in crummy modeone year and one day ago, i still remember that night clearly.
it's nice to know that i've grown up and moved on since then. 19, bursting with life and energy. reckless and impulsive and always rushing headlong into things (i am, sort of, still like that). things have slowed down lots now. that said, i am glad for everything, all experiences good and bad, because they have shaped who i am and the way i think, and i believe that self development is important without which our lives would be in stasis and we'd be stuck in a rut.
earlier tonight i was upset with the grade i'd received for the newspaper redesign assignment that i'd spent many late nights completing (see posts below). i was actually really pleased with the final product and i'd put alot of thought into it, especially the details. i did alotta tweaking and experimenting to make it look good, did as much as i could to put in good photo captions, headlines and blurbs and well basically i flunked that portion majorly...
when i saw the breakdown of my grades i just wanted to cry. in fact thinking about it now i want to. it sucks, thinking about the effort which has gotten trashed. perhaps my work really does deserve to be trashed, but i was confident of what i was doing and i felt good about it as the days progressed. it being the final assignment i wanted it to be the best and i must say it's the most work i've done all semester. so i'm not happy with just scraping through.
sigh. it's the weekend...time to move on to happier things and not mope about this.
