always behind

I was so happy at the start of this school year because I thought I would actually graduate. Now as it turns on, I've fallen behind in every single class except for American Government. I'm trying so hard to catch up, but once I sit in the same spot staring at textbooks for 4 hours straight it gets a tad bit (sarcasm noted) boring. Especially American Literature. They expect me to analyze a poem that literally has two sentences. Probably no more than 15 words. I don't understand how I'm supposed to pick multiple themes from such a short poem. They are also asking that I explain how this challenges the biblical references and yada yada. I don't even read the bible!

As far as Algebra is concerned, I've basically abandoned all hope. I'm steadily working on Spanish 2; It isn't hard. There is just so much work that has to be done when it comes to Spanish. I'm trying to get my grades up so that when I take the midterms in 3 weeks my grades will be high enough that if I do fail the tests, I can still pass the class.

That probably isn't the best way to go about things, but at least I'm getting my work and actually trying to pass the class. I just really want to graduate with my class even if I'm not at the school I wish I could be at.
