A quick update...
Quick update on my life:
I dropped French with the intention of re-learning it the rest of this semester and this summer and re-taking the level I dropped with a greater understanding, or perhaps testing out of 102 and jumping to 201, which would be ideal, both because I wouldn't technically lose a semester of progress, and because it would re-affirm my self-confidence.
I auditioned and got the leading male role (so to speak, the title of the play comes to be understood in the monologues given by my character, so I'm calling it the lead role, though all the roles are pretty evenly distributed) in a ten-minute play written by Tony Kushner (author of Angels in America) The show goes on on my birthday March 24th, I'm rather amped about these facts.
I got a rather poor grade on my first music test, so that's the wake-up I needed. I'll be devoting a great deal of time to running a high GPA this semester. It would certainly make up for the C- I got last semester in French (at least for the overall GPA, nothing changes what has happened already)
I've decided to get Robert Frost's poem "Fire and Ice" tattooed onto my left bicep. I think this is something that I can reasonably be able to explain to my children and grandchildren, and something I wouldn't regret when I turn 80.
Though I am occasionally depressed, I've come to realize that anxiety, stress, and depression are part of being alive. If I was always happy I'd have no real goal in life, or a serious case of detachment with what is happening in the world. Things could be so much worse than "I got a 79 on a test in one of the top public schools in the richest country in the world" So I'm dealing.
Peace, Love, Conserve Water.
