For the first month or so of school I didn't allow myself to watch TV or really do anything fun. This was great, I focused solely on school and did not let myself have any fun. Unfortunately, this weekend I made the mistake of watching TV, and then, the dam broke. I can't stop. Not only did I watch all the reruns of The Voice, Teen Mom, and Glee, I also went to the pumpkin patch and a wedding with my boyfriend. This weekend=school fail.
The point of this story is this... I got a B+ on my research methods midterm yesterday. That B+ has been haunting me for the past 24 hours. Every time I close my eyes it flashes before me. I asked one of my friends yesterday, "When did I turn into a mediocre student?" Last year an A- felt like failing and now I'm consistently doing an underwhelming job in school.
This isn't an "oh I'm so sad about my life" blog post. It's just a reality check. Life will never go back to how it was. I don't think I'll ever be a consistently A+ person again and that's a hard thing to accept. But I'm learning to deal with it. Case in point: I'm sitting here watching The Voice and eating ice cream. And I have a quiz tomorrow. Oh well, bring it on quiz, bring it on.
One last thing, grad school has turned me into a much crankier person. I find myself glaring at people and thinking about the many idiots in the world. I used to be so sweet and forgiving but not anymore. Here is a video that reminds me of myself:
