kyrasantaeI heard that the only place in Canada that's having any good weather right now is over here. Back home there was a thunderstorm warning for at least the second day in a row and potential tornado weather and stuff. I bet it rained a lot lately.
Part of me doesn't want to know how I did on the English exam because my personal writing section wasn't completely on topic and is a little bit on the obscure train of thought and rambling side. I mean, the topic may have been determination and one of the texts was about a girl who was supposed to be interpreted as being determined to hide the reality of nursing school from her parents instead of becoming an artist like they thought she'd want to be, to assert her independence, most people would write some motivational speech. Anyone who knows me well (or have read my earlier journals, if I write about the topic at all) would know that I hate motivational speeches. They're so rah-rah. So why would I write something so typical? I kinda went off on the hiding things from parents tangent and wrote about why that is necessary for everyone at some point to gain independence. Then I can't remember if I mentioned that it takes a lot of energy to keep that up and lots of determination to persist despite what other things befall you because of it. It's not really a force to put myself back on the main topic but a necessary part of the discussion, so I hope they saw it as that. In other stuff, I don't care what I got on SS. I'm sure I did well. On the other hand, some of those crazy SSIB kids (who are accustomed to writing 3 essays in 2.5 hours) who wrote more than the answer booklet had answer pages for...who knows, more isn't always better if they don't write it in the ridiculous and bland format the rest of us are taught. I'm still glad I didn't have to remember as much as they did and do as much synthesizing as they did for their exams.
