A Lot of
A Lot of Stuff From My Life Right Now
In general, I have a boring life. But I do have a few updates because I haven't been posting much.
~School~
-Yes, you are all probably sick of hearing me talking about how terrible school is, but I need to rant. In reading, we are readin' Wonder because I don't know why. We have some "vocab" words that we had to place into parts of speech. It is easy, boring work, and it wouldn't have been bad. Except for one thing. Three of the words were pettiness and catastrophe and splay. Apparently, pettiness, splay, and catastrophe are adjectives. It annoyed me that my teaher got it wrong, but it got worse. I raise my hand, mention her mistake, and she humiliates me in front of the entire class. Seriously? Uncool.
-I am going to a new school next year, and I'm about to die from nerves/excitement. It's like being in a writing contest, and knowing you won in the top 5, but you don't know the exact place. Excited, but also nervous. Unfortuanaly, my college fund is paying for this schoool. Goodbye college if not for scholarship.
-I'm about to have a mental breakdown. From doing basic math all year (no trig, calculus, not even linear equations) to watching videos and taking notes in SS, I'm about to have a mental breakdown. Going to school feels like medieval torture. Urg.
-Finally, the last day of school is on Friday. Yes.
~Night Time~
-I am having problems with bedtime. I want to stay up and write and read and stuff, but my mum wants me asleep by 10:30. Urg.
~Other~
I need to write more later. Rant below.

Seriously? Splay, pettiness, and catastrophe are adjectives???
Splay is a verb. Splayed is an adjective.
Pettiness is a noun. Petty is an adjective.
Catastrophe is a noun. Catastrophic is an adjective.
If your teacher doesn't know that, she shouldn't be telling people otherwise.

I know! That's exactly what I said, but she just said that I was wrong and it "depended on where you use them." Oy vey.

Your teacher is wrong. For example, you could say, "I hate the pettiness of it all." Someone could misinterperate that as using the word as an adjective, but actually you are saying "The pettiness of it," which means "It's pettiness."
I'm pretty good at trying to prove that kind of stuff.
You know, even though I probably have never come across the teacher you speak of and will never know her, I'm mad at her.
Yeesh, calm down, self.

I know exactly what you mean about going to a new school, I feel the same way.I've also been homeschooled my whole life,so it will be a HUGE change for me.As for money, I don't really have a college fund so the money is what we scrape out of other funds, the same will go for my college probably.
