Grades @ MindSay

An 18-year-old student has been charged with breaking into his prestigious high school and hacking into computers to change his test grades from Fs to As.

If convicted on all 69 counts, including altering and stealing public records, computer fraud, burglary, identity theft, receiving stolen property and conspiracy, Mr Khan could spend almost four decades in prison.

He is currently being held on $50,000 (£25,500) bail and is scheduled to appear in court today.

So, I just got an e-mail from one of my Prof's saying that he is going to have to take into account all of my "unpreparedness" for class and all of my absences in my final grade. First of all, I told him that all of my absences have been due to migraines, and I showed him a doctors note for it! Second of all, I have always been prepared for that class! I hate this professor, he is the one that has been looking at me when I have told him about my migraine problems like he doesn't believe me. He is such a jerk. He tells me that something is "off" with my projects, and then when I fix them, he still gives me a low grade. WTF?! And he knows that we just got review results back, so people are a little preoccupied, not to mention that we do have other classes with finals. I feel like all of these grad-students/professors are out to get the younger students. I think it's just because they don't know what the hell they are doing, but they still suck. Oh, and I still have to figure out when we're moving, manage our small income, wait until Monday(as previously stated in my last blog) to figure out what I'm even doing next semester. AHHHHHHH!

Good things about today:

 

- We had a fire drill at break, and got 10 minutes extra because of it, hence, missing 10 minutes of Science.

 

- Science was a piss easy lesson.

 

- I got my results for my Science resit exam; an A, so I'm quite pleased.

 

- I got another bit of #1263 artwork finished in the library.

 

- I came home and played iSketch with Miraan, Adam, Ayshea and Stephen. It was fun, we had laughs.

 

- I talked to Adam for ages over MSN, sending each other really hilarious sound files.

 

- I laughed so much at a screenshot from our iSketch game, I almost crapped my pants. - Really, I was totally touching cloth. :)

 

[Though you may ask what's good about that one, I like to laugh, regardless of the consequences.]

 

 

Bad things about today:

 

- Results of my ICT exam, totally not happy. Two grades lower than I wanted.

 

- Thus, I have now given up on ICT.

 

- Thus, making only 3 out of 9 subjects that I still give a shit about.

 

- Coursework deadlines are indeed, stressing me out.

 

- I was tired throughout the whole day.

 

- I cried down my aisle after school, but Sammie comforted me.

 

- Claire is ignoring me. She seems really angry at me, and I don't know what I've done. I think she doesn't like me anymore.

 

- Emily isn't back... I haven't heard from her at all. No Mindsay comments, no emails, no anything...

 

...Where is my darling Emilpops......?

I should be reading The Dew Breaker and writing my reading responses, but instead I've been playing around on the computer all day. I have been doing laundry, though, so my day hasn't been completely unproductive. I'm not the scumbag I usually think I am.

This update will be quick as I really don't have any patience for writing today.

Last night at about 4 a.m., someone decided it would be an excellent idea to light fireworks on 3 M-X, so the fire alarms went off and my entire building was herded out into the freezing cold. It was not fun; I've never shivered from cold and exhaustion so much in my life. Daylight Savings fucked me up, and I'd only been sleeping for an hour when the fire alarms roused me with their screeching from hell. Needless to say I was not pleased, and it took me almost 45 minutes to fall back asleep afterwards.

I also found out my grades for my psychology test and German history paper: C and C+ respectively. That put me in a mood for most of the weekend; I'm used to being a good student, so even though I was warned I would get these grades, I didn't think it applied to me. Obviously, I was wrong. I got the C+ in German history because my writing style, 'while intriguingly narrative', wasn't analytical enough. This is further proof that I can't pursue a career in history.

I got a letter from Student Accounts Friday afternoon saying I owe the school $2,000 because FAFSA didn't yet pay them the loan they were supposed to. It was only after a few hours of fretting that I realized I forgot to go online and sign my Master Promissory Note. That's all taken care of now, but it was still a pain in the ass and enough to make me geek shit. I thought I was going to lose my housing for next semester after I'd already planned to room with Caroline, Theodora, and Aly in my suite next year. Boo.

Aly and I went to the Oakdale Mall yesterday (during this huge thunderstorm) and were terrified within an inch of our lives but a thunder clap that set off every car alarm in the mall's parking lot. Not fun. Even more not fun? It rained all damn weekend except for today, but it was cold and cloudy and altogether blah today. It also changed from rain to snow yesterday, which was not cool.

I went to the Masquerade Ball yesterday dressed as a pirate with a mask over my face and I clearly missed the point of the Ball: I was the only one there (except for two other guys) who dressed in a costume. Everyone else wore beautiful dresses and handmade masks over top. I left after an hour to go see the Golden Compass; I was so uncomfortable I could barely stand it.

To make everything else better, my parents have been out of power for almost two days now, they can't find a heater to keep warm (obviously we have no heat at the house without power), and when Mum went to do laundry at the laundromat, she grabbed house cleaner instead of laundry detergent and managed to bleach out a good share of her brand new work clothes she got for Christmas along with some of Dad's brand new clothes from Christmas. All in all, they've had a shitty weekend and so have I.

My saving graces this weekend have been a visit to the Underground Coffeehouse (where I got to listen to a really awesome band called the Middle Eight [check them out]), a trip to WHRW (where my whole DJ issue and time slot issue were solved in one fell swoop), and two breakfasts comprised of chocolate chip pancakes.

Let's hope next weekend is better. Caroline and Theodora will be here, and Aubrey's coming to visit, so I hope to God things work out. Otherwise, someone will die.

Only one of marks, as of now, is under 80%:D

 

Science: 77%

Careers: 98%

History: 86%

Gym: 87%

 

If i just fill in that one Zero i have on my mark slip, itll be at about 80%. But there still is exams and culminateling activities to do.  Blahh.
