ugh
so i write these two papers
one of which i'm particularly proud of
only to get a C- on both.
and while a part of me is like "BUT I'M a SENIOR AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN ANYTHING BELOW AN 89% on a PAPER!!!:::WHINE:::"
the other part is trying to remember that i have graduate school essays/personal statements to write
and this is going to be a FANTASTIC opportunity to improve my writing skills
so luckily i can do the papers over
but i've never HAD to do papers over, blech!
i mean it's okay, but i honestly was thinking oh...maybe i'll get a B or B+ on these papers and that would have been fine. i'm just hoping that when i go to redo/revisit these papers with my professor the types of errors will be ones i can actually learn from and grow from....not mistakes where i'm either like "uh....what?...bullshit." or "..i don't understand, and will never understand..."
why do i need to have a growing with writing experience right now, when i have to write such important things....
i've gotta have confidence in my academic writing again. something i've honestly never really had to keep too much in check. if that makes sense.
i know i've been able to improve over the years with writing, but i didn't know that i could work hard and produce C- papers.
::sigh:: there's a first time for everything.
other than that little issue, things really are nice.
i'm doing a better job at taking the time to keep in touch with people and family...and that's realy important to me.
Derrick and I are doing well. We had our little moment where we felt sort of stagnant and almost helpless, but things are sailing smoothly again.
I can't believe we've been together for a little over two years now. This is so insane.
I really hope that we make it through all this grad school stuff. I want to see him at the end of my two years...or atleast at the end of my possible year off from school, ya know?
He's such a big part of my life, and I love that. I want it to stay that way.
Anyway, we went to a men's homeless shelter that he'll be volunteering at, yesterday. That was nice, it's faith based and all, and it was something that I could definitely see Derrick and even myself enjoying as a life career.
What the hell is a "life career"?
I like being 21.
