Oh my gosh... so, if any of you have been keeping up with my very short journals, you'll notice I loathe school. Guess what!!! I graduated High School with flying colors, because of my GED. Guess why they said I had such trouble in school? "Well, you see, your daughter was failing most of her classes, but she did well in art and science. She explained to us that she likes to draw and experiments actually gave her something to do... we believe your daughter was bored in her classes." ... I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I WAS BORED!?!?! NO WAY!!!!! Tell me something I didn't know =_=" So, that was slightly surprising, only because they fessed up to being absolutely boring, but then they said this: "Your daughter has exceedingly high skills in math, science, literature, social studies, and her understanding of her academics are above most of her class. We found it odd that she was failing almost all of her classes, so we did some background checking. We think she's bored, because she knew everything they were teaching her. Had we given her the final exams after only a week in each subject, it seems she would have passed, which she just did on the practice test. It's the same thing, but it doesn't count." Gee, thanks, give me the real test and stop wasting my time. They decide to give me the finals on the day a hurricane hit, but they aren't bad enough here to leave, so we went anyways. I busted my hand open because the wind blew a door on my fist, but oh well; I was determined to pass the test! We got there and the kids WOULD NOT SHUT UP. So, I didn't pass... 2nd time, I take the test after my family had just went through some very difficult troubles and I felt like telling my teacher to "F**k off!" (and yes, I did censor that, it wasn't your monitor going kooky) and then my teacher got on me for being late, even though I was the first one in the class. Guess what I told her to do? So, yeah, I was knocked out of the testing session. 3rd and final chance, I passed, so I'm done with that crap. That all happened in late June. Here we are, early September and I'm not going to school, because I graduated. "You deserve a little break, Rache, so we'll sign you up for college in January." oO" little was an understatement... so, yes, I have college coming up and I need to do placement tests. I'm looking for a job and may possibly be hired by a jewelery store, which I'm excited about because all I have to do is talk about the pretty colored stones, where they come from, how much their worth, and how long they last before telling them the price and watching their smiles turn to horror Should be fun! With all of that aside, I got a spark of inspiration last week and I've actually drawn a full-fledged picture, with a background and an out-of-this-world perspective, it's the whole sha-bang. I'm so happy and I'm actually working on the line-art. I actually am going to try having lines that aren't all one size- insanity, I know! ^^" Anyways, I will be back soon with drawings to upload! Let the pretties pour fourth!
