But I got the shock of my life! At the end we got our marks from the model exam and oh my goodness, I got 29 out of 30!!!!! How the hell?????

Nope. The hardest is still remaining.What is all this drama in this group? I'm still trying to process everything.
By the way, the other block is having a fest and crap it's soooooooo much more amazing than ours! I know I shouldn't be talking because I left early, but I did come for a while. That was nothing in front of this!!!!!We're not allowed to go there, though :/
I got an idea! I'll steal an ID card from someone in the block and go hog and listen to the music!!!!Haha I would the last person on this planet to think about bunking classes. I bunk events, and now I'm staring at an event I can't attend.
Let's all take a minute to giggle at my Physics teacher who tried to scream at the top of his voice to teach us and failed, and finally ended up pausing for the day xD

Thank you! I figured, but I initially thought his comments were still here.
I messed up :( I got the worst experiment of the year..... I totally messed up I'm 99.9% sure I failed. The teacher even tried helping me, but yet I couldn't. Although the teachers themselves understand that it is rather hard, so they did try to help me more than the others.
*hugs Hallie*I feel you with the stress of science experiments :( Honestly a lot of people like them, but when you're constrained so heavily with time, I can't.
*hugs Alia* I like some experiments because they are pretty fun. While the time limit is one of the major annoyances, this particular one is just so tiring even if you have all the time in the world.
Failed experiment
Everyone comes over and ask me, "Hallie, what did you get? How was it?" Then I reply, scowling, "Surface tension." They give me this oh-dear-so-sad-and-unfortunate look and sigh before asking, "Were you able to focus the meniscus?" I say, "Yeah, somewhat....." Then their faces brighten up and then say, "Really?! Then what happened? I think you've done it right!"
Nooooo I messed up!!!! I took almost an hour for that and made my teacher come over three times. That stupid travelling microscope had a mind of its own. I focus it and two seconds later everything just goes blur. The scale? Ughhhhh!!!!!!! That needle? I legit told the needle to go die even though I realize it is non-living.
Let me explain how I got it on the first place. They are handed out by picking lots, so basically it's just luck and I got very, very unlucky today. I was hoping for something like beam balance, but someone had already picked that lot. I just selected some random dull looking paper, and then my teacher flipped it over and handed it to the attenders who directed me to which table I should go. On the way I saw the words 'capillary rise' and 'surface tension' on it, and my mouth instantly let out a 'shit!' And then I swore in every language I knew while taking my seat and just glared at the instrument forever when the teachers have used the instructions.
I've never failed before! What am I supposed to do with this one????

But we did a microscope lab and no one knew who was right because all of our images looked so different. So stressful. The only grade I've earned this year that's below an A was on a lab with a microscope- I earned a 73 due to stupidity :/ Yesterday we did this genome experiment and wow, how do people decode those DNA strands so fast? It's not hard but it's tedious... wow...
I'm sorry Hallie, that's kind of unfair. :( You'll rise again, I know it. And hey, maybe you didn't fail. Maybe you got a grade that seems like a failure in your own eyes, but didn't actually fail. I think you're smarter than you give yourself credit for.
And making mistakes is okay. I messed up horribly on the short answer section of Mr. Knox's test the other day. I can't think like a writer when I'm under harsh time constraints. :/
Don't overestimate others. I'm sure that in both of our cases, they will get the same or a worse result, and only a few will do better.

I don't know how I managed microscopes, but nothing as bad at this one. They are a handful, so don't beat yourself up for it. I think we need to do that again next year!
Yeah, there are chances I didn't fail. The teachers corrected my paper even before I left and they didn't really say anything, so maybe. Hopefully. Well, I never think like a scientist xP Always like a writer no matter what, which is why I want to shift from everything science to English in uni.
Well, you're right again. I've seen a lot of people who messed up, albeit I'm the only one in my class who messed this one up in such an important exam.... The others went wrong in something I'm good at.
People, people! Where do you guys think you're going? No, I don't think it's a wise idea to bunk Botany!
Half the class left!!! Oh my teacher isn't pleased! She is lecturing us even though we're the ones who stayed for her class.
So my Botany teacher caught three girls not paying attention and passing notes. She got mad and told them to get out of the class (which they didn't obey), and told us, "Classes are suspended till further notice. Now you can all go home." Then she left. Oh crap!
We tried apologizing to her, but she is really cross. Everyone was pestering the class prefects to talk to her, and the head class prefect is most likely thinking, 'You guys misbehave and get us into trouble, and I have to go talk to her.' She was already questioned as to why do many had not attended the class in the beginning of the class. Poor girl! Yet she calmly told us to wait for two minutes so that she could take the attendance for the teacher and said she'd talk to her. I'm impressed by the way she is trying to handle things. Hopefully she will know what to do with the teacher as well.
People here are talking about their ex's, and I'm just pretending I don't exist because I have nothing to contribute. Not like I would even if I did.
