It's that time of the year again...

Dearest Darling Readers,
Yes, it's June, which means, for many of you, it's time for final exams.








Which completely suck if you go to my school.



We take one little 2-hour test and it counts for 20% of our grade for the entire semester! Does this make any sense at all? We bust our butts all semester working on projects and papers that are 500 times as time-consuming as finals are and yet they count for less? I'm not saying that our finals are ridiculously hard (unless you're in my Spanish class), I'm just saying that they don't make any sense.
I just finished a huge English project where I had to write almost 50 pages about an author. It had many components. One was a 25-40 page journal which counted for 10% of the grade. Another part was a 2-page emulation piece or character story, which counted for 20%. Do you see what I'm trying to say? Teachers seem to have no concept of how much certain assignments should be worth!
I just took a chemistry test on redox reactions where I didn't answer 1/3 of the questions and I still got an A! I'm not complaining that I got an A, I'm just wondering how it was even possible! My teachers' grading systems are corrupt. Just like the NFL.
