Consistancy is KEY!
8th week of school is making it's way in, and my grades are pretty far in the hole.
You know what that means.
IT MEANS I GOTTA FIGHT BACK.
But that's also what I've been telling myself for the past weeks and the past year... but this, this! THIS is different! This coming week for sure! I mean it! I'm even guna pinky promise the internet!
These following weeks, and hopefully the whole school year- I'll be staying after school almost, if not, everyday. That's right. I don't care if I have to ride the late bus anymore. Something's gotta give. I can't let my grades sink any lower. I'll smuggle food from my house, and save every little scrap of food I happen to cross by on the road, and salvage these scraps of lonely, abandoned edible crumbs. I'm talking about a whole new level here.
Yes. LET'S.
My MAIN problem subjects that I gotta really concentrate on are:
• Math
• Physics
Word. But due to recent observations; I'm also having trouble in English and Journalism. My STRONGEST points, IMHO, are my writing skills. Every year, I always happen to top my English classes with an amazing essay or by one of my projects. Oh yeah~ skills~. BUTT- this year, I'm already getting incredibly frustrated with writing. Any sort of writing actually, whether it be free writing or analytical writing. It's 'cos of all my stress at school. I'm thinking about SAT's, PSAT's, ACT's, AP exams, scholarships, and colleges 24/7... holy jeebus. It's a lot to deal with. But there is such a thing as 'time management'. I think that's the key I really need.
Also, I've noticed that... I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STUDY. LOL, I'm serious.
In all of my years of school... I either understood something, or I didn't understand it. If I didn't understand something- I wouldn't bother with it (that is, after I tried getting help- I'm not a quitter;;). But for the most part, I naturally understood things. But that was because of my amazing teachers over the years. They taught so well that they'd drill everything into my head, and I wouldn't even have to ever crack open a book. Ever. And that... really wasn't a good thing, because now I'm confronted with AP teachers who want you to learn straight from the book.
I can't do that. It's hard. VERY hard. So I'm starting from square one with studying. And it's a real bitch, lemme tell yuh. I don't know how people do it. After I'm through reading one sentence, I'm already in a fight for life as I'm drifting off to sleep. HNNNGGG.
It's only the 1st quarter, but I'm already getting worried. I know I can fix this. I just need a lot of confidence and power backing me up. I think I gotta load up all the 90's/80's classics into my shitty PSP. I'VE GOT THE POWER~ I WILL SURVIVE~!!!
I can do this. NO SWEAT.
Also, in a STRUGGLING attempt. I will be trying to draw some art on my non-existent free time.
'Till next time gaiz!
