Today, I don't think that I need to sleep. I have three tests tomorrow, though one of them is a so-called quiz. But even though it's only said to be a quiz, on that subject, I'm having a really low grade, which didn't happen in the previous quarters. This isn't a good sign, because I know that I've been slacking off a bit, but I didn't know that it would cause such a big difference. So now, every single small quiz matters a lot to me and I really want to pull up my grades. The other two are tests, so obviously they matter a lot and I really can't afford to have a low score on any test right now. Another thing that is making me a bit annoyed is the poetry contest today. I didn't care much about it before, but today, after really competing against others, I wanted to win. After knowing that I lost to Elvis, I felt a feeling of depression come up, but I had to quickly hide it and congrats him. Afterwards, when I think about it, I really felt that it wasn't really fair. No offense to the ESL people, but I think that they should compete among themselves, so that the level is about the same and the judges won't think about the amount of effort spent into each poem and the knowledge that each student has.
