(no subject)
So I'm updating solely for the sake of having something to do. Even though I have lunch now and a car I'm not going out because I have $3 and no job or other form of income. I could do my bio homework, but why do it now when I can stress about it later, in the privacy of my own home? LOL..Yeah, bottomline-I finally have senioritis and no longer have any motivation to do schoolwork. I got into my first choice college. I ripped almost straight A+s for the first semester and on my midterms. If I'm going to get any scholarships, they're already decided and getting a few Bs this semester is not going to cause me to lose them.
People see me as a hardworking girl who always strives to live up to her full potential and impress her teachers, parents, friends, and employers. Some people might say that my motivation to do work should come from this image that people hold of me. Well you know what? I used to believe people who said this, but now, now I'm fed up. I'm tired of working my ass off to impress people and to maintain my 4.9 grade point average. I've finally come to the realization that what matters most is what I think about myself and that I'm engaging in activities that I enjoy. I still see the importance of sitting down every night and doing homework. It instills discipline and responsibility, which are very admirable qualities in a person (in my opinion). I've decided, however, that I'm going to spend 20 minutes instead of 40 on my math homework, 30 minutes instead of an hour on my bio reading, and so on.
Sorry, this entry wasn't meant to be a rant.
