things that u are not used to
There are certain things that you are not used to; there are certain things that you would not expect; there are certain things that you would dread…. Well, these things happened to me today and throughout last week
Nobody likes getting bad grades, especially almost no Asians like getting bad grades (or maybe it’s just a stereotype). I think…. i may be quite an extreme case of not wanting bad grades. I do not think i am obsessed with grades because i realize that there is so much more to life than grades, studying, and college, but i care about my grades. I really do. I fear that some might think that i am a super nerd, that i am a typical Korean student that lives and dies for grades, and that i am a shortsighted person who stresses too much on what is in front of me. But since i know that at least I am not the first two kinds of people i have to speak!!! for the sake of my mental health.
i am really really really disappointed by my grade…All of my makeup tests gave me considerable (NO, MAJOR) shock. Half of the problem was that i was unprepared and half of the problem was that i was in a terrible condition…at least i think. Other than these reasons…..there may be so many other factors that contributed to making my week just shocking.
The thing that bums me out more is that last week was the end of the third quarter and my tests dropped average 4 points for 3-4 subjects……..this is really depressing.
Actually, i was writing this post 2 days ago and had to save this temporarily, so i do not exactly feel like how i used to feel so it’s hard to write with the emotion that i used to feel. In nutshell, i guess what i want to say is…i am really sad because of my grades really just fell down…not just went down but fell down

Hey, you really stressed the words that Jennifer suggested. As for me, I can feel your emotion since I was there when you were expressing that emotion lols. I’m sure things will get better and I don’t believe you are a “super nerd” or a “typical Korean student.”
