A little of this and a little of that...Seniors win

The wheels on the bus go around and round!..Ugh! I hate the bus and apparently so do the bus drivers. The turn around on bus drivers is weekly and every time a bus driver quits it increases my bus ride home by 45 min... I received my grade for a test in Marine Science. A test I spent all week studying for, gave up my entire Sunday afternoon and enlisted a study partner in an attempt to make sure I get an A. I knew I had it down. If you had asked me any question, I had the right answer. Well, my paper had a great big 'C' across the top corner. What happened to all the preparation? Frustration welled up in me like a cannon ready to blast and on top of this I had my online teacher wanting MORE DETAILS to a question about plants which I have already written three paragraphs. How much can you say about a tree, really. To put it simply, a tree grows, we cut it down, make stuff and burn what's left. Any questions? I asked my family to tell me everything they could about trees. I took what they said and added a lot of adjectives, thru in a few verbs and 'voila'. The answer is now the length of a children's book. The highlight of my day was our Pep Rally. The crowds were screaming so loud I had ringing in my ears. We, seniors, won the Spirit Stick. But wait, is it rigged? The seniors win every year...But that's High School.
