I'm sorry I haven't post alot. ^^;
School really kills my time. I don't have alot of time to work on artwork and sprites (ARGH more about sprites than art for important reasons) and I totally suck at school.
I have an F in Pre-Algebra and D- in Earth science. I feel so bad cause I felt like I tried really hard. My brain is just SO tired after school and even during it, that I can't help but forget things.
So, just wanted to tell you I'm not dead, still need to finish some sprites (*bites tongue softly*) and just to tell you all...uhm... that my life is sucking. =D
HAVE A NICE NIGHT. ^-^

Awww.... *gives hug* I feel exhausted too - I really should drop one of my afterschool activities, you know?
I find that if you get really tired/stressed, try taking a nice long bath (or shower, whatever) then take a nap, and perhaps have some of your favorite food.
Another thing you could do is tell your teachers that you're struggling (sometimes they don't notice, especially if you are a part of a huge class), and maybe they can explain the concepts to you in a different way.
Just try to get enough sleep at night and you'll be all right. *gives another hug*

Yeah, still wondering about the Randall Sprites...
Ugh. Algebra. HATE IT. Know where your coming from.
Like I've said before. Nowadays, schools give classes that might not be needed for your future career. Heck. Come on everyone. I know you would wish that school wasn't so hard on all of us.
Yeah. So far, I cope. But I know what it's like to have this building being a time waster. Hmmm.... I hate grades really. A simple "letter" determines your, in a way, "intellegence" on a subject. Schools LABEL a person.

I have to say I hated Algebra myself. Many, many decades after I graduated from high school, I cannot for the life of me think of any way that I have used Algebra or how it's helped me with anytihng as an adult, and I'm pretty smart. I know school is a necessity-shoot, I wouldn't have a JOB if it were'nt-but the schedules are getting to the point that they are really detrimental to the health of both the people who work there and the students. The school day starts earlier and earlier, and lasts longer into the day, and vacations and breaks get fewer and fewer each passing year, so that staff and students have less and less time to sleep or just take "beathers". Work loads on all get more intense, and the pressure to pass standardized tests has gotten more and more intense as well. In our state, some of our law makers are wanting to change the state law to give students and teachers more days off, recognizing how stressful it has become, but they won't succede, not with our state at the bottom of the bunch in standardized test scores, which is the sole determining factor in whether a student can learn or a teacher can teach.

Yeah same. Our teacher even SAID we weren't going to be using it in real life. They keep coming up with stupid ways to solve things when the original was good enough, or coming up with new ways or different requirements....
...You know. To me, Summer is a dream. I can't remember for the life of me what we did this summer.

*sigh* Yeah. Thanks to school, I have to study more because of my last report card. Now I can only be in the board on Saturday. Blah.

But yesterday was Sunday ^_^ Oh, no! School's getting to everbody worse than we thought! *runs around in a panic* ...That seriously reminds me of something a guy said in my math class today. He asked our teacher how many units we had to do (this semester). The answer was eight. We already had done two, so he said something like (this was in French, by the way, so I'm paraphrasing), "Well, I failed the first two, so I'll probably fail the next seven as well.". So, as you can immagine, we all burst out laughing (because 2+7=9, yeah?). Then we told him to go back to grade two, and could he please not come back until he passed?

Gah. Algerbra. Hate that word.
Don't worry, MelTSS- they really pile things on at school, and rarely sympathise with the fact that school is not your entire life.

Algebre?! I can't stand it. It nearly failed me. I dunno; I found it one of the easiest things to do, now (Isolate that variable! *waves pompoms*). Any particular reason you wrote "algebra" with the French spelling? Es-tu en immersion française aussi?

Due to because she enjoys french more than algebra? ^_^
