Long Time No Read

Hey all. It's been a while hasn't it :)
I just randomly felt inspire to write a blog post so here I am again.

So I'll try to catch you up on some of the happenings in my life. I'll start with fall semester of 2010.

I was taking 3 classes. Math, Reading 142, and Golf. In the beginning I was enjoying all of them. But then I started to fall behind in Math (which was really irritating because I'm usually pretty good in math) because I had to focus ALL my time on Reading 142. I was stressing out over it!
So here's what happened next...

There was this project that I had to do all by myself because my joint partner in the class had dropped. I had to pretend to be the Executive Director of a Nonprofit Organization of my choosing. So I was trying to figure out what I wanted to pick as my nonprofit. So I picked Human Trafficking. That is a definite growing problem in the world! We most certainly need to be more aware of it! Anyways, I found a nonprofit whose purpose was to bring awareness and stop human trafficking.

So I worked really hard on this project because I felt passionately about it! We had to make a presentation with a PowerPoint and everything. So I did. I knew that I didn't speak out to well and spoke really fast so that people couldn't even understand what I was saying (I was supppper nervous! I hate public speaking!) and I also realized that I didn't do the powerpoint correctly, the way she wanted it. So I was trying to prepare myself for a C or even a D. Guess what I got............. I got and F! Can you believe it!?! It was just plan ridiculous! She put a little note telling me to come see her in her office and I was like "How am I suppose to feel like I can even pass this class now?!" (from the beginning this class has been hard. Not just for me, but everyone in the class thought she was hard.) This was a community college, reading 142 class! This is not supposed to be THAT hard. Yes it's supposed to be somewhat hard, but not ridiculous!

So I figured out that I could drop with a withdrawal. So when I got home I spoke to my mom and Rachel about it and they strongly suggested that I drop the class. I felt like a failure. I have never gotten anything less then an overall A when a class was over and here I got and F on an assignment, and then I dropped. I felt like a complete and utter failure! But now I know differently. I still don't feel all that great about the whole thing, but I'm slowly getting over it:)

Wow. I've typed a lot. I think I'm done for now. But I'll maybe I'll feel inspired to blog again soon:) Then I'll catch you all up on more.
