My life is kinda like a picture that was once complete; with vibrant colours interwoven throughout, but was left out in the rain. Now, the picture is faded and running, with some bits completely washed away altogether. It's is now up to me to repaint the picture, with the original vibrant colours, to make it complete again.
Ah, I suck at metaphors, I know. [Wow, really positive thinking Caitlin! *slaps self*]
I've also noticed that I'm starting to think differently, more positively lately, and my moods are not so horrid. [I think that that above comment will beg to differ, but oh well. XD. I was just playin']
I'm still not 100%, but I'm finally starting to manage. And that is an incredibly liberating feeling.

You get your report card mailed to you? That's cool. And your lucky. I still got 3 weeks off school.


I don't feel like studying, though.
But when asked about any of the topics I can usually just ramble about it.
I really liked social class this year. Oftentimes my teacher would ramble off on something that SEEMED unrelated and it would turn into a huge class discussion, but still, it all led back to economics. I like these talking classes. I remember things way better this way, and thus, I don't really have any need to study.
I'll just review over some specifics on Sunday night.
I'm awesome. :D

We get our report cards mailed too. And High School is overrated. Don't worry about it.

Good for you, I have never studied for a test in my life and I'm doing just fine.

My "studying" usually consists of reading over the material the night before. My classmates hate me because I'm one of the top students and rarely do jack sh*t.
For some reason I'm thinking of finals differently. e_e I only studied the night before for midterms, excluding Hebrew because my Hebrew teacher is a f*cking retard and thinks her subject is ever so important (four classes left foreveeeer).
But yeah, I'm doing pretty fine myself, too.
Another random fact for me: I'm the ONLY person in my grade who has, on all eight report cards thus far, with one to go, gotten all honours with distinction in BOTH Alberta and Judaic curriculums. That means over a 90% average in both curriculums for all of grade seven, all of grade eight, and two out of three periods of grade nine.
I hope I make it the whole way through. :D
Also the past two years I've won the highest Alberta curriculum, although last year I tied. But there's money riding on it this year, for first AND second place. I'm way guaranteed money. ^__^

XD I felt happy while reading that... not sure why.
*Sigh* Guess I better talk about my schoolwork and stuff.
Like Fiddy, I've never prepared for a test. Instead I just try and remember everything I can from what I was told in class instead.
In Maths, I've finished top in the end of year tests every time since... at least year 3. (Probably even longer.) In year 8 I tied, but I missed one of the tests, so if I would have took that, I would have finished top by probably 30 points. (There were 30 marks in the test, and it was the mental arithmatic. And I'm best at that.)
People in our school are way too f*cking competitive. XD
Again with homework? Until the start of this year, I hadn't done a single peice that I can remember. The reason I started doing it this year is because it was coursework, and the only real time you get to do it is while you're at home. And no coursework = no scores = no qualifications = no job = sad James. (Yeah England basically works like that... shite isn't it?)
My Science is good, basically because I actually LIKE doing stuff like that. I think I was top in my Science tests last year before it was split into Chemistry, Physics and Biology.
RFAM: I hate the way some people abuse the HTML codes. Sure, I use the odd ':lol:' but that's because there's no smiley to show that you're laughing. By abusing it, I mean posting all of their posts in a colour, or lavishing it with those stupid f*cking emoticons.
*Feels a bitch post coming up*
I'll continue this in the pissy thread. =)

I'm quoting a bunch of very long posts.
Someone quote what I write.

RFAMS: My school had a fire on Friday. The boiler room caught fire for a few minutes. We had to stand outside in the rain for almost an hour before they let us back in.

The wasps were getting in through little holes in the wall. So I filled the holes up with some Polyfilla and the wasps should all die soon. Eew wasp corpses will still be in the wall.
Oh well, it's easier filling up the holes than getting a new wall.
I hate wasps.

Of course, darling. ^_^ How about I give you a reference of the book? That way, it'll be easier for you to find in the library, book store or whatever. *runs downstairs to retrieve book*
Okay, here we go...
Tanner, Susan- Ball, Jillian. 1989. "Beating The Blues: A Self-Help Approach To Overcoming Depression." Doubleday Publishers. Australia.
Glad to see that you're taking the first step to overcoming your depression, Nikki. I just hope that I've sent a positive wave through all the depressed people on here that have read my post; that's partly what I wanted to achieve. I like helping people. ^_^
