Taking the Good with the Bad
POSTED ON: 2009年4月21日火曜日 @ 16:06 | 0 comments
It's very important you know? I really think this. Things will never remain good but they will never stay bad. Life has a way of balancing itself out in the end, when you look at the big picture [it might not be fair] but often it is balanced.
This statement can apply to a lot of things today and thoughts of the past week but without getting personal I'll apply it to today. I got up early, 4.00, after heading into bed at about 0.00. I finished my study guide up until the point I needed too and made some rice for breakfast.
We got our History grades and mine was terrible. We haven't had many assignments and the two over Spring Break (one which I had missed the day before) were pretty heavy. I didn't turn them in and my grade was the lowest I think I've ever had in my lifetime. What a nasty thing to see, so of course it made me very jumpy and nervous. Progress report grades go in next week and the tests right now and very difficult because it's the last quarter. There's no way I can improve my grade above a C by then and it really worried me.
I know it's stupid to dwell so much but I was really overwhelmed and disappointed. I have been working so hard on review and studying and reading the material that I thought that portion would have payed off. Anyways, the rest of the day wasn't so bad just very busy.
I didn't miss much work and completed almost all of it in my respective classes. I came out very lucky in math because the concepts I missed were easy and the assignment I made up in class. I didn't really have any other concerns though.
Lunch was really busy and advisory too because we were completing more of the study guide. I have to finish three long pages today for tomorrow. In English things went really smoothly.
After school I had a review session and we tested on material all the way up to the French Revolution [though not including it]. The questions were really tricky and the essay wasn't hard but I couldn't remember specifics. We are flying through so much material I am nervous I got my time periods mixed up. The question was something like: How did the Enlightened thinkers feel about organized religion?
Actually a fantastic and relatively easy question but my mind was blank when it came to specifics of thinkers. I instantly thought of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Blaise Pascal, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Immanuel Kant. But I couldn't remember how each felt specifically about religion and then I was thinking about the only true examples were Locke and Hobbes and they were pre Enlightenment [inspirations for the Enlightenment thinkers] so I felt stuck.
Anyways, besides that, the day was good and at the last minute I asked my teacher about that assignment.
"I missed the DBQ question over the break. Can I do something to improve my grade or should I just take it like a man?"
His policies lately have been very very very strict with late work but..
"No, don't worry Aoi I'll just exclude that assignment if you weren't here."
I felt so much better it's not even funny *laugh* Because it was worth twenty points which right now is large enough to "make or break" a grade, you know? But anyways...that happiness overshadows some of the bad today. I have a lot of work and I am pretty tired. I wont complain though, I am happy to be busy : D
Right now I am about to head to the gym. I'll bring my book and read some more history. I could definitely use it. Hmm...that's about it though. I will come back and take a quick shower than begin my studies. I want to send some pictures to Shou too though, just some amusing Jae ones.

So, you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth.
You learn and learn, with every goodbye you learn.
Scream your name
Your thoughts, and your cries. Be nice.
Tagboard here, I like shoutmix.com. It can be 100% in width, the height you can put it as whatever. Best if the style is "wide"
