yay
Get ready for some optimism cuz it doesn't often happen in this part of town.
I was really in a slump in the beginning of the week, but I'm definitely feeling better. I'm working hard in school...and for once it's actually paying off. My time online is taking a hit, but I've realized that at this moment in time it doesn't much matter to me. I'm still around enough to still be in "the loop" and if I don't go on AIM I still have this to keep me somewhat connected and communicating.
I had a class test in every class today and I thought I'd just die today...but surprisingly enough I think I did relatively well on everything. Mr. Scruggs asked me today what happened to me on the Huck Finn exam...and I said I wasn't quite sure. He says we should go over the test later on. Maybe I can raise my grade somehow. It's nice to know that someone (and a teacher that that!) notices when something's wrong. I think I did really well on the Calc quiz today and chem wasn't too bad. I guessed on some things...but I guess right apparently. Fancy that!
It's kinda like...I was so focused on other things that I started to get distracted from things that mattered to me so much. If anything...what's happened in the past has been a sort of wake-up call and I definitely don't regret any of it. Well maybe a little bit, but not much.
My dad's been in Denver on business and my mom's been mad at me for one reason or another...so I've basically been on my own for the whole week. Sometimes I wish I was one of those kids who'd go up to their parents and report to them every single good judgement they've ever made. Maybe then my parents would appreciate how I've turned out. They don't seem to realize that I've sacrificed so many things for school. I do value school and my education a lot. Sometimes though, it doesnt seem like it's all worth wasting my youth on a few grades. They don't seem to notice that I've forfeited going out with my friends many times just to do school work. Of course, if I brought this to their attention they wouldn't be proud of me. They'd just dismiss it and say "Well we wouldn't have let you out of the house anyway."
Oh well...for the time being I don't really care what they think about me. I know that I have good judgement and I am making good choices about my future and I'm proud of myself. That's all that matters to me now.
