Summer yet?

Filed under As It Happened

I guess it’s officially summer now. Is it officially summer? I don’t know the exact date. But it’s officially summer break. So, same thing. I don’t really feel like it’s summer break yet, though. Maybe I will once I get my exam grades back. I’m really nervous. I really hope I didn’t fail miserably on the physics and history exams. (Knock on wood!) I thought that both exams were pretty hard. Even the history exam! And pretty much everybody thinks I’m retarded now that I said the exam was hard. Maybe it wasn’t hard, but since it was so easy, I felt like it was trying to trick me. Except I don’t know.

The first essay I wrote for the history exam was really horrible. At least I thought so. We were supposed to write about like…. big movements in the country’s history. I wrote about the civil rights movement and the abolitionist movement. I basically wrote about how African Americans have had a sucky time in this country since the beginning of its history. I wrote about Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King Jr. How obvious is that? A kid in kindergarden knows that sort of stuff. I talked to Mary later in the day and she said that she wrote exactly the same thing. She wrote the same thing for her other essay, too. Seriously, it’s like telepathy-cheating over here!

The physics exam was definitely harder. And longer. And really, really long and hard. And all that stuff. I thought that it might be kind of easy, but nope. It wasn’t. I was there for like two hours and forty-five minutes. And I was really unsure of most of my answers. I am basically praying to God Almighty Jesus Lord Alpha and Omega Zeus Poseidon Whatever right now that I won’t fail the exam. I don’t want to go to summer school. Or repeat the class next year. That would suck so much. Physics was too hard. It’s really hot out right now.
