When the going gets tough- all you want to do is take a nap.
It's amazing how I can start a day feeling terrific and end it feeling like something heavy and forgotten sitting on the bottom of an ocean. I wonder if I'm bipolar or something. Nah. It's just a series of unfortunate events.
The good part of today: First period: The girl that sits next to me in English gave me two books that I don't have time to read: "Utopia" and "Why I am Not a Christian." Haha. So far I'm liking the latter better. Utopia is starting to give me the creepers (I'm on page 15... so that's probably not enough to judge a book on).
The bad part of today: still first period. Stupid research paper. Half of my topic is interesting to me. The other half is a formality. The thesis statement of my essay is "Fascination with the classical theology was a contradiction to the religious views of the time, and was a major factor to what sparked the change in art during the renaissance." The art part of that is the good part. The literature part- well, the essay must be literature based.
I'm going on a latin trip. for one day. I have a tennis conflict; The latin competition thing is supposed to be thursday and friday, but there's a tennis tourney on friday. I tried to explain to my coach that I had a commitment to Junior Classical League. She told me I have a commitment to tennis. So guess what. I'm doing tennis because I'm on varsity and I can't let down the team. It would be so much less stressful to be on JV. I hate competition. That's part of being human, though: the need to prove to everyone else that you're better than they are. Ick.
I've been in my pottery class two or three full periods in the last two weeks because of excused absences for tennis matches. I only have two projects done and I need at least ten by the end of semester. PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC PANIC. Id Sugit.
So... Life's a hike. It's a good trail; I've just run into another steep part with loose rocks that I have to scramble up. I'm looking forward to the easy downhill part after I conquer the slope. Even if it doesn't last long. Gotta live for those downhill bits.
