A new semester and hopefully a fresh start

Posted by frank34443 on Feb. 4, 2007, 4:55 p.m.

So as I sit here writing this, all I can think about is the new semester starting for me tomorrow. In case you don't know, I'm in grade 10 at the moment. Unfortunately, as unhappy as I am to admit it, I really messed up this first semester. I missed out on 2 assignments worth 5% - 10% each, and I found the exams to be really hard. I definately passed every course, but I just hate having low marks. Then again, I had my weaker subjects, so maybe theres a reason to why it wasn't the best semester. Either way, tomorrow is a fresh start with new teachers, new classmates, and new subjects. I am going to have: History, English, Computers, Civics, and lastly Careers. Civics and Careers are just some sort of required courses, but the other three courses are my strong courses. I'm good at all of them. I am finally going to get a chance to learn Java programming in computers, learn about writing in English (which I really like), and learn about History. I don't really like history, but it is interesting and easy. I wanna be a doctor when I grow up so I have to pull myself together and get at least 80 in each subject. Starting next year I have to get at least 90 in everything. I know I can do it, but it takes a lot of effort, and I spend a lot of my time making games, signatures, websites, and of course playing games.

This new semester, I hope I get a lot of new teachers who will do the following:

a) Don't give hard or lots of homework

b) Are good at explaining stuff

c) Actually let you be creative and do your own thing rather than taking notes for the whole class

I also hope that some certain people won't be in my class. Well actually two people. What I mean is, during math class this first semester, I got seated with two really weird people, who sort of ganged up on me in a really really annoying way. I won't mention what they said as its not really suitable, but in the end it all came down to them saying something to get on my nerves, then I would say: "What are you talking about, you are being really stupid", and then they would say, "Ask anyone!" and then I would… and they would be proved wrong, but since there was two of them and one of me they kept thinking that they were right. This isn't all they did though. One of the kids, the one who sat beside me, would constantly ask me for a pencil or paper, and even though I only had one, he would keep asking for one. When I eventually put my pencil down on my desk, he would take it suddenly and start writing junk about me on the desks. Many times I started yelling at him as the lesson was being taught, and it even got me moved for one class, in front of everyone. Eventually I thought, "You know what, I'm getting tired of this!", so I threw a few punches in this guys arm. He is about 3.5 feet tall, and in grade 10, so that should be enough to tell you about his social status. Anyways… Since that didn't stop him, I had a great plan. I got him to play soccer with my "crew" (Crew means friends, I just wanted to make it sound more interesting), before mentioning that we play full tackle. So he came out, played with us, and I tackled him with all I had in me (I'm about 5'8 - 165 pounds, now imagine me running into a guy who is about the size of a grade 3 or 4). Anyways, I hurt his ribs and got him to back off, but this all happened in the last few days, so he only backed off for the last week or so. During the game, he came up to me and said "Hey my ribs hurt so you better not tackle me", then I thought, "Why does he act so tough if he seriously has nothing to back himself up except his retard friend?" I told him that I didn't care, and that if he touched the ball. I'd be the first one tackling him. And I did tackle him a few more times.In the end I got him to back off, and thats what the whole point was. Well this is the guy I don't want in my class, and his friend.

In the end, theres nothing more to say about this topic, so long story short, I hope Ill have a good second semester which will end with good marks (at least 80, and potentially 90), and no Michael or Bojan (The kids who were complete retards in my math class this semester).

In other news…

I am currently playing FF 12 (Final Fantasy 12). Its not a bad game actually, but it changed a lot and a lot of the hardcore fans might not like it. I like it though considering this is only my second final fantasy. The last one I played was 7, which is supposedly the best in the series. I like both of them a lot since they have their own unique style. The music in FF12 is a complete dissapointment though.

Peace out, thanks for taking your time to read my blog.

I like history personally, but I cant play sports like soccer outside because we have about a foot of snow right now. Also my second semester starts tommaro too and I have French, Science, Tech, and Gym which will all be awesome because my first semester was tough.

Oh lol, we have a foot of snow too, but me and my friends are crazy… anyways, I dropped french after my first year since I have always hated it.
