Liverpool v. Man United
I know we can win. And we will win. Let’s do this, boys.
And when things go right they go wonderfully right.
I have a feeling this week will end on a high note since today was pretty great.
- I got back my AP Spanish midterm. We basically did an AP exam and our teacher graded them using the AP scale (1-5). I wasn’t feeling too confident about mine. But I got it back and I got a 5 on it!! I’m one of six people in the two AP classes that got a 5. My confidence will sky rocket in that class.
- Liverpool.
- Liverpool.
- LIVERPOOL! My boys pulled off an amazing tie against Manchester City to send them to the Carling Cup final! No team deserves it more.
- Then my mom, brother, and I went to the mall to do a little shopping. The brother put me in a sort-of-head-lock so I would give him a quarter and then we played hide and seek in Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Oh, please, let this week end with me being as content as I am now.
Sometimes it’s nice to have a break…
Even if it’s just for an hour and fifteen minutes.
My best friend swooped in and I went with her and her sister to a basketball game. And it was just bliss taking a break from the stress and the work and everything.
So now I’m home and watching the State of the Union with my mother and working on a physics webassign.
Alright Day.
- I got a B- on my history midterm and I was kinda mad at that because I worker really hard on it and my teacher graded me down a lot on something I actually did right. When I pointed it out he give me two points. Raising my grade from a B- to a B. Great.
- I had my first Middle East class today and I can tell I’m going to love it. The teacher is awesome. He’s so geeky, the password to his website is “Ozymandias” after the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
- I’m trying to be a proactive student by doing history homework that’s due Thursday. I think I’ll start my Middle East reading, too. Yay for productivity!
I’ve come to accept that the past is the past and there’s no point in worrying about a grade you got. Just forget about it and make sure you do well in the future. That’s what I have to do. Every time I get a grade I’m not so happy with I just have to shake it off and know that just because I got a B, that doesn’t mean I won’t have a great future.
It just comes to a point where…
- My happiness depends on my grades.
- I’m talking about you, physics and math.
- and maybe you, AP Spanish.
So the picture on the left is of me on Thanksgiving day, goofing off in my bedroom. The one on the right is of me goofing off at my best friends Hanukkah party the day after Christmas. That was the day when I cut off more hair than I ever have in one sitting. A little over five inches. It felt so amazing, it was as if every split end represented every thing that’s stressed me out or made me sad. Change is good.

I want to try and make this blog more personal. I tend to mainly reblog stuff.
NEW GOAL:
NO reblogging for a month. Maybe after that month I’ll be able to kick the habit forever!
