Awesome Lisa: Missy, your essay was awesome. You did a great job.
Me: The huh? Oh, I mean, thanks!

I'm going to be writing the recap of the girls basketball games for the yearbook. A whole page? On three games? Good thing we already know I can be very long-winded when it comes to basketball escapades.*
It's just ... kinda odd. Sometimes I get all, these people don't like me, and I take that and run with it, and some of the time I am totally going to town with the imagining. I'm there right about now and I don't know if I am imagining it or if I'm being very perceptive. Either way, it's not really a good place to be coming from when I have to fill up a page with 'amusing anecdotes' and 'funny quotes' about those exact people.
Overthinking it? Yeah, probably.

Just realised I didn't say what I actually got. I mean, it would have been hilarious (but not) if Lisa was all, great job, and I was like, I know right?! and then my essay was all like, C dude, you got a C.
I got an 80. Or a Distinction. Which one sounds better?
*Ess-ca-pay. I wonder what that means? That's funny, it's spelt just like the word 'escape'!
A "D" is OK I guess, particularly when you weren't actually expecting it.
ReplyDeleteBut I tend to think it was the people who were wasting your time, and whom you had to push out to independence for a day, that actually inspired you to this great achievement.
So credit where it's due please!
And as far as whether some people do or don't like you - who is it that in recent months had/will have certain people travel 3000kms specially to spend some time with you.
Don't worry, you can' win them all, just ry to win the importlant ones.
YAY! A "D" is always freaking fantastic, especially when you've crammed it! That's my secret anyway. Not that you should. Children, today's important lesson is be prepared. (but cramming works too!)
ReplyDeleteAnd I absolutely agree with vsquared... focus on the important ones, who are willing to suffer 6 sleepless nights, horribly cold weather, and travel thousands of kilometers just so they can visit you for a couple of days. But then don't listen to me I'm biased :)
11 sleeps to go...!
only a few other people think you are smart... they are the minority....
ReplyDeletejokes...
and a D is pretty bad... personally i get A+++++++++++++ for everything
