So, um, yeah
Sep. 25th, 2001 12:58 pmToday wasn't too great. Got back my first english assignment, and apparently I've been graded down for using the word "defenestration". The only note on this particular grading choice was the single word "diction". Yep, I guess I need to choose my words more carefully so I don't accidentally refer to something going through a window as a defenestration. </sarcasm>
Then on the way home, mom pulled out in front of another car twice, ran a yellow light, and very nearly pulled out in front of a red light, stopping only when I pointed out that that might be a bad thing. For the rest of the ride, every time she stopped at a yellow or red light, she pulled out the ol' "look, see? I'm stopping, is that GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?" routine. Sorry, mom, guess I just have a problem with ALMOST GETTING KILLED.
Now I have a headache. And lots of homework. And a dangerously low grade in English (dammit, a mid B is dangerous when you're a scholarship brat, says I!).
So, um, yeah. Exactly.
