• My Hopes

  A teacher had the unfortunately annoying habit of getting my hopes up, again.

  I wanted to take Physics Honors next year, but my counselor said, "I don't think so." and was adamant.  She said, "Only Juniors and Seniors can take it--no exceptions!"  And the head counselor just yelled at me.  The prerequisite is Advanced Algebra, and I'm going to take that next year (same time as Physics Honors) anyway.

  The work load is light in that class.  My brother and his friend do the homework in the car (and finish).  They say an eighth grader (with the knowledge of what sine, cosine, and tangents are) could pass the class.

  So my brother talked to the teacher for me.  And I met with her.  She said that I could take the class as long as my math and science is good, currently.  She said she'd talk to my teachers and counselor.

  Well, I went back to her today, and she told me that though my teachers say I'm an excellent (I'm cocky) student (and analytical, according to my Geometry teacher) I can't take it because she thinks I don't have enough experience with solving the equations.

  What.

  According to my brother, all you do is plug in the numbers in the equation she gives you and solve it as if you were taking Algebra I.

  She went on to say that since my brother's taking it now, as a senior, it'd be pretty hard for me to take it as a sophomore.  What, again.  It's not as if my senior brother is failing.

  Thanks a lot, Ms. Physics Teacher.

  P.S. I auditioned for the Chamber Winds again.  My hopes are down, this time.
