| Lesson Learned |
I learned a very good lesson today.
Since freshman year, I've been known to stress and worry like a maniac. It's not just big things; it's the little things too. I can toss and turn for hours at night thinking about random things like a test I didn't do so well or even if I had misplaced my jacket in a classroom and forgot to grab it. I hated that. I hated wasting my time fretting when I know it will do me no good at the moment.
Just last night, I worried over my schedule. I worried and worried and worried. I was such a mess.
I was concerned about the accuracy of my schedule and the tedious process of correcting it if it was wrong. But above all that, I wanted AP Art. I've never wanted a class so awfully in my life. But somehow, I just knew it wasn't going to end up on my schedule.
Today I got my (unofficial) schedule, and guess what? No AP Art! (Gee, I should be a psychic. ) It was a real bummer. And in addition to having No AP Art, I was also missing an A Period! D: I was close to stressing again and then, before I did, I stopped myself.
I realized: I stressed so much last night about this schedule and look where it's gotten me. So I decided to try osmething new: stop stressing so much and move on. I thought, maybe if I did this, things will have time to get into place gradually. And, believe it or not, good things do come for those who wait.
I did the best I've ever done in the drill down today. I saw someone I haven't seen for a long time again. Movies at the park , for once, didn't feel so bad. My transcripts from CCC came in today. And lastly: I found out that AP Art wasn't in 4th period like Symphonic Band as last year worked; it was 2nd period this year! This means I still have a chancel!
So I learned today that stressing is normal, but one can only do so much. Nobody likes to worry and stress. (think about those wrinkles on your forehead!) Do as little as possible and move on. I know sometimes it seems like worrying is all you can think about in a bad situation, but will it solve your problems? Will it make everything better? Will you be directed to the right answer immediately? No! But there is one thing it does do: make you worry more than you ever have.
I don't think I can personally stop from stressing completely, but I will try to loosen up. I'm so high-strung sometimes, it even annoys myself. And if good things will just happen on its own, I'm not in ayway stopping it from happening. :)
PS: Tonight was a good night to look at stars. |

Ah, that's the spirit! Stress is no fun. :[
On my schedule, I'm missing Symphonic Band and a sixth period, which is kind of more confusing than it is stressing. xD

About Me: I am an odd person. I'll admit it because I can't really figure out who I am exactly. I think that's what life is partially about: figuring out who you really are, that, and happiness. I don't think many do find out who they really are in the end, but make a marvelous journey trying. I think that's beautiful. Frankly, I don't really want to find that one word or thing that would describe me perfectly. I think I'll just sit along with the ride and let everything just roll as it goes. I'm a very spontaneous person.
