Holy mother effin snap! Reading your comments, I barely realized that most of my fellow users are going to, or are already attending, college! WHOOOAAAA! That'll be me in two years!

Regarding your grades… I would kill for marks as high as yours. I'm not in your situation, so I'm not qualified to say anything, other than that your dad is pretty strick and that he should loosen up a little. My parents also hold the same mentality, though they don't mind me getting B's. Never a C, though. Oh no, they'll flip out. A D or an F, and I might as well jump in front of a train. Fortunately, I've never received a grade below a C. If it is absolutely imperative you achieve the envied A, then all I can say is good luck on your final. It should be enough to bump a B+ to an A-.

My grades haven't been the greatest. So far, I've had 2 C's thoughout my high school career, much to the disappointment of said parents, and it's about to be 3 by the end of this school year, further adding to their disappointment. AGH. Stressful crap like this makes me want to punch a cactus. For me, these marks are absolutely atrocious. This is very unlike me compared to my middle school years, and that is something I desperately need to change. I applied for the International Baccalaureate program my school offers, and I really, really, want to be accepted. As stupid as it sounds, I think I can actually strive in this program. This will either be the dumbest, most harmful thing I've ever done in my life, or my salvation. If I am accepted, then I'll probably be spending a good chunk of my summer completing the summer break assignments. So that should be fun.

I took Spanish during middle school as an elective, and I flunked it, mainly because I was never really interested. I've been taking French, a language that slightly interests me, since freshman year, and in a 2-second self evaluation, I can confidently say that I was sent from Hell to torment French teachers. But I'm still passing with a B, so take this Ed and shove it. In regards to learning our mother tongue…I've acquired so much simply by watching Filipino shows, such as their soap operas, hereby known as teleseryes. If you do wish to continue learning more Tagalog, I would reccommend watching ABS-CBN, GMA, or whatever you subscribed to, talking to you parents in Tagalog, and constantly asking your parents to translate words or phrases that you are unsure of as you watch teleseryes.

Weight loss won't be easy. To you and any others who wish to lose their weight, you can do it. We're all gonna make it.
