Today I was sick for half a day. Everywhere people are getting sick. Two hours ago I was staying home from school and was happy. Now I got my progress report, I have an upset stomach because I’m not doing so good in my main subjects Spanish and math. I got a bad test grade in both of those subjects. I have to really start studying Spanish more because I’m having a hard time in that. I saw somebody else’s progress report and that really made my stomach turn, they were getting all F’s. My parents would shoot me if I got one F. I can’t wait till Christmas and by then I hope my grades will be up so I can have a happy Christmas. My dad is going to kill me about my Spanish grade because he said the only subjects I’m concerned about are math and Spanish and those are the subjects I’m doing bad in. I hope my parents aren’t too mad.
