This semester is over and i have accomplished nothing. i honestly don't even know where this semester went. the part that disgusts me the most is that i don't know where it went because i can't remember most of it. everything is foggy and i only know that certain things happened because i have pictures and video clips to prove it. i hate this

I know it's hard, nothing is ever easy, but just do your best. I tell my students that allll the time (i am in China) because they, too, get this perception that if they fail one thing they are doomed for life (they also seem to think they can graduate and be managers of companies and if they don't get the manager position right away they will give up, talk about eye rolling preaching there hahaa I think i taught them the phrase start from the bottom up that day!). I used to be the person drowning in lack of confidence, I had horrible times in college! And now, suddenly I am a moviational speaker. I honestly don't know how that happened. Perhaps that will happen to you, too! Perhaps its a survival skill that I am like this because I don't think I could be in China if I had any doubts about myself (and coming here was one spontaneous idea, too!). I am glad you will take my advice, though. You can do it XD

The class where I got the worst grades for lit was my FAVORITE period. Early British Lit. I knowww I was the only one who got excited over middle english words, and I know I am the only one who could read the old French in some stories, but I barely got a C, and I know I got a C becuse the teacher knew I was graduating and couldnt afford a D--- that I know I got mathmatically! And her D---- is basically an F+, psychotic! But we live and learn! But my trying times have made me stronger as I look back on them now.

I think your mother will feel better if you just tell her, this time was bad, but next time will be better. She may be upset for like a week, then she will get over it, especially when she see's you trying your best and fulfilling your promise.

and if you ever need advice, I am an LJ comment away! I will go on my spring holiday traveling throughout China between mid Jan and FEb so If I don't answer you I am not ignoring you :)
