(no subject)
I am one happy girl. Wrote the fourth and fifth out of seven exams today.
Biology went horrible.
Biology Lab was pretty good.
Chemistry was not too bad.
Philosophy was excellent.
Chemistry Lab was better than expected.
Heath.
Geronotlogy.
Which equals an over-all average of acceptable. Hurrah for mediocre!
Jason has his car this week so we went to McDonald's for lunch. Delicious.
I'm selfish.
And people need to grow up.
I have like, half of my Christmas shopping done. I am very excited to be going home on Thursday. Only one exam left to study for. Making money. Spending it on shopping for Christmas. Seeing le crew. Sleeping in and watching TV all afternoon. Ah! Life is good.
Okay so yesterday I was downstairs in the study room, and I was sitting in front of this girl, and I overheard her telling her friend (who I am actually also friends with as well, so I'm not that creepy) that she had been bawling all day because she was scared for her exam and wasn't as confident about the material as she thought she was or something. This, actually sort of scared me a little.
It scares me when people have never even had a glimpse of failure. Failure is a normal part of learning. I think it's scary when people have never experienced failure, or are used to always being the very best, because you can't be forever, and I think the sooner you learn that, the better off you'll be. The further down the road you go not having learned that you can't always be the best, the harder it is to accept it. I'm not saying that everyone should just accept inevitable failure; I'm saying that some people need a reality check. If you fail (and by fail I don't even necessarily mean fail, I mean, maybe get a 60% when you're used to 80%), then you learn from it. But man. Some people go crazy! I don't like it. If you study hard, most of the time, you'll do well. And if not, oh well. There's ways around it. You just have to take a different route. When you finish your post-secondary education, no one asks you what courses you took and what you got on your midterms. They look at your degree/certificate/etc. I don't know why, I just don't like when people freak out. Makes me uneasy.
Anyways.
I average about 2.5 hot chocolates a day now. I'm an addict!
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio?
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
Woo, woo, woo
