Josh sounds more than reasonable from the way you talk about him. *rolls eyes as well* I've seen several situations down here that would prove otherwise. Well, getting an F because of forgetting it is better than feeling like your work isn't good enough. Exactly. I know. Seriously. You don't have to be perfect. It's alright to slip up every now & then. I mean, come on. One little problem like this is not going to give you a whole new rep. And you weren't being lazy. It was an honest mistake. Chill^_^ I declare this "Tara-Needs-to-Lighten-Up Day" She sounds like me. I mean, high school is NOT that important. Just the other day, I had to write a piece of satire for Creative Writing. We had to pick one topic & write a sarcastic-like article on it. I chose to write about people who take school too seriously. I wrote about how "slackers" who don't constantly try to prepare for their future are surely doomed to a life of failure, mediocrity, minimum wage, and are in grave danger of becoming a stay-at-home family member. I got a few chuckles out of my teacher. But I think a few kids in the class failed to see the sarcasm.  So, long story short (too late), don't worry yourself to death over school. Because it's really not that important. I'm not saying school's not important at all. I'm just saying, it's not gonna ruin your life if you slip up once in a while. Try to focus more on enjoying yourself & living for the moment. Well, of course it couldn't hurt to try. Even I don't give up & take an F. I try to do what I can with what I got. But if you have no other options, one F isn't gonna kill you. When it comes to me, I don't care much if I get a bad grade. I just care about facing the teacher. But if it's a situation where I get a bad grade but don't have to talk to the teacher about it or bring it up, then I'm fine. There ya go. |

Does he? Well, that's probably just because I've done well in his class so far. Now I'm gonna fail. But my dad told me to just email him, tell him what happened. He said something like "It looks good, too, if you take initiative and tell him today rather than waiting til Monday, and it'll give him time to cool off if he's mad. Plus, he can't yell at you in an email  " Then my sister went "Yeah, but he can use a really big font" EMBER: I can get startled, and I worry. There are differences That's true. I'd have a better reason to get hysterical if I got a paper that I worked hard on and it had an F on it I've already lightened up. I stayed up for a while last night and wrote a lot (not schoolwork), came up with a decent plan so I could enjoy myself today, and all will be good. See, if I went to bed last night without thinking about it, I'd be more hysterical today. I needed to get everything all sorted out, and have a plan before I could relax. Otherwise, I'd feel rushed today (by the way, is today going by slowly for anyone else? It's really nice. and hey, it's raining again ^.^) My school has such a close community, though, that it's impossible to avoid a teacher or have a situation where you don't talk about your work. Like, even if they don't try to hunt you down about it, if you don't come talk to them, they wonder why. It's actually very hard to not run into every single teacher throughout the day at least once. Funny, because when you want to find a certain teacher, it's really really difficult. Especially Ryan, which sucks for me, because he's my regular advisor and my Synthesis advisor Anyway, hi everyone! |

There ya go. Did you remember his address?
Would you rather deal with a big font, or a death-glare?
*shrugs* Whatever you say. And hey, you're in luck. I don't feel like talking to you today anyway.
Good to know.
Ah. Right. Well, it's different at my school. Round about 2000 students & 3 floors, all very helpful when you want to avoid a teacher.

*waves* Hi everybody. *collapses onto the couch*
Jack: No excalmation point or anything? What's the matter, love?
BJR: Hmm? Nothing. Just really, really, really sick.
Jack: Want me to stay here with you or something?
BJR: *smiles weakly* I'd like that.
Jack: *sits down next to me and puts his arm around me* Consider it done.
BJR: Totally didn't mean to kill the party mood. Carry on. *lays head on Jack's shoulder*

I'm pretty sure it's just the regular format all the teachers use. Some of them have really different addresses, though, and I can't remember if he's one of them, but I'm pretty sure I know it. I can just ask my mom, too Death glare. It's so much easier to tell if he's joking or not EMBER: Oh? Why is that? MORI: You'll still talk to me, right?  My school has a weird setup. We have, like, two and a half floors. They're really small, though, and one of them is mainly a hallway. Like, the top floor is a short hallway, with two rooms opposite each other on one end, two rooms opposite each other on the other end, and two offices opposite each other in the middle. Six rooms, all right across from each other. It's awesome. Same setup below that, too, and in between there's another hallway with even fewer classrooms. There's the student center, bathrooms, computer lab, study hall room, and then two actual classrooms. It's great. And sometimes classes are in the basement room You can't kill the party mood if you're sick! And you're doing better than I would by still hangin with Captain Jack and bein cute ME: *sits in Carrion's corner and writers* CARRION: Still making progress? ME: I stopped working on the fic for the weekend. I actually went back to writing some poems last night. They're simple I wrote three and a half, and only one rhymed, but the others are nice. The first one I wrote is my favorite. Can't say much fror the rhyming one, though. And I didn't really connect with the third one. CARRION: And the fourth? ME: Didn't finish it. I started off goingin one direction, noticed after five or six lines that I was straying very quickly into a totally different direction, drew a big X over it and got ready to start again, then realized it was, despite the fact that it insisted on straying, actually really good. I liked the way it was going, so I wrote "un-X this" to remind myself and didn't try to rewrite it CARRION: .......oh. ME: Sorry if that was hard to follow *goes back to writing* |

AHAHAHAHA! *high fives Mary*
That was one of the best things Mary's ever said.

At noon, I thought it was already dinner time (not exaggerating)
HAHAH WRITERS! I can imagine you saying that.
Oh, and hi everyone!

Of course you're being cute, BJR. Even just the dialogue between you is always cute *flips through a way older notebook and examines something. laughs* MORI: What? ME: *pulls loose paper out and holds it up* It's a short piece I wrote about you way way WAY back when. When I hardly knew what your character was like MORI: So this was before I joined the League? ME: Close. Just right as you were about to, really. It's between you and an unidentified person, obviously powerful in terms of authority and most likely the Boss's henchman or something along those lines MORI: Oh yeah. I remember that ME: It's a little funny. I like your attitude. Especially the part about your age MORI: *laughs* Good times EMBER: Sorry. Just wondering It was (aside from the time when I was playing Bittersweet Romance on the piano and she asked "Can't you play any happy songs?"). I laughed and said "That's a really good point" which probably made her day Really? Cool. I was just wondering, cause last night I said "I'll get all my work done tomorrow, because it's going to go slowly," not really knowing it was going to at all I needed something random to say |

So, long story short (too late), don't worry yourself to death over school. Because it's really not that important. I'm not saying school's not important at all.
