Escapism

pg movie chick flick
in a dark theatre
even a few laughs

then we walk outside
the sun hits our faces
and its back to real life.

Dear God

Could please stop the trials and tribulations, at least for a little while? Haven't we been through enough? How far are you willing to push us? We won't break, but we'll get awful close. Can you save the pain for another time, when we have a few less open wounds? Can you please spare the people who don't deserve the suffering? Can you just stop, for a little while? We can't take much more of this.

And if not, would you please help me get through the struggles, and help me help others who are struggling more than me?

sing us a song, you're the piano man
sing us a song tonight
cuz we're all in the mood for a melody
and

Pink Floyd

Is there anyone at home?

While the ivy grows over the door

The ringing of the division bell had begun

What have we found?

The same old fears

Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?

Of course momma's gonna help build a wall
I can't seem to think straight
Consumed by slow decay

I'm disappointed in you.

Normally you're my favorite. But today was unacceptable.

Us

We have such good times. You made me laugh so hard I cried today. Why are we so stinking cool? :)

AP Spanish Exam=no bueno.

My test was yesterday. It did not go well.

There were many technical difficulties that resulted in us sitting and waiting around for almost an hour before we started the test (I was in the luckier of the two groups--they had to wait MUCH longer than I did). All in all, it was HARD. I found that my mind was not in Spanish that day, and I had trouble keeping focus, understanding the listening portions, the reading sections (especially the fiction! The articles were not difficult) and vocab. I feel like I probably passed , but I did not do well. I did not do NEARLY as well as I could have.

That being said, I have come to these realizations:
1.) I am not a test score.
2.) Getting a bad grade on the AP Spanish test does not reflect on my ability to actually speak Spanish.
3.) Getting a bad grade on the AP Spanish test does not mean that I will never attain fluency in the language.
4.) Getting a bad grade on the AP Spanish test does not mean that I will be held back and have to repeat courses in the progression of my language courses--there are still placement tests to be taken!
5.) Getting a bad grade on the AP Spanish test does not mean that I will get no college credit for the years of class I have already taken in Spanish and does not mean that I am necessarily any further away from a minor in Spanish than I would have been otherwise.

Estoy libre. :)
