so uhh. remember funsies day. (Yes, I am still
Well, I have news.
So appearently before we left for winter break, we had to present our funsies day project. for context, we had to learn about diferent types of European Immigrants in Texas in the 19th century and their impacts, and of course I picked Scandinavians. The options included both Norwegians and Swedes, so I did both for extra credit.
I, being the person who knows the most about Nordic countries in the entire 7th grade, Grinded out the project. I ended taking up 4 hours of research and 3 hours of note taking. (this is the final project

Now, i presented my project. everyone liked it. and I ended up getting a 90. Which is great. Then this one kid, chose Sweden as well. and all he did was write 1 sentence each, he didn't even add pictures and he got a 100.
I was mad since I took a lot of hours of research and got 10 points lower, yet a kid who just wrote 1 sentence got a 100. I went up to that kid, and asked him what the capital of Sweden was.
He Said Berlin
BERLIN-
Anyways. IDK how to feel about this. I told this to an Autistic girl in the 8th grade who had a hyperfixation on Physics, and she wrote a very well-written essay just for her to get an 85. I feel like appearently. same thing is happening to me, since I am an Autistic 7th grade girl who has a hyperfixation on Scandinavian culture/history (mainly 19th century Scandinavian history) and she spent hours and even sacrficed sleep working on her project, just for a kid to beat her.
Now, I am proud of my project and my grade... but I feel unfaired.
