Day 150: March 18

Weeeeew! 150 days!!!

AND WEEEW AGAIN BECAUSE MY FRIENDS AND I ARE ALL ON THE SAME BUS FOR CENTRAL !!

Okay, teachers, listen up:

Dear my lovely teachers that I absolutely adore and love (please ignore the sarcastic tone if I do actually like you),

When making dates for these completely irritating and mostly hard tests and assessments, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD CHECK WITH OTHER TEACHERS AND MAYBE NOT MAKE YOUR TESTS ON THE SAME DAY. AND IF THINGS HAPPEN TO BE ON THE SAME DAY AND YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS MAYBE CONSIDER CHANGING IT. ALSO MAYBE LAY OFF FROM YELLING AT US FOR DOING SHIT WHEN THE WHOLE CLASS HAD DONE BADLY. Maybe that's just your teaching. Mmmh, just something to consider. Just a note though, whether you put us next to our friends or someone we hate, we'll talk. Writing our names on the board isn't as scary as your may think. Also, do not say to me "it isn't the bell that dismisses you, it's me". Uh, no. Bell = end of day. End of day = me leaving. So I think that would be the bell dismissing me.

Hugs and kisses (if I don't like you, glares and daggers),
Lauren xoxo
