eh, who cares!
VH1 is famous for the classic show "The Best Week Ever!" I, on the other hand, am renowned for "The Worst Week Ever!"
Now as most of you know - I'm not really one to delve into my daily events. However, if AP English has taught me anything: "everyone is too enthralled with his or her own 'tragic lifestyle' to recognize anyone else's." Therefore it's completely legitimate to bask in my own self-pity; that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
For the sake of brevity, I'll try to be as succinct as possible -- before Monday my week was going rather well; of course only one day had elapsed, so that's not really saying much. But anyway, Monday I was told to re-write an article on Q and Not U, which I had dedicated hours upon hours to. Tuesday I received a C+ on my AP English mid-term. Later that evening, while realizing none of my friends can relate to me, my parents informed me they refuse to pay $32,000 per year for my college education because I have no career in mind. And to top things off, this morning I tapped a car in the school parking lot while the owner was standing right next to it. Hence, I should have my own television network and air "The Worst Week Ever!" Or at least I thought so...until sixth period.
Sixth period: Christian Vocations -- a class I've always taken for granted, and yet today it's quite possible it changed my outlook on life. Allow me to introduce "The Four Agreements: A Toltec Way of Knowing" and Steph Moran's New Way of Life:
A) Be Impeccable with Your Word -- in laymen's terms, "always be honest." It's often said that "Honesty is the best policy." And so if I'm going to live in accordance with the Toltec tribe, I should tell the truth. So this one is for the beau -- the other day you really hurt my feelings when you told me you don't think you'll visit me in Boston. It's funny - because so many people have already decided they'll come and stay for a weekend. But the one person I really want to be there, doesn't think he will.
B) Don't Make Assumptions -- "When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me." I've heard that one too many times, but I just realized it on Monday. You see, I assumed based on the Q and Not U interview which consisted of questions about the new album Power, I should write about the new album Power. I thought it made sense, but I guess a certain 25 year old and I really don't see things in the same light. And so, Dany, I would really appreciate it if you would clarify this following statement: "One thing though, I need the interview as an article, not an album review." How exactly would you like me to write it?
C) Always Do Your Best -- I don't really care about this one at all. Therefore, you shouldn't read this.
And the kicker:
D) Never Take Anything Personally -- "Stop Being Self-Involved." I guess this means when Nice gives me a lower grade than most, it's not because she hates me it's because my writing really isn't that fantastic. I guess when Dany tells me to re-write the Q and Not U article it's not because it's bad; it's because it's not what he wants. I guess when the beau tells me he doesn't think he'll visit me in Boston, it's not because he doesn't want to; it's because he has class, his own future, and his own life to worry about here in New Jersey. And I guess it means this entire entry has been meaningless. Because life isn't about Q and Not U or a car accident or even the Toltecs; it's not about self-pity, or me and my problems. It's about so much more...
I just wish I knew what.
Perhaps the answer is AP English. But since I got a C+ on the mid-term, one could only conclude I suck at life. Damn...
