distressed

Had a stomach thing yesterday and missed school. Went to school today but came down with dizzyness third period that turned out to be a fever. Fell on floor once (at home) and it took me fifteen minutes to get up. AWFUL. But vaguely funny, and I'm pretty sure I'll laugh about it when my head decides to reattach itself to my neck. But it sure is pretty up here.

Am missing half of my assignments in gov/econ, but still managed to pull off a 'C' (yay for high test weight). And a deal was worked out to bring my failing english grade to a 'D'. The latter was particularly striking for me. I've known for a while that I was perhaps carrying this slacker thing a bit too far, but this, realizing that this is the second time a teacher has brought up a failing grade for me just on the merit that I'm 'much too smart for grades like this'...it sent me reeling. And I'm hit with the feeling of taking advantage of teachers who do a hell of a lot for me. It is horrifying that I could let myself become this scummy. What's worse than having people believe in you and then failing them? Point: I'm changing. And, my goodness, for real this time.

Am going to do NaNoWriMo again this year, trying not to get bored with my story after seven days again. I have nothing but a girl. She might just be the only character. Very much in contrast to last year's work. I find it fascinating how in the last year I've moved from almost solely male MCs to predominantly female ones now.
