Wow, so THIS is what 10% effort looks like for my classes.
We got back our tests that we took for the “second round” of testing in the middle of the semester (I don’t like the word “Midterms” - it can make a grown man cry), and I was mildly surprised at the amount of effort that I put into studying this time around.
I mean, I put in more than my USUAL - open the book, say “Okay, I’m bored,” and shutting it.
For my Communications test, I received a 95% on the test, and for my Business Management class, I received an 80%!
Not bad…
It makes me wonder what 20% effort will look like.
Wow, did I really turn 21 years old today?
NOW I feel like an adult.
Things I have Accomplished in my 21 Years:
1. Moved into an apartment
2. Graduated Gradeschool
3. Graduated High School
4. Spent 2.5 years in the college of my choice in the major of my choice
5. Held 7 jobs (including my current one)
6. Lived with 2 people (1 semester each) in the dorms
7. Lived with 3 people in an apartment
8. Lived with my family for 18 straight years (An accomplishment…?) ;-)
9. Made friends
10. Saw the ocean (Several…thousand…times AKA Vacation)
11. Saw the tallest bridge in the world…and almost couldn’t cross it
12. Had 2 boyfriends, and 2 ex-boyfriends…
13. Held 1,754 e-mail accounts (that number is rounded up)
14. Been to Washington D.C. - twice
15. Many other things that I can’t think of go here…
Today was really nice - my parents sent me flowers at my work with a “Happy 21st Birthday!” balloon attached to it. I also received about 16,239 “Happy Birthday’s” from a LOT of people (Again that number is rounded up slightly) and I received many gifts as well. :-)
All in all it was a very nice birthday.
I think I got most excited when my parents took me out to Olive Garden and they were giving free wine samples away like it was candy. Anyways my mother and I both got some but the waitress carded me!
It was pretty sweet because when I turned 18 I was all happy to get carded when I got my first lottery ticket. And when I went to go get my lottery ticket when I turned 18…They didn’t card me. So I said “When I turn 21 I’d better be carded for my first drink.”
And I was.
And it was everything I thought it to be.
