178.

WHOOOO! So, yesterday I found out how I did on the English 12 exam. It turns out that it was one of the harder ones and only eight of all the grade 12 students in my school that took it got an A; I was one of the ones that recieved an A; I am very happy.

Also, at the beginning of last semester, my English 12 teacher was teaching us about semi-colons. I already learned this and was bored out of my mind. Anyway, he was talking about how they're only used once in a sentence and then I told him that he was wrong and that I had seen them used multiple times in single sentences. He told me to show him where I saw it; I forgot about it. Yesterday, however, I was reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë and I just happened to stumble across a sentence with four semi-colons in it and I remembered what my teacher had said. Naturally, I found him and showed it to him. Of course I knew that the rules of punctuation have changed since the 1800s, but I still wanted to show him that it can be done. He looked at it and admitted I was right, but also mentioned that it was frowned upon now, which I agreed with. The conversation went on and I mentioned that my goal in life was now to bring back the use of multiple semi-colons in single sentences. He said that he was behind me on this one. I wonder how my Lit teacher will react to this...
