this article is just me taking out my frustration, and boy is there a lot of it!
I was quite frustrated today. I mean, school was OK, but tennis... ugh... I played with Leslie and we lost the first set 2-6. Second set, we won 6-1. Last, tie-breaking set, we played our all, and we tied with the other team 6-6. So we played the ultimate tie-breaker, and we lost! And that enemy team was horrible at tennis! I can't believe it, I'm

i have this list of things i have to do before i graduate high school. one of them is to fail a test and accept it. not to beat myself up over my mistakes, but to learn from them and move on. i know i'm saying this now with such ease and clarity, and i do realize this is easier said than done. i am working on making this part of my lifestyle, and thus far it has worked. last year i spent every moment of everyday worrying about my mistakes. and where did that get me? i ended up dropping honors english, not eating, not sleeping, crying every day and (almost) losing my friends. it took me nearly a year, but i have made a complete turn around. do you think i could have handled my dad's deployment in the state i was in last year? i do not think so.
i beleive we'll all learn to take our bad days with stride someday. it may not be anytime soon, and perhaps, like me, you'll make everyone believe you're having a good day by wearing a mask. but if you can convince others you're fine, sometimes you can even fool yourself. believe me, i know.
i don't know if that helped, but i needed to get that off my chest. hope your day is better!

ps. a few irish blessings for you...
Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
May the saddest day of your future be no worse
Than the happiest day of your past.
