Ya know. Last year I got my PSAT scores. I actually started crying over them last year. They were 'average' I scored better than 70 % of all sophomores. That upset me a lot. Today I got my scores. I can safely say I have not shed a single tear over them. HOwever I am very depressed. At school I hang out with the 'smart kids' You know who I am talkign about the ones who score better than 99% of their grade on every standardized test. The ones who flip out if they get a B on a test.

Well so, becuase of that, I spend I would say 90 percent of my time tryign to convince people that I am smarter than I seem. That I just dont apply myself, that I don't care. Well I can say I am not looking forward to going to school tomorrow. So I got my scores, 93 percent verbal. 33 percent math. I failed the test. There is no other way to look at it. I failed. I have never scored very well on the tests buut I have never failed. I have never even come close to these scores. SO truthfully I don't know what I did. However I fear for when I take the HSPA's this year.

If I fail them I don't graduate. Plus I'll be stuck in remedial math all next year. Now, if some of you don't understand I can't be put in remidal math. I am running a B+ in pre calc right now. Kids who are in remedial math scored higher than me. I feel like puking. I lied maybe I will go cry. I don't have a clue what I will say to my friends tomorrow when I come in and they all ask me what my scoes were. I assume I will lie and say that I did my usual which is like B- level work. They'll believe it. My mom told me not to worry aboiut it. All this meant was that I wouldn't be a math major. I said big deal.. I was planning to major in science. Well no school would accept me with those sort of scores hell I can't even get out of highschool with those scores. All I can think is isn't there something wrong with the system when a B/A student can't pass standardized tests?

I had a score in writing to. It was insignficant and was quickly forgotten. My dad is dissapointed in me. He thought I was finally finding something I was good at. Apparently he was wrong.
see yall later sorry this was so logn an drawn out and boring
i apoligize
