assuming that i got over 30% on the kamka final and that the spanish presentation goes well (didn't have time to do it today)...
i have all As and a B for semester.
this is after my parents yelled at me for not applying myself and saying that i'm going to fail in the real world.
now they're backpedaling saying "well it's because you're so smart." "i don't know anyone else who could pull off good grades without working their tail off" "we're just worried that you won't know the value of hard work because you don't need to work hard to succeed"
save it. i got all As and a B. fair and square.
and i left a message on my father's answering machine saying that i await an apology upon their return.
it's not that i don't work... i just work as hard as i need to in order to get by. i guess that's not a good way to look at life... but when i need to put my nose to the grindstone and get something done... damnit! i do that thangg. i don't think i lack a work ethic... it is just in hibernation. because it's so vicious that i only use it when i must.
(in barber i have an 88.6 but he also put in a zero for a ten point assignment i did so i call that A legit. plus since he likes me he always calls me "cousin candice"... so i had to put up with that. i deserve an A in that respect too. tolerance.)
yeah. so i feel as if i deserve my grades, though i plan to maybe work a bit harder next semester. and i'm so sorry to everybody who worked really hard and didn't get the grades they deserve.
you're straight A+ students in my book
it'd be nice if there was a second column on our report for effort grades.
