Improvement

A huge amount of stress has been lifted.  All of my grades are where they should be, at last, and should be good for the end of the quarter as long as I don't do poorly from here on out.  NaNo is over and I managed to finish with 50,024 words. The choir director asked me to be in the school's musical pit again this year, and I am very excited for that.  Really the only thing that is bothering me right now is a muscle I pulled in the upper back of my leg.

It's getting to be the end of the semester/term and that means finals are coming up. I am a bit nervous for nearly everyone of my finals.  Trigonometry and Psychology should be okay, but I will have to study a bit for those.  In Orchestra we have a playing final, and the party is challenging, but practicing will help a lot.

The subject I am worried for most is American Lit.  I did horribly on the quarter final, and now our teacher is gone for the rest of our class.  At the beginning of the year he found out (and he told us right away) that his wife had a brain tumor.  She started Chemotherapy a while back.  The stress that added to his life made him feel like he was not up for teaching, which I think is completely understandable.  He might be back for next semester's class, but he had meant to retire at the end of the year anyway.

From the looks of our blog it looks like a lot of you are pretty busy with school and other work.  I hope things will get better for you.
