Finals and Compliments

Finals... I put this in the dreariest color I could... Gray... I see many of my friends writing about it, so hey, why not, right?

So the school went through all this trouble to make a nice little schedule for the finals, of which most teachers that I have aren't following. For example, the schedule goes
JUNE...
17- 6th period
18- 1st period
21- 2nd and 3rd period
22- 4th and 5th period
23- 7th period

BUT, this is how I'm taking them

End of May- 6th period
June 8th- 2nd period
June 16th- 7th period

Everything else is the same, except 3rd period doesn't really have a final...And I was excused from doing my 2nd period exam. :D So technically, I've taken 3 exams... 3 more to go.  Although, unlike my friends, I honestly don't mind the finals. Finals mean end of the year. Finals mean only 4 hours instead of 7. Finals means no homework. Finals mean grade boosters. Finals aren't that bad.

But then again, I love everything so hmm...

On a totally unrelated subject, my friend has brought it to my attention that my complimenting system doesn't work out. I tend to compliment guys more than my female friends because I think that guys don't get enough compliments, and I'm afraid that they might go screw themselves over because no one gave them a compliment.

And then I complimented a female friend of mine and she informed me that that was the nicest thing someone told her in forever... Which shocked me because I always assumed that she'd get lots of compliments... GASP! AN UNEXPECTED SHOCKER! So now, I've re thought my complimenting system. You can't get enough compliments. Unless your ego's about to leak through your ears, I bet most people could use sincere compliments, regardless of how many they already get.

So, lesson of the story, give out compliments, spread the love, and brush off what others think.

(Another friend informed me earlier this year that I apparently flirt w/ almost everyone I know because I try and make feel loved by me. Oops...Not exactly what I was going for, but as long as people feel loved, I'm good. :D)

On the topic of COMPLIMENTS though, here's another lesson. Soak up compliments. Don't brush them off. I know so many people who would deny anything good said about them. I used to do that too...And then I got annoyed when people would be like, "Nah, I'm not pretty." or "Hahaha...you're kidding, right?" or "I'm not that _____!"

Seriously? If someone takes the energy to tell you something nice,  it's probably true. If you brush it off, you're not absorbing the compliment. And if you don't absorb it, you might as well be a complimentless person. Which is baaaddd for a self-esteem. And your self-esteem loves you! You should love it back. :D

Lesson of this story: Love yourself. :D

Recap!

1.) Finals aren't that bad.
2.) Give lots of sincere compliments
3.) Love yourself.
4.) Don't blog at 11:14 pm the night before you have your hardest final.

Oh yeah.

SMILE!

Sappy End of the Year

Smile!

You know what I LOVE about the end of a school year? It's so freakin sappy. Especially with 3/4 of your friends going to different schools, everyone's nice to each other and drama gives way to happy friendships. The dance was a prime example of a sappy end of the year...And the days following it will hopefully be awesome...

And the best part is, no matter how bad your year was, the last couple days make you think, "Hey, this year wasn't that bad...I got friends, don't I?"

I think...that there should be a reunion thing... My elementary school has a reunion thing, so I can keep in touch with my friends...But otherwise...

Maybe I'm being naive (I probably am), but right now, I feel like my generation (my grade/ my year, what every you call it) is like a big happy family...and I can't wait to stalk...I mean find everyone in 20 years. :)
