(no subject)
nothing exciting has happened to me in a while, so i guess i'm updating for no reason, but anyway i got my grades (like everyone else), and i was really happy. except with my latin grade, my physics grade, and my english grade. my english teacher was like "lindsay is approaching a high honors average..." and then he gave me a semi-high honors grade. oh well. next quarter--i'll show him. and then my grade went down in latin. DOWN! BY TWO LEVELS! as in it went from an A- to a B. that's horrible. i'll show feds too. and then i can't remember if my physics grade went down or not. it certainly didn't go up. but i guess not getting anything below a B is good, and having my highest grade be an A (not in gym, surprisingly) is a good way to be. i just hope i can pick it up in the last quarter with all the stuff i have going "down," but i'm hoping i can say things are going "up." i know there are other people doing so many more things than i am, but with soccer, play rehearsals, piano, and then homework, it's hard to stay focused on maintaining a high work rate in everything. it's like if i do poorly in one area one day, i'll be dissappointing somebody. but then if i try to do better in that area the next time, i'll do poorly in another area instead, and it just keeps going around ya know? right.
i'm excited to be going to whistler for spring break, but it seems like everybody is staying in seattle at the same time, so i'll be the only one out of town, and then i can't hang out with those people that i never, EVER, get to see. ho hum my bum. i just hope the snow will be nice.
i'm procrastinating.
i thanked ava today for speaking at assembly yesterday, and she seemed a little embarrassed, so i tried to explain that i wasn't trying to do the thing she said she didn't want anyone to do (i can't remember her exact words), but somehow it came out of my mouth as, "yeah i can't remember what you said, but thank you for getting up there and doing that." and then i realized afterwards that it probably sounded like i couldn't remember ANYTHING she said, but that's not what i meant at all. i really liked all of her points, and her story of her childhood really struck me because i wouldn't have guessed that about her, but that just goes to show that i still judge people based on appearance. of course i didn't really have any idea at all of her background or how she might have been raised, its just that i wouldn't have thought that specifically. she really inspires me, even though i'm not getting the best grade in her class, and even before she made that statement at assembly, i just had this general feeling of generosity and strength about her, and what she said just solidified it for me. i'm sad she's leaving next year, and i can only hope that she doesn't think bad of me after what i said to her today. other people say she's mean or really strict and whatnot, but i don't think so at all. i don't understand why those people think that.
i'm off to eat sushi, and then go to rehearsal. peace.
