Tuesday
In attempting to write the day for my subject, I had a momentary lapse and suddenly thought it was Monday, and then thought "Only Monday? This is awful..." And then remembered that yesterday had happened. Which reminds me of yesterday, when I took a really hard hit during the soccer game. I was extremely intent on ensuring that the girl I was marking didn't touch the ball, and somehow ended up tripping over her and took a hard enough hit to the ground to get the wind knocked out of me. Now I know how asthmatics feel, when you don't get full use of your windpipe and really need to breathe. I even got a grass stain on my jersey from that fall. But I also managed to hit my head in the process, and it wasn't until 5 minutes after I had been sitting out recovering that I realized that we were going in the OPPOSITE direction than I had thought we had been for those 5 minutes.
In the end, we ended up winning 4-2. I scored one of the goals (one of those deals where the goalie fumbles and so you kick it in the goal) and Ariella scored the other. We played them the Friday night that break started and won 5-0, so this was a bit disheartening.
So yesterday I got my grade back from my calc test. Yeah, the one that I had needed a 96 on to get an A on for the quarter. I ended up with a 97. So my final grade in the class is an 89.8. That's the highest test grade I've pulled off this year. Unfortunately, because I went B A for the quarter grades, I also have to get an A on the exam which actually means STUDYING. Blegh. As for physics, I had an 89.02 last time he checked and that was without the lab grades that he's going to enter later on. So I'm pretty sure I'll get an A for this quarter, which puts me in the same place as calc in that I have to study. We had the first half of the exam today (the free-response). The only thing I can say is that I'm REALLY glad there's going to be a curve. But I'm afraid of people throwing it off [like Igor..] I didn't get around to doing some of the parts partially because I ran out of time, but mostly because I didn't review fluids because I a. didn't think that we would have much on the exam on the material that we covered the most recently and b. didn't think I had forgotten as much as I did. But then a lot of other people said that they didn't get around to doing a lot of stuff, which makes me feel slightly better... I just need to do really well on the multiple choice now. And actually DO the labs, which I'm REALLY not up for doing. But on the bright side, I just organized my english binder with everything in it since the start of the year! Not like the organization will last or anything. XD
This year, New Years really didn't carry that much weight for me. Or it could've, but I just didn't want to think about everything that happened in great detail because some of the wounds that opened this year are still a little fresh. I just realized that I actually HAD resolutions last year for New Years by checking my last livejournal entry of 2006. Which is ironic, because I specifically stated that they would be forgotten, like all New Years Resolutions. They were to get more sleep, be a better girlfriend, be a better daughter, and enjoying life more. Well the girlfriend thing is out the window, hahah. The getting more sleep thing didn't really work out, and I really need to learn how to let myself sleep. Goes hand in hand with time management. I don't think I became much of a better daughter, because unfortunately I still don't get along much better with my parents. But I do think I've been enjoying life more. This year soccer season has been much more fun for me, I laugh more, I have more friends, and I do more things that /I/ want to do. Now I think resolutions are pointless, so if I HAD any, this is what they would be...
1. REALLY be a better daughter.
2. Get over the past. Completely.
3. Learn to manage my time better / learn how to NOT cram / be better organized in general (and clean my room more than once every two years).
4. Read more books on my own time. Become well-read and well-versed with classics.
5. Expand my musical horizons as well as my musical collection.
6. Take better care of my hands (yeah, this one is kinda trivial, but soft hands are nice).
Maybe I'll think of more later, but that's all for now.
