So, here I am sitting in front of my computer, when I should be tackling the mountain of housework that needs to be done. I am glad I have the day off from work, though. It is such a beautiful morning, that it seems like such a shame to waste it inside, but there is so much to be done. And yet, I still sit in front of my computer.
I have gotten my school work done for the day, which is good. I am off to a bumpy start in my history class and I was getting quite discouraged. I had quite a few points docked off my first couple of assignments, and was not sure what I was doing wrong. A couple other issues were bothering me as well, and I finally took my concerns to my instructor. I think we might be on the same wavelength, and in the meantime, I realized that what was really bothering me was the fact that my 4.0 might be ruined because of this class. I am currently getting a B, which is a very respectable grade, but it's not an A and I realized that was the core of my issues. I finally accepted that I need to let go of my pride, and in the big scheme of things, my 4.0 is really not that important. Five years from now, no one will care whether I had straight As, or As and Bs.
I also realized that I will come across a lot of people that will be difficult to please and the main thing is that I keep a positive attitude and do my best. That is really all I can do. And if I am confident in the fact that I have put my best effort forward I can take pride in that, and not worry about the grade that might come along with it.
Anyway, off I go now to do more domestic things. Until next time!
