How I hate humble pie.

I just got another exam back on which I was hoping to do better. It's not particularly comforting to hear that the whole class did badly; no matter how badly they did, it was curved. Some people got As and I was not one of them. Once again, I wish I was comfortable with mediocrity. That would be totally achievable. I think the problem is that in the past, it took comparatively little effort to make me seem like I was working harder than I was. It's not really happening anymore.

At least I'm not being passive about school anymore. I'm going to work really hard this term and I'm meeting up with my professors to find out what I need to do to pull up my socks. It should be informative. Wish me luck! And wish me a work ethic... that'd actually be more useful.

The boat you ride in is quite familiar to me... I did absolutely horrid this past semester (horrid in a way a brainiac like you couldn't imagine! ;) ) and I need to get my life straightened out again. Good luck girly, I know you can do it!
