What I've been up to
It's been a while since I updated anything on this blog yet. The reason for this has to be because writing a paper has always been my way with writing. I was listening to one of the songs on my playlist called "Breakeven" by the Script. It's one of my favorite songs and when I heard it, my blog automatically popped in my head, because that is the first song that plays when people open up my page. I never abandoned this sight because no matter how much I choose to neglect it, it's something of my own that I can share with the world. Not that I haven't found time for this, but with my diary as well.
My life grows busier day by day. I have sports, lots of homework(not a good mix) and I end up never allowing time with my family. Another disadvantage is that i'm slow. I really don't want to put myself down anymore, cause lately, that's all I do. If I fail, I am hard on myself, like most people. But I tell myself, "you'll come around, look how far you've gotten in life.
I'm really grateful for all I have, and my parents raised me to be a good kid. I've always been the quiet one who always does her work in class. I still do. It's a habit to usually not talk in class because i always thought work was important. What still lingers in my mind is that how come i've come only this far? I could be doing better. I should already be setting goals for college, and all i have done so far is pondered of the things I want to be when I grow up. Writer yes. But what is my plan B? Sports..? Won't get that far in sports if i'm female. I like singing, but I don't think I have the right voice for it. If I do, nobody has told me. So, scratch that off the list. Yeah, and i know I worry too much, but I'm almost at the point where I could drive to and focusing on so many things at a time is one of my weak spot.
Why i'm writing about this? I don't know. Maybe because i have been so worried lately, I just had to release the anxiety somewhere. See, when I really have to do something, it bothers me until I do it. Not sure if anybody else feels that kind of pressure on them, but it's this huge burden that doesn't leave my mind.
I have been reading a book for my English project called Wuthering heights. It's a great book so far, a little challenging because of the high vocabulary, but it's comprehendable. I've heard about the movie, but never seen it. Anyways, after I started reading that, I realized that I need to read a lot more books. I've seen an improvement in my writing after I read a paragraph or so from it. One night i read like, 20 pages of it, and the next day, I was on a writing spree for a lack of better words. Well, I realize reading will help me become a better writer..i'll update some more soon. :) Alicia <3
