Well, today was great at school. I have finally been aloowed to drop out of Italian.

Why is this so great? Due to a cover teacher I had for Italian for about 4 months, I almost had a nervous breakdown, and bunged off to the school counciller. The cover teacher was nasty to me, and bullied me by humiliating me in front of the entire class, plus "losing" my coursework on purpose. Oh, and he said he couldn't stand the sight of me becuase I had "insulted" him by complaining about his behaviour towards me to the school.

Mow, the teacher he was covering for is back, and I really like her, but due to the severe problems I had with the cover teacher, I just can't learn Italian, and there was no point in continuing.

I tried to get out before, but only now have I been granted leave from the class. I will still go to the lessons, but instead of doing the work for Italian, I will do work for other classes, which is fantastic. That has netted me about 7 hours over the next three weeks for revision during school time. Alos, Sports on a Wednesday ends an hour early, so that's another 3 hours. That's a lot of time to revise during school time.

Silver lining, eh?
