Ridiculous
It may sound strange, but I cannot fully remember anything today except for the moment after the English essay. I walked into Calculus today and immediately, I could feel the stress radiating off of all of the AP English students. As I began to gain some of these uncomfortable feelings within myself, I pondered on why we all seemed to feel the heaviest weight on our shoulders. Only one word came to my mind. Essay. I continued to unconsciously listen to Mr. Maas's lecture on sequences, but found my mind to be wondering elsewhere. My eyes fell upon that huge stack of papers. These paper just sat waiting, and waiting for me to memorize all contents of it's pages. I continued my day in complete frustration. At times when you need to remember the most you can, everything seems to become lost and forgotten. By fifth period, I continued to stare at the endless stack of papers hoping that everything would go smoothly during english class the next period. Now, looking back on my stressful day, I realize the ridiculousness of my worries. I wasted a whole day stressing for an assignment that lasted about forty minutes. In the long run, everything ends up okay. I have come to realize that I waste more time stressing then actually focusing and getting my work done. I can only hope that next essay, I will have the same attitude as I do at this moment. It could save me alot of time.

ReplyDeleteI stress too much about these essays too. I even said the other day that I would rather do another data sheet in one night than do the in class essay. I do not know what it is about them, but they somehow stress me out way too much! Also, other students probably think we're all insane. I was going down the hallway screaming random quotes like "EAT IT GOGOL! AT YOUR AGE I ATE TIN!" It probably confused and concerned many students, but screaming out these quotes actually helped me to feel less stressful. And now it's all over! But don't worry, we can start stressing about the next data sheet,,,January 7th will come sooner than we think!
