Sometime near the end of last semester, my school took the PSAT to give juniors and sophomores practice, and to give freshmen something to do.
I got my scores back, and my score was 190/240. Is that good? Not bad, at least, right? It seems my critical reading is higher than 99% of sophomores, my writing skills are higher than 97% of them, but my math is only higher than 86%.
In a little box, it showed a comparison to college-bound juniors, and it said 93. It means I'm doing better than 93% of the nation's juniors, right?
Of course, my mother said I need to be in the top 5% at least and my father, upon seeing my math score, gave me this... face... and this weird... shouty-yelly-grunt sound. And he shouted at me to work harder on my math. Hell, I'm surprised I did that well, damnit!
And he didn't even care about how well I did on the other parts. Damn, I get nothing but criticism from him. It makes me sad. But I did better than I thought, so I guess it's fine. (It's probably not, actually, but whatever)

Before I start on a rant, I'll go to something else...
In French, Madame changed our seats so in the 4-person group I'm in now, I know two of them by name, and I've spoken to one of those two maybe twice last semester. Oh, joy. I liked my old seat. I was there for a year and a half. But she moved me. Je suis triste.
Anyway, we watched a movie called "Le Chateau de ma Mere" or My Mother's Castle.
It was about a boy whose family went to their house in the country to see the hills every holiday, but then the clever mother had them go every weekend. She's so very sly. I like her.
Anyway, by the hills, the main character, a boy named Marcel, has a friend named Lili who lives in Les Bellons and is a bit older than him. Lili is a boy, by the way, just to put that out there. Anyway, they put in a few scenes of them running around and having fun together. At this, I immediately thought, YAOI!!
But then he meets this girl named Isabelle and she totally ruined the yaoi vibe between the two. It made me resent her a little it.
It was still an enjoyable movie, though we didn't get to finish it.
