If I could tell the world just one thing, it would be that we are all okay; and not to worry cuz worry is wasteful and useless in times like these. Poverty stole your golden shoes, but it did not steal your laughter; And heartache came to visit me but I knew it wasnt ever after.. In the end, only kindness matters

If you could see me right now..omg! I look like I just won the freaking lottery!!!! Im smiling ear to ear, clapping my hands (in between typing) and shreaking with joy.
I PASSED MY SPANISH FINAL!
I had a D- first guarter
I had a F second quarter
equalling out to a solid F for semester
so, I made up a test that I was missing, and I got 77% on it. It brought my grade up to a D+
Then, I calculated my score for if I got a 70% on the final, and I would still have a D- but I would pass the semester. This doesnt mean that my mom wouldnt shit a brick when she saw my report card, but it would mean that I wouldnt have to retake the class next year. It also wouldnt mean that my mom wouldnt be taking my car away and cutting the hours she lets me work..
So pretty much I walked into 4th period today freaking the fuck out about this final. Pretty much I needed to get higher than 71% to get credit for this semester. Considering that I have failed every single test since the first of the school year, I didnt have much hope. Reality really set in when I took almost the full 2 hours to finish a 70 question final, and the girl sitting next to me fell asleep and when she woke up, I was at the same place she was (question 45, after an HOUR!). So I rushed through the last 25 questions and stood up to turn in the test. I felt a thousand eyes boring through me, so I looked around and EVERYBODY had already finished their tests and were waiting for me to finish so that they could talk. Blushing, I sank back into my desk and got ready for my presentation that was 30% of my grade. I got 27/30 on the presentation and left class SHAKING. I KNEW I had failed. So I came home from my SAT prep class, (where there is a HOTT ASS SMART GUY WITH A NICE CAR!) and checked my grade on the Spanish website just for the hell of it. I jumped OUT of my seat when I saw D+ and 75. I started screaming and my mom and Dan were sitting on the couch watching me, Dumbfounded. So I saved my ass by spilling the beans before the report card showed up. I said
OMG I PASSED SPANISH!!! and my mom was like
"What?? Is that suprising?" and I was like
"I GOT SEVENTY FIVE ON THE FINAL! I HAVE A D+!!!!" she, unamused, said
THAT IS NOT PASSING ON MY STANDARDS!! and I go
"ITS PASSING ON THE GRADE BOOK STANDARDS!!! YAYYYYYY!" and then Dan was like
Gooood Job!! and my mom slapped him in the arm and said dont stand up for me. So I explained the horrible situation in that class (hehe) and how I am incapable of keeping up, so my mom DROPPED the subject! Literally, she doesnt even care, she just asked me what my other grades are to make sure its not like a whole report card trend or something.

I passed Spanish, I still have my car, I still have my job, and most importantly I still have my head!! Omg what an amazing night!

HILLARY!
