Mid Week Update

It's not really mid week anymore, but I'll fill you guys in since I'll be busy on weekends.
1. Don't study for three exams that are on the same day the night before. You can't do anything good. I hadn't really wanted to tell anyone, but oh well, I guess I paid for it.
2. Noticed a trend with my grades recently. At the beginning of the year, they're usually pretty high, a pluses and stuff. Second term, ok, a little lower, a's. Third term I'm bombing it. It's the low As and high Bs. I hate this. Fourth term, I'm completely in the B range. I can't get out of this pattern, no matter how hard I try! I study for three hours all night, and the end result is an eighty? What's wrong with me?
3. While some courses are following this trend, other grade averages are slowly getting better. This is what I hate about me. No matter what, I can't get out. Sigh, I hope it doesn't continue into later life during a mid life crisis.
4. I haven't been able to travel much lately. Not that I want to, but it would be nice to get out of the house once in a while.
5. I have a tournament on Friday about an hour away. I can't help but dread every time I go. Don't you just hate it when people pressure you to do things that you absolutely hate doing? Those are just some of the people who live under the same roof.
6. Tiredness can really bog you down. If you haven't read Journeys Through Tiredness, then you should read it to understand what I'm talking about.
7. Friends are good in down times. Check out my friends' blog at Beyond My Imagination and Sakura Manga. Their really cool and make me feel happy.
8. Tournaments shouldn't be on Fridays. They kill especially after a day outside of the house and listening to people talk about stuff you really don't want to know or learn about.
9. Never tell someone their fat. Doesn't matter what your religion/ethnicity believes. Don't ever tell someone outright that they're fat. Or look old. It's an insult to some, so be wary of where you tread.
10. Quotes are stupid. Some are funny, some are sad, most are stupid. That's why I have Stupid Quotes as our link of the day.

Now the QOD for Today is:

Did your grade average go through a phase like mine?
