No. I got an awesome grade 4 a SS test that people said was really hard! It kind of just depends on what you remember. Like you study as long as you want, u r not going 2 necessarily get a good grade. You know what I mean?

I agree! One time I studied for like 2 hours for a math test and got a terrible grade, but another time I barely studied and got a B (which is a good math grade for me because I’m terrible at math).

Hey, glad you're back. And NO! I'm very easily disturbed (I've been described as having a tender heart). Frankly, just hearing something disturbing makes me not sleep. Pretty crazy but it's true.

YES! I read this book called Darkroom, and I got so scared of ghosts. Ooooopp

Really? Yeah, my sister and my dad tease me all the time about it 🤣

techfashion0315 techfashion0315

LOL! That's my sister to me! Once, their was this scary ad that was on TV and I didn't look but my sister did and she was telling me all the details about it! I was like "Stop! I didn't look for a reason!" 😂🤣

Horror is a hit-or-miss genre for me. Many horror books/movies are original and scary, but others are cliché.
