You know what's so painfully irritating to me?
When people, more specifically kids in my grade, complain about the amazing grades they recieve. We got out class ranks today, and I was suprised and happy with mine, it being 98/234 considering I get terrible grades for the most part. But I was sitting in AP English and all these kids were complaining about their ranks, none of them being over 50! And I was, well, suprised, but mostly angry. It's just like when in class someone gets a 95 and complains and talks of how terribly they did when you're sitting down, staring at your 84, thinking you did well. Now sometimes I'm able to brush this off, but latley it's out of control. I realize everyone is different and has seperate expectations for themselves and their grades, and I UNDERSTAND that some people's parents won't except anything lower than a 90 or something.
But you're all making me feel like shit!
I feel so inferior to some of these people! Because of just the way they say it. There are the kids who get very good grades and don't say anything or complain and that's what I wish all of them would do.
"Oh my god, I got a 590 on my math section of the SAT, I did SO bad! I'm not getting into college!!"
That makes me want to fucking hit you. You have no idea how angry and hopeless you're making me feel! Numerous tutors, hundreds of dollars spent on SAT classes, dozens of practice tests...and what do I get on the math SAT section? a 4 fucking 30. Alright math is my weak point, and when someone around me says "I did SO bad!" And then I tell them my score and thank them for making me feel like shit, they never know what to say. Yeah, that's right, I hope you feel like an idiotic moron for complaining. You may be good at math and recieve a score you don't think is good enough, but don't complain about it because there's people like me who can't break 500 and would KILL to have your grade.
Ugh! It really makes my blood boil.
Going to draw Keira Knightley now, because she's the most beautiful woman on the planet and I haven't sat down and actually tried to draw anything important in a while. Bye.

Ughughughugh. I know what you mean about the ranks - at least you guys have numbers and actual ranks, while Long Beach doesn't even have them anymore, 'cause we have fucking quartiles now.
