A new year, new promises to break

I've been so tired lately. It has just been one week since the school started again after the holidays and I'm already waving my white flag! No, but in all seriousness, I'm a good student. I pay attention and it shows, but not as much as I want. This year I got four really strong 5s (second best grade here in Norway, don't know about your countries), but does it really matter to me how strong or weak they are? No, because it won't show. My report card will say "science: 5", "math: 5", "history: 5" and "Norwegian: 5", not "math: really strong 5, almost 6". I understand that this is supposed to be a motivation from the teacher, to tell me how much potential I have, but honestly, at the moment it is just a kick in the stomach.

Right now we're having a really big project in my norwegian class. Read three books, take a situation and talk 20 minutes about it. My sister read three books and talked about the female main characters development through the book. Me….well, I read Moomin. Much simpler to read, but trust me…just as hard assignment. Do you have any idea about how hard it will be to get a good grade on something as simple as three child's books with just a bit over a hundred pages in them? But I will do my best, and get back to you guys when the project is over.

Do you guys have any new years resolutions? Myself, I have the usuals, eat healthier, exercise more, study more etc. The eating part, naaah….not so well. It's a process, and I'm slowly, SLOWLY working my way up the ladder. Exercising on the other hand, hahah, is going great. I now usually wake up at 4:20 am so I can have a 6:00 am workout before school and I've been feeling much better after I started doing that. But it's true what they say, the hardest part is the beginning. Once you're used to it, it's nothing anymore. The study part…I will let my summer grades decide on that :)
