Bad Sophomore Year Grades?

<p>I'm a sophomore right now, and I'm kind of in a slump. I have around an 82-85 in math (H), 88 in English (H), 85 in accounting (H), and an 89 in chem (H). I'm confident I can pull up chem, hopefully, and in my English class, I have the 4th highest average so far (aka no chance there).
What I'm really worried about is my math and accounting classes. </p>

<p>Accounting is an elective obviously, and it's kind of cause I stopped paying attention for a while... Though I picked up the slack, and am excelling in the class. But still, this marking period, I'd be lucky to pull off an 88. </p>

<p>Math is just too uninteresting for me. I loved Algebra I, but Algebra II is frankly, the most inane and useless math ever for me. To top it off, my math teacher's not really the most understanding person, and considers an 85 good. To top it off, she doesn't let us use calculators, and makes the tests especially difficult to really 'test' us. I'd need a miracle to get my grade up to an 88 even. I have a good teacher, but she ain't helping at all. </p>

<p>What's the prognosis? I'm not sure how my 3rd and 4th marking period (quarters) are going to work out, and I fear it's going to severely dent my transcript for future college stuff. Anyone have any advice? Words of wisdom? Words of sympathy?</p>
