Merry Elijah Wood's birthday! Our favourite hobbity ring barrel turns two-and-twenty today. May he always leave the care of his hair in the hands of capable professional hair stylists [i.e., no more buzz cuts, plz!], shave frequently [yeah, I'm not a big fan of his facial hair either however, I have no complaints about his fashion sense! ;)], and spend lots of time with Dom! In honour of his birthday, y'all should visit Always & Forever, which I'd like you all to know is at the top of KT's favourites folder. :D You rock, KT.
Today we did absolutely nothing in school [with the exception of chemistry - Mr Palmer started the next chapter with 5 minutes left in the period 9_9], which was quite nice. And I got my midterm grades back in all of my classes except German.
English - 100. When I walked into class he told me I had gotten the first hundred ever on his test. xD Squee! Although it wasn't really a perfect score, because I had gotten seven wrong on the multiple choice [out of a hundred] and four out of six on the reading comprehension. I think the multiple choice problems were each worth half a point and the reading comp. was counted as extra credit, so that's how I got a 100. Full points on both of my essays, too. :D
W. civ - 89. Already knew this because checked the grade posted on the door. 48/60 on first essay, 32/40 on second essay, 92/100 on mult. choice. Plus five extra credit points from the Jeopardy game is 177/200 or 89%. Weak, but acceptable.
Latin - 100. "Flawless! How do you do it?" I <3 Mr Kummer. Plus 14/16 on the first page of extra credit and 15/15 on the second page. Latin is so r0x0r.
Chem - 96.2. That's the official grade, anyway. Without the ten point curve it would be 125/140, or an 89. However, I had four problems marked wrong which weren't really wrong, so I should have gotten a 129/140, or a 92. But he said if he gave us the points back for the problems which were graded wrong, he'd take away the curve, so I'm content with my 96.2.
Math - 96. He only had thirty questions on his test, compared to the 100+ questions on all the other major subject tests. So a 96 means one multiple choice question wrong and two points off for an open-ended problem. Not a 100, but not bad at all. =)
I'm v. v. v. pleased with my scores. Honestly wasn't expecting to do this well. <midterms3

Posted by: Colin on 28.01.03 17:58God, I am so envious. I would love for all of you overachievers to have my teachers, if only for a day. EVERYBODY definitely failed the Chem final.
*sulk*
I'm still taking finals and I'm grumpy. Don't take it personally.
Posted by: Nina on 28.01.03 19:15Erg. Not that I would really know my grades, because my teachers NEVER EVER tell us. You are so well-informed; I wish I had that advantage.
Posted by: Nina on 28.01.03 19:18Lucky. You're teachers aren't insane.
