This whole week, rather the two days of school that I had,  had got me biting my nails, as I was immensely stressed and anxious. This is understandable considering that you can’t just throw a category 5 hurricane in the mix of everything going on at school, and expect me to pretend like it’s just another day at the office. Hence, I am now constantly tense, and my optimism has suffered. Besides feeling overwhelmed by the monstrosity that is Hurricane Irma, my grades haven’t been doing well recently. For example, this past Tuesday, I was given back my Physics Quiz, only to be slapped in the face by a very bad grade. At this moment, I felt very stupid, and lost all hope that I would have good grades from then on out. I felt that I was a lost cause, thus my confidence wavered a bit as well. Additionally, when I went home that day, I began my Physics homework, which I understood nothing of. Everything seemed very confusing and I felt that I should give up, so I got a bad grade that homework too. Therefore, at this point, things are not looking good for me, and my grades, in Physics at least, are not looking up. I digress, this hurricane is stressing me out to no end, and all that keeps going through my head are negative thoughts about the worst that is to come. Although the hurricane has not yet come by Miami, I have a slight inkling of a feeling that it will, and I feel very unprepared (which is a very pessimistic thing to say, but oh well  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this melodramatic walk-through of my week. :)

  1. Hey Lauren,
    So I totally feel you about physics. Science has never been my strong suite and I fear that I am not getting better at all. I do sit with you so if anything we can try to help each other out as much as we can. I'm also good to help you as much as I can in anything else because we'll probably end up being good friends. Do holler at me if you need anything. I also hope that this hurricane doesn't come too harshly for us because that would be very unfortunate but I urge you to keep calm and keep your hopes up. This is mostly because no matter what gets thrown out way we will always be able to find a way out:) I hope everything's good too.
