Beginning of the End
This week I was really afraid of starting government class. Everyone from last semester made things seem really difficult and unfortunately I submitted my UC apps saying that I was going to take honors in government. It's not that I don't think that I am capable of completing the work that he assigns, it's just that I don't believe I have enough time to complete all the work. I have a job, and I dance 3 days a week, and I teach a dance class. I feel like I hardly have enough time to breathe as it is and I'm afraid that if I'm being forced to write 9 page papers every week that there's no way I'm going to be able to keep my head above water. The one good thing about this week was that I woke up Tuesday morning really afraid to walk into calculus and find out my grade on the final. I had an 86% in the class without my final grade and I was definitely fearing that there was a possibility my overall grade would fall to a C+ or lower. However, I scored a 90% on the final and my final grade in his class was a 90% exactly as well. With the very large amount of school that I've missed since the accident, I am really proud of myself for studying really hard and finishing the semester with straight A's :) But the idea that this is my very last semester in high school makes me really sad. I'm relieved that the work will be over, however the idea that I can never come back to this, is an overwhelmingly depressing thing for me. I really hope these last few months are ones that I will never forget.

Don't worry Lila! I also applied committing myself to taking Eli's honors and I'll do it with you! Plus, you should be grateful that you have a job. I'm still waiting for my call back from Jamba Juice :)
ReplyDeleteLila! Honestly, I have no idea how you have managed to keep straight A's because of your schedule and because of your accident. Let me just say I'm so proud of you! I know you worked really hard completing all of your assignments and it certainly shows through your grades. It seems like yesterday we were little freshman in Mike Flynn's advisory! Anyways, we are going to have an amazing last semester!
ReplyDeleteWow, good job on the math final!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely be proud of yourself:)
As for government honors, it's really up to you. You can call or email your colleges saying why you didn't do honors, that's what I'm doing for math. And it won't really affect their decision. It's your choice though! Good luck:)
Lila,
ReplyDeleteI have total faith in you that you will be able to pull off this semester without a hitch. I am sure that honors Gov will be challenging but if anyone can handle it, its you. Try maybe taking a step back and seeing what activities are most important to you, that way if there is something you dont feel s strongly about, you can rid it from your life.
