Balance Beam

I am taking Math, Spanish, INQ , English, and of course History since that’s my major. My mid term grades were not what I expected, I was planning on pulling off straight B’s and a possible C in math since I am really really bad at math. When I went online to check my midterms, I found that I had A’s in every class but math, where I found my expected C. At first I was really excited and proud to have pulled off such good grades, but then I got nervous. With my parents knowing these grades I know they are going to want to see me keep them.

So far I have been doing my homework between classes and spending crazy hours every night, like five hours on homework, and following a rigorous schedule I have made for myself. I hate that; I have been obsessing over my grades because I don’t want to waste my money on an education not to be the best. But it is cutting into my social life and I am going to ease up on being a home work nazi and start focusing more on my social life, I am going to have to create a nice balance between the two.

My goal is to accept my math grade, which I have. I spend the most time on my homework for that calss, and if all that can bring me is a C that’s fine. It is one semester and then it is done. I am going to create a balance between social life and school and I am going to keep up my grades. How will I do this? I am not 100% sure, by trial and error, but so far its just me making my schedule more flexible.
