That’s Just How It Goes

My site is being annoying. Tiffany mentioned the layout being weird, so I did some stuff and edited the navigation. If you have any problems viewing the layout just let me know.
I checked my university results the other day; I got a pass and two credits. 
I don’t know how I got only a pass in that one subject, because I did pretty well in the assignments.
I dislike explaining this shit, but the grades go as such, from highest to lowest: high distinction, distinction, credit, pass, fail.
I think marks are stupid; honestly. If you pass, you pass. I guess it’s nice to see how well you passed. One of my teachers said that at my university they used to only have fail and pass as grades until they realised it was more “encouraging” to have grades that defined how you were doing.
I was doing terrible in high school. I went to a selective high school, so we were seen as being better academically. I didn’t go to the best selective school but apparently, it’s a good thing because you’re seen as “smarter” than other people. I might be underestimating the whole system and my brain (no, honestly, I’m not that smart), because there are actually only about 40 selective schools in the state. I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s that amazing that I went to some “good” school.
Despite that, I wasn’t getting very good grades at all. I was lucky if I got over 60%. 
My dance principal forgot to pass on my exam certificate to my teacher. 
I don’t know when I’ll find out my results; my teacher called her though, and left her a message to post it or something.
My teacher is also leaving. 
She’s great. She’s leaving to do choreography and move onto bigger things. It’s wonderful, but I will miss her tons. It’s funny how people can have such an impact on you.
Tomorrow, the government buses have a strike, so my dad’s driving me to work instead. Hooray. 
I don’t have to put up with annoying people on public transport.
Speaking of annoying people and my regular bus rides recently, I’m annoyed at this woman who catches the same bus as me, on the way to work. (My newer job.)
She boards the bus after me. What pisses the crap out of me is that she nearly always sits next to me. Even when there’s a free seat further up the back, or in front. She just has to choose the empty spot next to me. I like sitting in the same place, generally. But even if I sit even further up the back, or closer to the front, or even on the other side of the bus, she always sits next to me.
It annoys me when she gets on and I sit towards the edge of the seat so no one can sit, and she stands in the aisle looking at seats, about to sit in a seat next to someone, then she turns around and wants to sit next to me. Just fucking fuck off.
One time she fell asleep when I wanted to get off the bus, and I had to get up and shove past her to exit my seat. 
I know people can sit where they want to, and I have the right to move if I don’t like sitting next to her, but sheesh.
I’m not in a good mood. The heat has really bothered me today and yes, excuse me for not returning all comments. I have to go do some chores before my mum gets back at midnight. 
And also on passing! I swear they totally rigged it! 
You did awesome in the assignments, yet you only get pass. Grrrrrr! My results are coming out at 12.01 tonight. I’m so scared! 
And it also sucks about your ballet teacher 
And dying ==
I still like Silent Night. It’s a bit gloomy but it reminds me of that last episode of Lockie Leonard. 
HMPH!
I really have to get a life…==…
ty at times, eh?
I got stressed out with it in the end and decided to just make a simple one.

I know you say you only got a pass, but at least you did. It could’ve been worse. I’ve failed one of my courses and only just passed another one.
It’s insane!
I didn’t do well in school either. I never really got on well at my school, even though it was one of the best in the area and in the top 50 in the country supposedly. I just didn’t enjoy it. The thing was, all of my teachers knew I wasn’t getting on well, yet they didn’t give me the encouragement or support that I needed. I’ve seen one of my friends in the year below me go through the exact same thing and because I’ve been there, I was able to help… if only I’d had someone like that.
I ended up with only 2 A-Levels (most people get 5) and they were pretty low grades. I only just got into uni, and it wasn’t the one I wanted. lol. It was the only one that would accept me with my low grades.
I hate it when people do that on the bus. I know that they need to sit down, but they never seem to go to the empty seats, they always sit next to people like you or me that don’t appreciate being sat on when there’s plenty of empty seats around.
Urgh, some people!!
