Makes You Stronger

The rapid succession of questions for this prompt makes me feel almost as overwhelmed as this school year has made me feel (actually no where near but it does prompt similar feelings). Last year I remember hearing that Junior year was the hardest one, which might be true, though I can't say until I'm out of high school. What I do know for sure is that it's the hardest one so far. My classes were much more difficult this year than ever before and it's also the first year of high school where I have gotten more than one B (two, for the record) and that was in the first semester of this year. Calculus has been one of the most baffling things ever and as such it was one of my B's last semester; the other one was Spanish, which is hardly a surprise either, since Spanish tends to be one of my worst subjects.

As I try to think over my possible successes, absolutely nothing comes to mind. I'm sure there was something that I was successful at, though I can't remember anything large enough for it. It's not that I see this year as a failure in itself, more so that it proved to me yet more so that I am just incredibly mediocre. I do know where this problem comes from, though, and I plan to improve on that next year. I appear to have contracted an advanced form of senioritis, but as I have already had my brush with it, I hope to be immune to it next year and try to improve then.

How am I gonna do that? Well I'm still puzzling over that a bit, but I suppose the best way to go about it would be to get off the internet and actually do some studying for once. That might be a good start.

I only talked about school work, and that's how I'm gonna leave it. I honestly couldn't adequately sum up my junior year socially, if only because I have no idea how it compares to other years. (Sounds weird, I know, but I promise that it's just that I don't know how to judge how bad it is in the moment). I would want some form of objective view, and I can't say I have that yet. But I've had good and bad turns, socially, so I can't say it was completely one direction or the other.

But hey, I'm still here? And probably better off than some people. Maybe.
