I feel like kicking myself ten times over. I should've said no. I should've told her that I was in no position to complete the task. But my stubborn side is very persuasive. Get it over with! Why drag on the time. Just get it over with. So I did it and absolutely, totally and utterly regret it with a complete passion. Why did I ever do such an idiotic thing?! Why?? I have a habit when at the most horrible times, I replay awkward or stupid moments in my head. Someone could just be looking at me and my face would go from expressionless to looking like I just sucked a lemon dry. Don't you hate those moments when you cringe at the idiocy you have done?? You may be wondering why I'm feeling this way. Well, I got my results from my methods SAC back today and I...failed miserably, bluntly put. I know I know that it's just a SAC and so on, that I should strive to do better but it was just so STUPID how stubborn I could get. I didn't just fail, I failed 'with flying colours'. believe it or not, I used to do pretty well during methods. This SAC was a bombshell. What with my family on the brink of insanity, it's getting a bit too much to bear. I knew I wasn't myself that day when I completed the paper but I still did it. Good heavens. May the lords come and provide me with gasoline and a match so I could burn my paper as well as my textbook...oh and my stupid $200 calculator as well. If only, hey?
Well, it got a bit better in a sense. For those who don't know, I'm a volunteer at a hospital. Recently, I've been appointed as youth ambassador. Don't get fooled by the name though because in my opinion it's not much. I just go around to other 'young adults' and convince them to volunteer. Well, I did one of the interviews and photoshoots for one of the papers today and to be honest, it lifted my spirits up a bit. They placed me with one of the patients and asked me to converse with him. Of course I would! How awkward would it be to just look at a person as if you're pretending to talk to them. Anyway, the guy I was with was awesome. He had a huge metal brace on his leg from riding his bike with a couple of his mates high up a dirt hill. Things got pear shaped and he ended up with his leg bent at a 45 degree angle, broken in two places. He was telling me how his mate filmed the whole thing as well, including when the ambulance took him away on a stretcher. The amazing thing was that he said he felt no pain. Haha! Well, that's a guy I could confidently say is 'living the life'.
Now I should get back to my literature SAC. I've been trying to avoid it by writing up this post but I know I should get back to it. So off I go:)
Until next time.

Methods? is it math? If so, don't worry too much. Unless you plan to be an engineer or a astrophysicist, you're unlikely to need it.
ReplyDeleteOoo...Methods sucks!!! Don't worry, as Shaun said, unless you plan on being some ridiculous chemical engineer or mathematician, it really isn't handy at all!
ReplyDeleteLiterature, on the other hand, is something that I don't mind. What book/poem/play are you studying? Granted, it has now been 2 years since I have had to write a SAC, but I still remember them. Nasty little bugger's they are! Fret not, it will all be over before you know it!

p.s. The smell is the best part! :)
ReplyDeleteUrgh. Me too. But true, If you are looking for an overall good score, then yes. But hmm ... I will still say forever and a day that as long as you can do quick math in your head, then you're set. Unless of course you need it to get into a uni course or some other such thing. At the end of the day, math blows. That's what calculators and computers are for.
ReplyDeleteSure nuff.
ReplyDeletewell at least the study set wasn't too bad! I agree with Shaun, at the end of the day math blows!!!
ReplyDeleteIt will end soon, don't worry! It is already August! not too long before the end of the year and summer (for me at least, not sure about you (I don't know where you live, so, I can't say))

I love that you invaded on my blog! :) haha the more the merrier!
ReplyDeleteAre you for serious!?!?! I live in Ballarat! :O
I don't do the whole beach thing though, like I said, winter is my favourite season. There is a perfectly good, reasonable and sound explaination, I burn like hell!!!!!!! I am quite pale, so when the summer sun comes into contact with my skin, it creates disaster! I love swimming though, The pool is a regular hanging spot for me. I like water in general really...

The youth ambassador stuff sounds interesting. My brother did something like that a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the test too much. In the midst of everything else you've got going on in a few years, it will seem insignificant (and, plus..it's like...maths? urgh).
We learn from our mistakes :) (mostly. sometimes)
You really are quite remarkable, you know that? Which one did you think of first? One of YOUR stories is EXACTLY correct. I wonder what it says about me that I was thinking of one and not the other ...?
ReplyDeleteHAha! You got it right the first time:)
