Random things in my life

Thing 1:

My physical fitness status has officially reached a Dan Howell-level low. I had to go get something from this pharmacy place near my house (and by near I mean you can see it from my house), and I decided to jog there, because why not. Well. I managed to pull a tendon in this simple endeavor. I have decided that I am finally going to take initiative and I am going to find some somewhat enjoyable way to get some exercise once my leg heals and walking is no longer moderately painful.

Thing 2:

The 2nd marking period at school ended on Friday, which means we get our report cards soon. In my school, all As and Bs is honor roll, and all As is distinguished honor roll. Before last week, I had myself set for distinguished honor roll, which I've only gotten one other time out of 9 marking periods in my middle school history. BUT OF COURSE, I HAD TO BOMB ONE STINKING SCIENCE TEST IN THE LAST WEEK OF THE MARKING PERIOD, BRINGING MY SCIENCE GRADE DOWN TO A B, AND NOW I'M NOT GETTING DISTINGUISHED HONOR ROLL.

I'm incredibly angry about this.

Thing 3:

My state does this thing called string fest, where each school in a county selects a few of its best players, and you go there and you get to play in this giant orchestra with about 20 other schools, and you do a concert that evening. Since I'm first chair viola in my school (and I'm one of the few kids my teacher actually likes), I'm going to it on Thursday. Yay missing school! And yay for being in pain from playing for many hours at a time!

Thing 4:

Since my school is advertising itself as a 'writing center', we have to do at least one writing piece in every class. And that includes math. And gym. All the teachers that don't teach subjects where writing is applicable HATE this rule. Anyway, to meet the requirement, my math teacher gave us this list of math writing prompts he printed off the internet. And some of them were pretty ridiculous. Examples:

-Would you rather be a rational or irrational number?
-Argue against the use of calculators in math class
-Create a jingle about how to solve slope-intercept form equation.

I picked the rational/irrational number one and gave a smart-ass answer about not wanting to be magically turned into a number.

Thing 5:

My brother just fell on his face while trying to use a snowblower.
