Day 36---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally got 15 min of down time. Let's see how fast I can type. I almost had a breakdown after SST meeting today because I got my first referral because my area of the dorm was dirty. BUT, I did mop! It was the other girl who didn't sweep and that's why it looked like poop. I've been stretched so thin the past few days between K.P., studies, and Rec Duty (I'm running for Rec president, don't know if I told you), that that one referral just totally topped me off. I have an absolute clean record. I'm always on time, I always do my job, and I know how to prioritize. Anyway, after I almost burst into tears, one of the other girls stood up for me, saying she saw me do my job and everything was sorted. Whew!
During K.P. I have two breaks; one 2 hrs, and one 3 hrs. And instead of going to the dorm like most of the kids, I go to education. Everyone calls me Miss. Over-Achiever. I don't really mind. I feel like I'm setting a good example. Everyone knows that I didn't officially complete the 7th grade and that I'm the youngest student on campus. I figure people will get so jealous because I have come of the highest scores in G.E.D. that they will push themselves to do better. We shall see.
P.S.
Don't worry mom, I'm not burning out. I'm just getting started :-) Right now I'm the center of attention, and being the flaming Aries I am, I'm absolutely LOVING it - even though it means I have to push everything I have to the highest potential.
Thank you everyone for your support.
Thanks for the note on the blog. Sounds like your really on fire there. I'm so proud!
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting to hear if you'll be available next weekend Oct 22nd-24th. Ready for some down time?
When I hear that your running for an election position, I just want to remind you that politics is a totally different game from the ambitious journey you've been undertaking. You've been working so incredibly hard, making great grades, and following all the rules but just remember that the teachers are not the ones who are going to be voting. Politics is more of a popularity contest.. Its all about being friends with the right people, and doing favors and kissing butt! As much as you might DESERVE the position, don't be disappointed if you don't get it. Those are two very different things.
I Love you babe, keep up the good work!
