Sorry Suffca, I just wanted to be mean to you.

In reality I'm rubbish with names and have the memory of a Lava Lamp so I couldn't remember who posted this thread so I guessed and I guess I was kinda right because both your names start with "S" but whatever.

*Deep Breath*

If you got a decent grade the first time then what's the problem? At least you didn't fail the original exam, stop worrying about it and enjoy your summer. There's nothing that can be done about it now anyway.

Because everyone knows that posting on the forums about what you need to do instead of just doing it is the best course of action!

Seti: If you got a decent grade the first go around, you'll be fine. I missed my final for my Approach to Literature class. The final was going to replace my lowest exam grade (80 out of 100) but I totally missed the final and still got a B in the course, so don't fret about it.

I was about to relax, but I had to call my mom first. I'm grounded(in my house, that means no video games) for the first week of my summer vacation. It's not bad enough that I feel bad, but I have to be grounded. I should never have requested to retake that regents. It was my choice. My mom didn't tell me to do anything, but I walked into my guidance counselor's office and requested to retake the test, all by myself. Even after telling my mom that I can still get my advanced regents diploma, she doesn't care. Happy summer(just how to end a miserable school year and month of tests, preparing for tests, and working hard enough to not have much gaming time just so I could look forward to this day). I'm not too happy, right now. In other news, this is the first time I've been grounded in over a year, and it is on my first day of summer vacation. :celebrate: Just ten minutes earlier, and, assuming my ride was here, I could have made it to my regents on time.

Well thats just Tee Hee worthy


High five to both you and your mom. Thats really more initiative than I had.

Well, other than signing up for the wrong English AP test then failing said test. Yeah...

So...she grounded you for missing something you didn't actually need to do? Why?

Some parents are like that. I guess she figured if he had the motivation to sign up for the optional test, he should have the motivation to actually take it. I understand where she's coming from.

I think grounding is just silly, though. Don't ground the kid. Make them be more productive. Have them help with yard work, do dishes, etc. Or maybe have them learn a new skill. Teach them how to change the oil in the car, spark an interest in a musical instrument, etc. Grounding is forcing the kid to either sit around and do nothing or hope they get creative and start to do something on their own.

If I buy a projector and plug it into your ear can I watch your mind?

By the way, if you get banned from the internet also, this place will still be here in a week.

I don't know, but she won't change her mind.

I just got a call from my guidance counselor. She said that since I already took the test and got a satisfactory grade, it's not big deal. If I want, I can just retake it in August, January, or even June of next year, and they're free to take as many times as I want, yet I'm grounded. What do I do now, stare at the Morrowind icon on this computer's desktop wondering what could have been if I didn't decide to ask to retake the test? Stomp my feet, slam my door, and ignore my mom for a week, while sulking? Give her a speech explaining that it's my own business(I know she's my mom and I know that she legally owns me, but this "problem" is my own that stemmed from my own decision and has no actual effect on me at all)? Play video games when my mom isn't here(don't normally ignore what she says, but I've been looking forward to this day, especially for the past month, and I want to play my video games already, but I hate doing so secretly)...

Ahh, it must be the monthly "Let's [censored] about Seti's mum's parenting" time again. Last time it was the babysitter/bully blocking teh interwebz, now this >_<

We don't need one of those. I got my answer. I'm not in trouble(with the school). Please lock this.

Locked per OP request.
