Homework, Homework, and Devoirs :)

     Just so you all know, devoirs is homework in french. Homework! That is all that goes on lately these days...I know I was asking for it by trying for the Honors, but it is supposed to all be worth it in the end. Is it? Will it? Friends if mine think the whole honors thing is stupid, her reasoning is "what if a student wants to be in honors, but they aren't good at testing?"  Doesn't that mean that they aren't fit for honors persay? Plus, you need to write an essay of sorts to get into honors, doesn't that mean that they can get in, but they just have to work harder? I'm not going to lie, seventh grade honors was really no different than the normal classes. But it gradually got harder, and people think it is the exact same thing...but it isn't. How come people look at you like they think that you think that you are better than they are? How come they can't see me sitting at my counter at home TRYING to find a way to figure Geography out, or trying to figure a book, or an essay our for English? How come? How come they don't see the countless hours I try to put into my projects? I don't really know what I'm saying. I don't mind my homework. I embrace it. It makes me feel good about myself (which sounds really strange) but it gives me a challenge, and I look forward to seeing my score on something that I worked my butt off to get done. It just bothers me that one of my friends thinks that I can be stuck up and mighty because I'm in the honors classes...

                That's it! Love you all!! :)
