festival went better than I expected. I played in a sax trio with Nathan and Sado, and I didn't think we did that great, but we got a Superior and Mr. McBrien seemed to really like it, so that's good.
Yesterday I also almost got a Saturday school (like a detention, except on Saturday morning, and I think for 2 hours? Or maybe 4. Or maybe it depends on how much they feel like giving you. I don't know, I've never gotten one before. But you're not allowed to do work, I heard, you just have to sit there). During French I got a note to go to the attendance office and I was freaking out because I never get sent to the office and I'm just this little goody two-shoes and so when she asked me to come in I was like shaking. And then it turned out I just made a mistake last week in leaving school to go to my orthodontist appointment, but she said that my previous attendance was really good and I had done it right in the past, it was just a mistake, so she was just going to give me a warning. So now I just have to be sure not to make such a stupid mistake in the future.
Today we got our essays on Wuthering Heights back in English. With the curve, I got a B+! And the curve was only 3 points, so it's not like the ridiculous 20-point curve I had in Euro that raised my C+ to over 100%. Actually the area I did the worst on the essay was grammatical errors, which is irritating because I usually do grammar correctly naturally (which might not be evident on my livejournal, since I use all sorts of bad grammar, but in essays it's usually pretty spot-on). And while my first paragraph's analysis was kind of week, she said the second was really strong and I chose really good evidence. So yay. :D We have another essay on Monday, and I was dreading it, but this puts me in a slightly better... frame of mind, I guess.
Veronica Mars this week was so excellent. I love this show so much.
Thank you to people who requested stuff for me to take pictures of for the Photo Meme. I'll post the pictures in about a week.
Now I should probably catch up on the shows this week I missed.
1 school week left before spring break! :D
