Verona Tomorrow

First CC race of the season tomorrow. I really ought to be stretching and icing tonight, but I'm not going to. Not interested. Whatever happens, happens, and I think that the Reginator has a surprisingly chill view of the whole thing. As long as I'm under 20 I'm happy, under 19:30 would be excellent. Lower than that...I doubt it.

Mostly uneventful day. I'm getting concerned that all of my classes are just going to slip through my fingers. I've got a lock on Am Lit H now, and I don't think that Euro will be that bad, but we haven't had the first major round of tests yet. Chem feels good so far, but I'm waiting to get our quiz and lab back before I pass judgment on the class. AP Calc is what concerns me...sort of. I can't really figure out what I need to do to get decent grades on homework, but at the same time I don't know what a decent grade level is in the first place. Hylkema doesn't have anything about it on his website, though he did make allusions to the fact that percentages are going to be slightly lower than they would normally. I doubt that it's on the level of Chem, but I'd like to see what it's really like as well as find out what I need to do to get a good grade on my homework. The group project/test today was very easy, and I feel pretty good about the test that we took yesterday - I certainly know the concepts, it's just a question of whether I handled the actual math well enough. The last Latin quiz was atrocious, but I think I'll be able to get a handle on things as long as I don't mess up too much between now and when I relearn all of the grammar that we were supposed to have learned last year but didn't. So it's really not all that bad when I look at it like that, but I still can't help shaking the feeling that I'm losing my grip on my grades, and at the same time becoming emotionally shallow and derelict and whatnot. Not gonna dwell on that last point a lot, but I feel like I ought to be more...I don't know...upset about past events, and I'm not. It's not that I'm over them, I've just got a really cool attitude toward them and it kinda worries me.

In other news, the WCATY-Edgewood essay is progressing nicely, though it takes me three and a half pages to get to my main point and I still really haven't driven into it that much. Part of it is just that there really isn't a whole lot that I feel like I need to say about it; I don't want to labor the point - I'm going to come off as a huge ass anyway, no need to exacerbate that.

So now time for sleep and then running...Ugh.
