bad day. had the band perf today, got to leave class right after recess. that was the only good thing about today, because we got back our chinese and math papers. did okay for math, though it coulda been so much better had I done more preparation. chinese. oh chinese. why??? I am in such awesome trouble. failed chinese! well, actually, I passed. but it was a less than borderline pass. 50 out of 100. not even a 51. BLEH! how do I tell my parents.. my tuition teacher.. they will murder me! if not, they'll do something worse, like make me speak chinese, watch chinese shows, read chinese books etc. AAAAH. this is really bad. dammit. I will have to quit band! pearlyn says its not band's fault that chinese really isnt my thing, and that my parents cant be serious. but they are! my dad only just reminded me how much of a joke this is, like last friday or something. its scary! I cant quit band. band is almost like my most favourite past-time now! not just a past-time (dont get me wrong), I LOVE BAND. I really hope my parents wont make me quit. I CANT! AAAH this really stinks. I thought I'd have gotten higher! aww man.. I need to make the grades. maybe I will do really well for english. and history. no way am I gonna get 12 points. unless I get like 1 for every other subject. which is a really far-fetched idea. sigh.
