Another Great Week.

Its been a long week. A very long week.

I've been fighting off this cold/flu thing that everybody seems to be getting, doing several hours of Physics, Pre-Calculus, and dual-enrollment homework most days, getting 5 hours of sleep each night, and finally taking the ACT today. My brain is gone. Just gone. 

Okay. Sorry. That's all my complaining out of the way at the beginning of the post. It was an incredibly long week, but it was a great one! Tuesday and Thursday were perfect, and Friday wasn't all that bad. I was proud of myself for being able to just brush off a couple of spiteful jokes the other girls made about me. Normally several of the things they said would have crushed me. It still hurts, but now I'm able to brush off most of their obnoxious comments and say, "Well it's their loss!" 

One thing that still bothers me though is my intense fear of class presentations. My AP Language teacher announced to the class that we have a presentation due in two weeks, and I almost died. My heart started pounding, I felt sick, and my hands started shaking. I don't think anyone other than my friend--who was seating right next to me--noticed. Seriously though, I don't know if its gotten worse or something because I talk about it more, but I've never gotten that freaked out just hearing about an assignment. Oh God help me. 

Alright, sorry, I'm kind of complaining again aren't I? I'm just petrified. Kids in my class hear me say this kind of thing, then laugh and say, "Oh you'll be fine!" I'm like, "No, seriously... I think I might puke." Still, the friend that noticed in class the other day told me that I could definitely practice in front of her first. She was very sympathetic to my irrational fear. She's such an extrovert, and she loves class presentations, so for her to acknowledge how I felt about it was very sweet. 

Overall, it was a great week. A long, exhausting week... but a great one.
