Heather's 2014 academically

"Used to be a major scale
But the melody went stale,
Musical cacophony let
Insy Winsy spider free.

[...]

Could never tell you what happened
The day I turned seventeen,
The rise of a king and the fall of a queen,
Oh, seventeen,
Seventeen."

"Seventeen" - Marina And The Diamonds

 

It was actually harder than that...

If someone asked me how 2014 would be in 2013, I would have answered it could never ever get worse so 2014 had to be better... Well, no. I could never imagine what was waiting for me after that innocent first term when I first failed a subject: Geography, concretely.

So that hopeful new year started actually quite well: it seemed I was going to fix my year and end up 3rd of ESO like a pro... Nothing further from reality: that second term brought me an even more complicated situation with two failed subjects: even though I had retaken Geography, Catalan and P.E. were now trying to make me give up and actually doing so, as it was proven in the third term, when Geography, Arts and P.E. sent me to retakes in September.

So the nice part of 2014 started for me in June. Holidays, sun, beaches, some retake homework; basically, summer. But that summer was actually good: though I couldn't use computers, I spent really good moments with my Wii and I actually discovered doing homework CAN be nice! I must confess most "My World" entries on this blog come from thoughts from the so mentioned summer.

After those three months of finetune.com (which has unfortunately stopped working) for Wii, Geography homework and plastic arts a new hope shined beyond my eyes: 4th of ESO! That was my chance! So it was a really good first term, full of great moments with old and new friends and... this blog! It was all perfect, everything was going awesome... until that week... Yeah, the first week of December completely wrecked the last shards of academic self esteem I had, and I actually ended up failing Spanish and Catalan.

But now I know what I can do to avoid this happening again: now I know the price of my mistakes and where they come from. I WILL end up 4th of ESO like the pro I really am and nothing is going to keep me from doing so!
