college talk
so i had i really long talk with my mom about college and where i want to go and such.
she's worried about my grades. it seems reasonable i guess, since yes, they have gone down this year, and yes it's most likely because of crew.
she was implying that she would not let me row next year if i didn't have good end-of-the-year report cards. which i will. i think. well, what's good? i know i won't have any Cs. As and Bs. not bad.
i don't know how chris brennan did it. valedictorian in ib and crew. i am so dead after practice that i just procrastinate even more than the usual. some weekends were productive, in which i got soo much done, but other weekends i just wasted being sore and limping around the house. or going online and crap like that when i should be doing other things. like now, for instance, i haven't done the history crap that's due tomorrow and i have done nothing but read for pleasure today while the rest of the ib kids took the ib psych exam. it's going to be a really long night. my mom is going to kill me. i don't really care though. my sister said since she has 4 days left of school (she's going to stotes and nationals) she has all this crap to turn in tomorrow before she leaves so she'll be up like all night probably. that means my mom can't get mad without getting mad at both of us. and she never gets mad at my sister so i figure perfect opportunity to get in done tonight (history i mean).
anyway, i realize that crew is really hurting my chances of getting into the college i want because it has brought my grades down (my gpa is still over 3.5 mind you) but i cannot imagine letting it go next year. i don't even know what i am going to do with myself this summer! i'm kinda scared i'll regret it later in life though. i don't think i will though, because i have never been more happy than i am when i am on the water.
