So, here we are.

Almost the end of the school year. (YESSSSSS WE WILL FINALLY GET OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE!)

You know what that means...

Fucking standardized tests.

I don't think I mentioned anything about this yet, but around a month or two ago, I went back to school... sorta. I'm still on homebound and I'm supposed to be only coming in for one class a day, and I still even have some trouble with that.

Supposed to be.

I have to stay there much, much longer, because standardized tests... I get up one hour later or so than normal kids do. Why?! I'm not complaining, but it doesn't make sense to me. I'm guessing because by the time I get there everything's already rolling and there's not a ton of commotion getting ready for the day.

I was there until the very end of the day on Monday, far past when everyone else finished

I was seriously the very last one finished, which might have been my principals fault.

So I woke up on Monday, two or three hours after everyone else started the test. Apperantly my principal should have told me on Friday that I needed to be there a lot earlier for testing. In case you missed the: "should have," She didn't.

I guess I'm glad she didn't because I got to sleep in!

I have such mixed feelings about it though, I guess it was overall a good thing, since they had to put me in a different class and I got to sit beside my best friend, even if we couldn't communicate in any way without a teacher yelling.

Update: I got my tests done like 2 weeks ago but I'm an idiot and forgot to finish this chapter, so I'm gonna do that now.

Hopefully

I freaking hate how they base our intelligence, classes, and worth off of a number, or one test! We are people, not numbers, dammit.

The worst thing is that one day can determine your future classes and shiz.

What if you recently went through something and can't concentrate, what if you have something else on your mind that won't go away, what if you have panic attacks, what if you got no sleep because you were worrying so much, what if you weren't even taught the material, what if you're depressed and have no motivation and do poorly due to that, what if everyone is being loud and you can't work, what if you aren't there, what if you just do bad on that one test but fine on others, what if you don't have enough time to finish....?

Well that's too damn bad.
