    I expect I'll be good as new tomorrow. :grin: Right now my main problem is a dull soreness left over from the ordeal and stiffness form not being able to move my foot.

    Good luck with your tests. I bet you'll do great!

    Well I got results from Psychology test.
    64%.
    Decent, considering I had no idea I had the test that day... One night of about 2 hours intense study :p
    Algebra, yet to get results, I know I did poorly though.
    Stats SHOULD be easy, multi-choice, and short answer questions, and seeing as its STATS! its easy :)
    And the assignment is just a weekly thing I have to do, like 5 questions based on whwat we learned in the weeks lectures.

    Vectors are quite easy and fun really, but I love a lot of maths so go figure :)

    Yep! So no worries!

    I miss calculus sometimes. I truly enjoyed solving those problems.

    My 12th year was...a bit of a bumpy ride for me. I suffered through a couple of mental breakdowns primarily revolving around my English class and my total, 100% inability to analyze a poem or piece of literature. We had a weekly timed essay analyzing a poem. An essay every goddamned week. My inability and anxiety were such that I would end up staring at the poem, unable to even makes sense of what was written. Eventually I learned that I would be unable to do it, so I just wrote nothing. Got a 0 every week. My dad, who is divorced from my mom and as such lives apart from us, rather than offering advice or encouragement, just went on a rant of how terribly I was doing in the class and his final word on the matter was simply: "Do better." That caused a wound in our relationship that took years to heal, and I still haven't completely forgiven him.

    Then we had to do a research paper about something. I didn't finish in time, and my teacher was gracious enough to give me another week. With the help of my brother and his wife, I was able to complete it. I worked harder on this thing than any other assignment ever. I got a 60, and my teacher said I was lucky not to get lower, considering it was only 6 pages long and the assigned length was 15 pages. This was the final nail in the coffin that eternally shattered any confidence I had, have, or ever will have in my ability to do anything related to literature.

    This anxiety also affected my other classes. Due to my low self-esteem, I never paid any attention in economics, and I ended up failing that. I failed psychology too, but that was mainly because I didn't do the project we were assigned, primarily due to my complete lack of confidence of being able to do it alone (it was supposed to be a gorup project, but I had no partner).

    Meanwhile, in Calculus, I had the absolute best grades in the whole class and even got an award from the school for my accomplishments there. I also aced Music, Political Science, and Law.

    *Hugs back* I got the last laugh with psychology. I may have failed the class, but I passed the AP test and got college credit for the class. I had to go to summer school for failing economics and English. My god but everyone there was pants-on-head retarded. The classes were so dumbed down that I almost literally paid not a single second of attention to either economics or English. Instead, I was busy teaching myself to speak, read, and write Japanese. I aced both summer school classes without even trying.

    I really shouldn't still be up. I'm going to go to bed. Good night all!
