2009

[spiderpig]

First day of 2009. Seems alright. I'm feeling courage gathering in the corners of my self right now. Hopefully they'll fill out the rest of me by the end of the month! Have faith, Alicia - you can do this! My friends-locked End of 2008 post was emo enough, I shall try to be cheerful now!



General Things

1. Raw CAP score of 4.6
2. Talk more in class (even if it's just nonsense!)
3. Be more impressionable (er, good impressionable) on the teachers. I must stop being a wallflower.
4. Talk to more people in lit class, so that I won't be friendless by the time I get to honours year. (I like the fact that I have to work and fight my way to honours year, and not have it handed to me on a silver platter. I am glad (although very tired) that I have to fight with an obscene amount of people for my grades. It makes me sad, but gives me a strange sort of satisfaction.)
