I had quite an enjoyable Christmas, full of presents, good food, and family. This evening, I went with my parents to watch the movie/musical Nine. Loved it. Go watch it.
Not much to say tonight; busy day tomorrow with all the relatives coming over for the family Christmas. But I leave you with this great motivational poster:
Yikes, has it really been 10 days since my last post? Well, I’ve been enjoying my winter break and relaxing after a stressful week of finals and even more stressful quarter. This autumn, I was forced to choke down my pride and ego and finally admit that, in some ways, I had been bested. High school was never much of a challenge for me. I kept busy enough, sure, and studied every once in a while, but all in all it was a breeze. This quarter was something different entirely. I studied, and studied hard, but no amount of pouring over notes could have prepared me for the exams in my calculus class. I failed two of them epically, well below the class average. And I studied for two days straight before each of them. Before this, I had never, ever failed a test before. Not even close. During the third exam, a week before finals, there were girls in my class who broke down crying right in the middle of the test. I heard that some guy in another class got so stressed out and nervous that he got sick.
And the worst part? It’s not even over. I have to take the next class in the series next quarter, and almost everyone says it’s even harder. Ugh.
But for now, I’m going to sit back, maybe read a nice book or two, and enjoy my break while it lasts. I’ll think about next quarter when it gets here.
Going home for Thanksgiving break! See y’all next week!
