I haven't posted for a week because I've been to busy watching my senior year unravel before my eyes. For starters I'm beginning to regret taking French 2. My passing the class is hanging on by a thread and I'm in a state of panic 24/7. I understand concepts but when it comes to applying them in online assignments and tests it's apparent that something isn't really clicking. I broke down emotionally this morning and eventually mustered the energy to go to class and talk to my professor about my grade. He told me that office hours are posted for a reason and that I can stop by whenever I have trouble with my work. I also discovered that Columbus State has a peer tutoring program that had I known about I would have signed up for in my second week of classes. Now I only have 2 weeks to try and pull through with a passing grade. Professor Serrano rescheduled the test that was supposed to be taken today to monday, this gives me an extra 4 days to study.
Secondly I found out yesterday that because of my excessive truancy the credits I earned in Junior and Senior year have come into question. To remedy this I have to get official documents excusing me from school from doctors, priests and whoever facilitates an "excused absence" from school. The letter came as a surprise but really what else could I expect with the amount of times I've missed school. Sometimes I was sick, but not sick enough to go to the doctor so those absences are unexcused because I don't have a doctors note. Other unexcused absences could have been excused but I didn't bother with the process of repeatedly reminding myself to ask my parents for a note and then repeatedly reminding them to write it. I didn't really think that getting my absences excused really mattered. Obviously I was wrong and now I face loosing a bunch of credits. I try not to think about this too much because I get really depressed when I do especially when I considered my Junior and Senior years two of my best high school years, I guess that so far my best still isn't good enough.
On a lighter subject... I'm not going to lie, nothing exceedingly positive has happened to me in the past week. What ever strides I made at the end of last week and the beginning of this week were nullified with how terrible the past few days have been. Maybe by the beginning of next week my spirits and fortune will have changed.
Oh well, here's to a brighter tomorrow, until next time...

Wait...The teachers gave you a grade right? A grade that allowed you to pass the class and therefor get credit for it. If they felt that you weren't present in class enough, they should have graded you accordingly at that time. Not now. Revising grades to classes that are already finished and already passed, months after the fact, is an unfair practice. If The Graham School decides to do that to you, I will take this matter up with them myself.
