All I can say is that they're being extremely immature about the situation and until I get my fair amount of apologies from the guilty I will not be a happy Anna.
Jen, eating more is a good thing. Just eat the right things. Only let yourself eat one processed meal a day. And eat something home cooked with low fat in it, like chicken breasts with a salad for the other meal. If you need to you can always speed up your metabolism by snacking on NON PROCESSED (OMFG PROCESSED SUXORS) food several times a day. You won't get fat by not excersizing, you're just losing some muscle mass right now.
If you're fat theres no hope for me. Even though I weigh less o0; Stupid midgetness..
They're just being ignorant. I don't need them any longer, but I'm sorry you have to deal with my leftovers. Someone always has to take out the garbage.
I can completely relate. Last year, in ADI, i got an A-, and my 4.0 became a 3.98, aaand, i nearly went off the deep end, and i felt so incredibly stupid saying that such an insignificant thing meant so much to me. *siigh*..it took nearly an entire year for me to handle the fact that i no longer had a perfect GPA...i felt like a complete failure. Then the more I thought about it, the more i realized that it had essentially nothing to do with my actual grade and everything to do with my desire to be perfect, to be the best at everything. I felt that it was the only solidly, tangibly good thing i had going for me, and then it was destroyed. ..umm...i don't really know why I'm writing this..it kind of..lost relevancy after two or three sentences... but the more entries I read of your LJ, the more similarities i see between us. There! See, I do have a point. It's not a productive or beneficial-in-any-way point..but its a point!
I'm glad you made this point! I think one of my biggest fears in failure, so I try to do everything in my power to stay as far away from it as possible...by being a perfectionist of course. It's a terrible thing really, because in my rational mind I know that perfection really isn't reality, but I still want it. I understand completely about the reassuring solidity of a 4 point, when everything else seems to be falling apart its a nice thing to lean on...when that falls apart as well however, you just feel sunk. Grades are such silly things and I really don't think they should hold as much value as they do, but seeing as they do...
