So, how's life at school?

Thanks, Cass. I can look forward to my graduation ceremony this coming week. I anticipate that it will be a rather tedious and long-winded affair on the whole, but at least there'll be that fun bit at the end (I presume) where everyone gets to throw their hats into the air.

Exactly how all this immersion in English literature is going to help me in the real world, when the time comes, is anyone's guess, but I can certainly hold my own in conversations on Samuel Beckett and Laurence Sterne.

Bumped for a report

YAY I'M NOT WITH DRAMA GIRL THIS YEAR!!! She ended up transfering to another school. One of my teachers told me that her mother thought my group was a bit "energetic and rough" for her little baby.

In other words, she called everyone in my Asperger's program (INCLUDING ME WTF >_<) spoiled brats with additudes. Had I seen that old fart of a hag I woulda socked it to her. I'm not spoiled, you crazy butt-ugly female dog.

Anyway, I'm stuck with Mean Boy now. He's pretty OK, I guess...except he insults me every chance he gets. For example:

English Teacher: Did you finish your autobiography, *Elena? (*Real name)
Me: Yeppers.
Mean Boy: As in all the drafts before the final copy?
Me:...Yes.
(Mean Boy stares at for two seconds)
Mean Boy: YeahNO.

Seriously, why does he care? All I did in response was roll my eyes in my head. (The kid never does his homework, BTW.) The substitute para (my regular para was absent for the day) told me, "Maybe he's concerned about you." After she said that, M.B. just stares at her and me like we're freaks in a circus act.

Jerk.

Oh god, I have a guy like that in my Economics class. He thinks he's better than everyone else, he thinks of me as the local moron of the school, especially when I make a mistake. Scratch that, EVERYBODY thinks of me as the local moron. Except for the teachers.

I hope its not wrong to think my teachers are my only friends at school...they're the only ones who are nice to me.

awww! Poor girl

don't worry, i sincerely doubt that everybody hates you. You'd have to work really, really hard to accomplish that. Heck, I haven't even been able to do it (yet)

chin up!

At the end of the school year my teachers used to hand out awards for achievement at a school-wide ceremony. Some goofy awards were usually included. One year I got a special award in World History for the most homework assignments turned in at the last minute (35).
