..and I got grounded for it. =/

It's a health/PE class, and we were on the health bit. We had open-book tests to take on our school's website - twenty-eight of them, I think, and a good five or six weeks to take them. I was doing really good with keeping up with it..but then there was that..and I spent most of the class talking to my best friend's girlfriend/one of my best friends...and by the time the last week before break rolled around, I quite simply did not want to work. So I figured I'd do it over break - only I forgot to write down the code for the online book. So I decided not to worry about it; figured that he gave us so much time already, and I assumed that we'd probably have another week to finish up. I was wrong - he closed all the assessments on Monday, and I'd only finished three of the eight I had left. Which counted as zeros, and brought my grade to a 72..which my mom saw, of course. Disadvantage to having computers in school - grades update online instantly, and your parents can see them. Which really sucks.

So I got my phone and computer taken away - although the worst thing she took was really my iPod and my small collection of CDs. But another good friend (I should really pseudonym people here..) gave me a Sublime greatest hits album for Christmas, which has been in my backpack, so if I can dig out my old CD player, I'll at least have something. I'm sure I'll get a little sick of Sublime over the course of three weeks - although the friend who gave me the CD offered to sync some music to her old Nano for me.

I've never been grounded - and the worst part is going to be losing the social life I just started to get...I have real friends, good friends, that I really enjoy spending time with - and now I'm stuck at home for half a month. Ah, well..there's always school to talk to people, I guess. And the occasional chance to get on the computer to do "homework" or "study". My mom said she'll give everything back if I can pull my gym and biology grades up to B's..biology's almost there, and definitely will be by Friday - it's just gym that I'm not sure what to do about. I'm gonna try asking the teacher if I can have one more chance to finish the assessments up, and if not, if there's any sort of extra credit I can do. Cuz it'd really be nice to have this weekend to go do something. =/
