Hello, it's Sunday! I found that I had some time since I just finished, except for editing, my music project!! Finally! I got pretty frustrated on some parts but now it's finally over. Speaking of something that is over: the Athletic Banquet.
I went with one of my okay/good friends. The whole night was okay. The venue was for weddings, so I admired that. The food was served pretty quickly and was average. There was salad, chicken, meat balls, tortellini with alfredo sauce, bread, potatos and dry vegetables. ._.
After that, it took another 3 hours to announce the awards. And no, I did not get an award DDD; But what do you expect? I joined 1 team, and it isn't even one of those popular ones like basketball or football or something. Besides, I had like 25 people on my team o.o (I still can't get over the fact that, WE ONLY NEEDED 14 PLAYERS!). So, yeah. My parents got very pissed at me because supposedly I made them wait for 3 hours outside the venue...soo..yeah.
Currently, I am working on 3 culminatings. English: Sonnet. Science: Wiring a "house". Band: Song Analysis Presentation. It's pretty stressful for me, which you would notice by my appearance since I have a new mass of pimples (n).
I've also been having some actual breakouts though. On a more serious note, I will probably talk more about this when I have time, since I don't at the moment.
The countdown is on: 2 weeks till exams. I have one on the 15th and the other on the 18th. What my plan is, is to finish up my culminatings by Tuesday. Then follow up with presentations. So far, I only know that I have my Band project presentation on Wednesday. But, I do know that I could be presenting my English Project on either Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and my Science project on Thursday or Friday.
I've contemplated on whether I should say what I'm about to say because, of course, knowing my "ego", if you can even call it that, since I don't express it publicly, I don't like to mention anything that doesn't make me feel good. However, I feel like I need to because it is a part of me.
About a week ago, I handed in an Essay, just like the other students in my English class did. I was very proud because I spent more than 7 hours on it (outline, rough copy, editing, final copy).
The thing about me is that I'm very non-optimistic. For example, if there is a presentation date within a few days, I'd automatically think and start to prepare for the first day. It's probably because it happened to me before,which makes me think this way.
Back to that story, I WAS PROUD OF MY WORK. FOR ONCE. You know, sometimes I get good marks on projects that I hate or don't feel anything towards and not as good ones on projects that I am proud of. So, I got my essay back from my English teacher and she told me my mark : C. Just think about how I"d feel. (This eventually leads to my breakout problem that I had stated above) She told me that she'd give me another opportunity to improve this mark if I submit an essay in by Thursday. I've read her comments and started to think about improvements.
But, I just hate that the ONE BIG THING that I was actually PROUD of, was marked a C. My first thought towards my teacher is, I dislike you because of that mark. Then I thought about the comments she wrote and the opportunity she gave me. However, I did ask myself: Does this mark lessen the value it has towards me? Do I hate it now?
I've noticed that sometimes, my marks of a course determines whether I like a subject or not. I need to think more about how I feel, for once.(<- Post about that too, coming soon.)

Oh my God. Me too.
ReplyDeleteWell, the essay was the one thing I thought I was actually going to get a really good mark on. I kind of forgot not to use contractions, so I think a lot of my mark was lost due to that, but other than that, I think I deserved more than a 3+ for all the work I put into that stupid essay.
So wait, so now you have to write ANOTHER essay to turn in tomorrow? That's kind of ridiculous...spending 7 hours on something only to get a C and then have to redo it...
^
DeleteI know right?!!! But then again, quality is what mattered. I feel kind of bad that she gave me like 6 days to do it, including hte weekend and I didn't finish it until the day before, Wednesday. :/ But in response to that, I did have other culminatings and homework (civics movie review -___-)
I just hope I get a better mark than a C. (^Sorry for my contradicting thoughts. That is exactly how think everyday, which is how you'd know that my thoughts are sooo contradicting, so it is difficult for me to take a stand on one thing.) -stops typing all of my thought- xP
