That's an amazing story! And Cheesus, my head was spinning when you listed some of your extracurriculars. I can see why you were accepted to the colleges you applied to. (: I'm surprised your parents were so adamant about you staying home schooled, if only because I was in the exact opposite situation when I was still in home schooling. Still, kudos to your mom for forcing you to do things you originally didn't want to do!
I almost chickened out of getting my tattoo but my sister (my little sister!!) dragged me back to the tattoo parlour so we could get the damn things done. She bought me ice-cream afterwards XD
I love my tattoo and I'm thinking of getting another one, so I'm really happy my sister is a scary bitch.
I have to push myself into doing a lot of things, because if I didn't, I'd mostly just stay in bed. Today, for instance, I pushed myself into going to talk to my Modernism tutor about how to use secondary sources properly. I felt like a moron walking in and saying "Um, hi, I don't know how to use secondary sources and I know this is a skill I should already have, but apparently I don't." Buuuuut he was so lovely about it <3 He helped me A LOT. And he said that he wished more people would ask things like that, rather than worrying about feeling stupid.
Other people push me into social activities, and my riding teacher used to gently coax me into doing things I wasn't sure about. She was great.
Good on you! The way I see it, it's better in the long to ask stupid questions and find out the right way to do something, instead of doing stupid things/making stupid mistakes.
Hello, darlin'! :D Nice to hear from you! Missed you too, of course. ♥
It's nice that you got those good habits from a relationship that wasn't the best. I wish I had someone in my life to kick my ass out of the procrastination habits I've encouraged over time. As it is, I come from a long line of "I'll do it... eventually"-folk, so I see it as a personal challenge I'll just have to try to do myself. :P
(And yes, I totally agree--asking questions is kind of nerve-wracking at first, but even if Chef gives me some grief over my constant persistence, I like to make sure that the work I give her is what she wants, the first time.)
It's cool that you have a future in mind. I envy those who do, because I have next to nothing planned for what'll come after I graduate high school. *fail*
Thank you for speaking up, babe! I love hearing from you, as always. Take care! ♥♥
LOL! I blame the computer for 75% of my procrastinating. It's so distracting knowing I could be online reading good smut, surfing and stuff instead of working on a lousy English essay. (It also doesn't help that I usually write my essays on my computer.)
Dude, that's kind of amazing. :o You know you're being an awesome student when a professor notices you're further in the back of a hall of so many people. And of course they'll act like you're giving them such a hard time, but I think that a student who wants to learn--who asks questions about the subject--is a teacher's dream come true. At least it would be for me, if I were a teacher. P:
Everyone keeps telling me it'll take some time for me to figure out what I want to do--well, everyone except for my dad--but I just hate not knowing. I like looking forward to/working towards visible goals. But I've learned not to wig myself out too much over it; I'm just playing it day-by-day right now, and while college isn't something I feel like I have to do, it's definitely something to
( ... )
Hey you! Congrats :) It's the ones who never think they're good enough that end up being the best. You're an amazing person and this is just one more feather in your cap, bb! I'm so happy for you ♥
As for being pushed into something... *L* first time I found out that I had to work in the SpEd room, I locked myself in the bathroom and sat in the tub crying for an hour. I was completely freaked out. But, it's led to meeting my best friend, working for the best boss in the universe and actually being proud of what I do each day. I can honestly say I wake up each day and want to go to work. Which is weird considering some of the nasty things I have to do *LOL*
Oooh, I like feathers in my cap. (: Thanks hun! ♥♥♥ How've you been? I haven't talked to you in eons. I MISSEDED YOUUU!
LOL! I'm glad that, in the long run, doing something you initially feared and had no desire to do led to you finding a career that makes you happy and anticipate each new day. (: Thanks for sharing, lovebug! ♥♥
