i think i majorly screwed up my language arts essay today. i just completely spaced out and i couldn't think and didn't think. there were so many things i could have added, so many different ways i could have phrased a sentence or two to make the whole thing so much better. a few words here and a little subtle direction there and i'd have enough points. but right now, i think i only have 1 out of the 3 i need. and even my counterpoint was badly written and there was a really good quote that i told myself to use before the exam and then during the paper itself i completely forgot about it!
sigh. mighty depressing. but i guess i can't fix it now so hopefully, the marker will be nice and not be too harsh on my essay. and somehow, reading seems to make it better, since i dont think about it so much. and then there's the quote jen showed me two days ago -
fiction gives us a second chance that life denies. How apt.
but still, one down and only everything else left to go. not to forget all the homework i still have not finished, as usual. so many things to do... i think they should just let us have meditation periods during school :/ everything's so hurried and stressful we have no time or space left to think.
i need to wrestle my life into shape. i guess i can officially say i've quit pet society but that doesn't make any difference cause now i'm just using that time to read random storybooks. sigh. i hope i do better for my chinese paper on monday, but since it's chinese... i doubt it.
Imagine how many stories are hidden under just one smile.
