The trouble with setting high standards is that they are nearly impossible to surpass. So when they are met, it feels...ordinary. Satisfying, yes; but there is no sense of overwhelming pride that comes when you exceed a goal. And it makes me kind of angry with myself because I feel like I SHOULD be proud, like some of my friends are of me, but * ( Read more... )

I'm sure everyone and their mother has said this, but I'll say it again: that is fucking impressive. I'm proud, whether you are or not.

After APs I plan to... read the 6th Harry Potter again! ♥ And have a Law and Order marathon...

As for my Big Mama, I did The Grapes of Wrath and The Ox-Bow Incident. I'm gonna gloat though: I got a 5.

It's good that you're dedicated... but if you ever want something different to do, try swimming. It's wonderful stress relief. Or give me a call. We can go bowling. But seriously. :)

Thanks!

Hahaha, 6th Harry Potter was my spring break relaxation. I read it at the same time as my brother and we discussed it. He's 12. But it was fun.

I have a bad tendency to watch late night Law and Order, at like 11 or 12, which of course doesn't do much to help me sleep. I hate TV.

I love the Grapes of Wrath. Haven't read the other. I have Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley's Lover; they both seem good.

Oh man, bowling. Totally! I definitely need the relaxation after all this stupid testing.

Thank yoooooooooooooooou!

Are you ever going to be in Southern California?! We need to hang out!

vaughnmyangel April 27 2006, 18:40:20 UTC

I might be there sometime in July for a day or two. I'll definately give you a call if I am around. :). Good luck with everything! If you ever want to come visit Stanford next year give me a call and I'll show you around.

Awesome!

Oh you're going to Stanford? Awesome again! You will totally rule the school. And if I'm up there, dur, you have to give me a tour.

yeah, that's an awesome score... but i know where you're coming from about the never really feeling happy for your achievements... i am the most pessimistic, self-deprecating person i know... but still, you can't be disappointed with those scores!

and after APs i plan on starting guitar lessons, getting a job at duttons, reading a couple of books, and going hiking and biking every week.
yeah, i just hope that i manage about half of that...

goldladybug April 27 2006, 16:28:34 UTC

Thanks!
And yeah, it's a weird, not-so-fun feeling.
