【Aiden in English】
So the third marking period of the 8th grade is over. Or was. I don’t even really know or care. The only reason that’s in the draft is because of English, in which we finally are beginning to pay attention to key grammar points. Ironically, the very point of English is to be simplified as an utter pile of mesh. Like such. What even is a pile of mesh?
Physical Science has gotten easier. So much so that the entire subject has become nearly a stroll through the par. Actually, the concepts are fun, as well as the curriculum, but I really do think that a formula sheet and a good calculator with a significant figure setting can easily blast you ahead of the rest of the pack. Besides, the teacher never strictly states the students have to follow a set path to solving, so I somewhat go along and finish them with as much efficiency as possible.
Algebra II, however, has become difficult. By that I mean I have to be extremely careful about the trivial reasoning of all works in the cumulative review. Additionally, I am responsible for not only wrapping up my homework but turning it in on time under any circumstances.
I am very disappointed.
Even so, I have strong faith in being good at math (possibly overestimating), as the only reason for my downfall, other than the obvious fact of not acing every test, was the reviews handed out by the teacher, in which they absolutely killed my average. But I am not about to be discouraged by a few bad marks, as I always bounce back.
Something tells me there will be a point where I can’t.
But until then, it’s smooth cruising for me. Except in health class. The entire period is simply terrible. And I don’t mean the curriculum in cancer and heart diseases, which by the way, is quite the ride itself. The very class is obnoxious to the point of idiocy, to such a degree that it felt contagious. Catch the pun? Wow, another pun. Guess you can say I’m PUN-ishing.
In Health, I made it through with only in total answering three items wrong, including extra credit, as the teacher made the tests so easy that there were answers within questions. Sometimes, one did not need to think about a problem, rather than read the next one.
I believe that way of life is the one I should go to. Maybe stop staring at the issue and look elsewhere for help. Although I may be too late for help on my math perfection, which by the way does not count towards my GPA yet, life offers many answers hiding in plain sight.
【红霞译文】
初中三年级第三学制到此结束，亦即一去不返，我甚至还没真正意识到或者多想片刻，之所以这么说恐怕得归咎于英语课，我们方才开始学习语法要素。
莫非天大的笑话，英语权可简化成胡编乱造，仅此而已，甚至有过之而无不及？
物理学比较容易，整个学习过程循序渐进，实际上其字义概念有趣，课程内容不错，但在我看来熟知公式表及计算器各项运行功能有助于学好这门功课，何况老师从不强求学生按部就班解答问题，我得以尽可能少花精力搞定作业。
然而高级代数越来越麻烦，我指的是必须小心对待综合复习题各个繁琐推算步骤。除此而外，我不仅要如期完成家庭作业，而且还要保证在任何情况下按时上交家庭作业。 我甚感遗憾。
即便如此，我仍然坚信自己在本科确有优势（可能过于自负），撇开考试答题失误，唯一让我丢分的地方就是老师发放的练习题，而且绝对影响到学制成绩，不过我并未因为这些扣分而萎靡不振，毕竟本人总能迎头赶上。 直觉告诉我迟早会遇到自己力不从心的时候。
但在其到来之前，我始终一帆风顺，健康课当属特例，本学制简直糟蹋透顶，我并不在说普及癌症与心脏病知识有啥不妥，相反却极其有用，只是课堂上大家谈论的话题相当晦气，人人胡诌八扯像得了传染病似的，悟出双关成分了吗？哇塞，又一个双关语，你肯定要说我话里有话。
健康课上我顺利过关，全部考试连同附加题在内仅答错三道，老师简直太便宜我们了，答案隐含在问题当中，有时学生犯不着多想，只要顺藤摸瓜就成。 我相信生活方式源于个人处世态度，也许应停止盯着问题不放，试图从其它方面寻求解决办法。虽然我可能来不及亡羊补牢达到数学满分，但尚不至于影响到总评成绩，再说人生有很多道路可走，“天涯何处无芳草”。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2015: Descriptive Poetry─Black(叙事诗─黑色) 2013: Baltra & Daphine Islands, Ecuador(厄瓜多尔激情岛和美岛)
