Stressful GCSEs

All this latin has put me in a bad mood.
Ok, admittedly it's not just the Latin. I'm feeling a little under appreciated at the moment in my science classes. This year, I've been working at a pretty high standard in science, and I've even been helping a friend of mine understand some of the work, I ask good questions, and give good answers. I'm an A/A* student in my chemistry classes, and have been getting nothing but good grades, so you'd think that the teacher in question would have the good manners to remember my name. You'd also be wrong. And to top it off, I took a look at my interim report and noticed a few things that rang alarm bells. First and foremost - current grade: B. I've got As and A*s in the most of the tests I've been given. I do not feel that I deserve a B. In the effort grades section (What a load of rubbish!) I got "good" for homework, "good" for classwork, "excellent" for behaviour and "good" for organisation. Those are good enough grades, but for a start, I should be "poor" for homework, "excellent" for classwork, and "poor" for organisation.
I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for it, but from what I can tell, I'm just being ignored.

Now onto Latin. I used to be good at latin. I'm fairly good at translation - I'd be doing pretty well right now if set text wasn't part of the course. I can't seem to remember any of it. I can spend 3 hours writing it out onto paper, or 2 hours reciting it. I've even tried cramming. Nothing works. Hopefully 5 hours in front of a computer screen typing out the set text numerous times then deleting it to only leave one ought to work. If not, I'm going to tell my teacher exactly what I've tried, and even have proof that I've spent ages learning it, so my friends can back me up said teacher implies that I've not done anything to learn it.

And Maths. I can't do it. I'm not good enough anymore. Everyone seems to understand all this coursework, and it's so confusing. My friends are so amazing, and I feel awkward sitting in the same class as them. I'm not innumerate, I just can't seem to get anything right in maths at the moment. Doesn't help that I tried so hard in my maths exams and ended up getting rubbish results. What am I doing wrong? I'm listening and taking notes in class. I'm doing my homework.

Don't even get me started on English. The language part is fine, but it's actually getting the work in. And I have one more piece of coursework to do, and it's so difficult to sort out, cause I keep getting distracted and losing my notes, and forgetting what I'm about to talk about.

I'll be lucky to get any decent grades in my subjects at the moment.


Sorry about that, just had to get that off my chest. :-)
