maria, I just met a girl named maria

so. Beowulf. the movies were HORRIBLE.
and I think from now on I should just start all my posts with Hwaet! because I start a lot of things with "so" an Hwaet! is cooler.

Beowulf, and Beowulf & Grendel....biggest waste of time in my entire life, having to watch those. this final project will be the bane of tonight's existance, because I really want to finish it today.

so why am I here? well you see, I'm extremely good at this procrastination thing.

enough negativity though, today was a really good day. Yesterday I found out that I have a 4.0 in my math class (who ever would have guessed?) and consequently I don't have to take the final!!!!!! that pretty much made my Chistmas Break. so today all I had was music, and we just talked about what's gonna be on the final, and then listened to my teacher tell stories.
"All right, see you all next week for the final. Have a good weekend."
*class gathers things together to leave*
"Did I ever tell you about the time......?"
*class sits back down*

so all I have is one final, and this stupid, ridiculous project. it's really not so bad. it shouldn't be so hard.
it's just...I keep putting it off. I don't even have very much left. I should just finish it.

and yet, it feels SO MUCH like Christmas break right now, I don't want to do anything school-related. so I'll plan a party, wrap Christmas presents, eat brownies, post on my blog, and do a dozen other things that need to be done, and rather ignore the project for a few hours more



oh what the heck. I'll just do it.

  1. So, I could ask somebody at school this, but how exactly does the 4.0 scale thing line up with letter grades and percentages?
    *naive homeschooler question*

  2. yeah, I know...I'm not sure I entirely get it yet.

    for my classes, each teacher was different. in music you had to get a 95% grade I think, and that's a 4.0, A. In math it was a 96%, and in history...I don't remember but they were all really close. upper 90's anyway.

    it was all spelled out on my syllabus. lower nineties was an A minues, 3.8 or 3.9. and so on down the list.

    I think some of it depends on the teacher and the school though.

    and guess what? I finished my project on Friday!!!!
