AroAcedragon15 Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:54 PM I've had an insane day. I have first period gym. Awful, I literally almost passed out. I've never had a reaction like that to something before so I don't know what went wrong. School closed early because the water system is having issues so no bathrooms,water fountains,etc. I fell asleep for awhile and when I woke up my mom called me telling me school's closed tomorrow due to the water issue. She also told me liam Payne from one direction died today by "falling" off his balcony in Argentina. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needlemouse Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago I get American History shoved into my face. The same story year after year after year. I'm so tired of hearing it. I know about the revolution. Yeah yeah, I'm aware about the constitution, blah blah blah. I've been taught the same things so many times, that now, sitting in the Credit recovery class, (I have to redo an entire course on history (and biology) just to graduate), none of what I read in the history course (Nor biology course, but less so biology) is sticking in my head. I read it, and it goes out immediately. History is such an unengaging topic, and I've been taught the same thing over and over to the point I don't want to hear about it, I don't have anymore passion about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
