I'm crapping out here...

Well.. its 2:10 (surprise, surprise) that enough should tell you that I am being my usually fuck-upy self.. narf. My left pinky is numb again it makes typing really difficult.. its not so much numb as it feels like its asleep, for the entire day.. the violin is cumbersome too.. oh well.

I'm writing 3 articles for tomorrow.. I have my 2 important ones.. the 3rd.. well. I will turn something in tomorrow and it will be ok.. I'll just sneak that one in late and no one will know the difference.. mwahahah!

I was sooo tired today.. I came home and messed around and fell asleep 9-ish to 11. Woke up and did some homework. Story of my life.

In the mail I got my info from Cal Arts. I was expected like, a pamphlet or something. They sent me an application.. AHAHAHA.. it looks a seriously cool place but I don't know if I could deal with an art only institution.. just like an academic only institution would drive me insane. If I wanted to have a chance at going, I would have to have a porfolio (on slides) of my graphic design and typography (of which I have none to date but out of sheer intrest bought a Brit graphic design mag featuring typography and the programs required) and skill. Hm.. I don't even have a portfolio the knowledge of how to make slides, or a Mac which is the format required. Hrm.. that is troublesome.. oh, and my drawing skills need help. Like.. serious drawing skills. I'm taking Drawing 1 next year, I've seen the amazing miracles Ms. Costa has preformed on people from that class, I hope it works on me too.

School is totally bizarre these days. My 2 B's from last semester (though I really "deserved" the A in Pre-Cal) are both A's. A 90 in Latin and.. ::cough:: a 98 in Pre-Cal. That is hilarious. However.. my highest grade (usually) history is a B. I'm sincerely disappointed. Consider the comparrison:

In Latin, we had one major test which I argued my way to an extra point for an 80. That should have destined my grade as a low B, no? I did go to that thing.. maybe he added some points for that.. but still. Between one low test and some vocab quizzes. I was shocked when I heard I had a 90.

In History, we have had several tests all of which I made high/solid A's on. Except for one, which due to circumstances, I got an 80 on. The way her grades work. It gave me an 89. My only hope was to get a 100 on Friday. I studied for 6 hours, more than I've ever studied before in my life. I pulled off a 96. The 80, which averaged in once as a test grade and was averaged with the 96 as a total LAP test grade registered as a B twice in the grade book. The phenomena of how a 96 brings you from an 89 to an 88. That is so fucked up I can't even tell you. At least an 88 is fixable. I can't tell you how much her grading turned me off from learning today. One day I had a 100 on a test without trying, now the most persistant efforts aren't good enough. I don't know what she thinks of me anymore. Maybe she feels bad, she said "bye Sarah, have a nice afternoon" and I said "bye" softly because I was rather miffed. I guess she didn't hear me because she repeated it 1.5 more times. I turned around and I think maybe I was slightly rude. I feel really bad. I was hoping for a solid reccomendation out of there.. but now it will be like "yeah.. she was great for a while, but she slipped and became extremely disappointing" ok.. I seriously need to go to bed now.
