intimidated.

I finished writing my commencement speech today, and submitted it into the pool for review. Though I spent quite a bit of time workshopping it, I'm still concerned that it's not the best I could've made it--even after taking it to the school's writing lab.

But then again, I'm confident I'll at least make it to the five-speech round where I'll read the speech in front of a board of teachers alongside four other students. I can't say exactly why.

I mean, compared to the other students submitting speeches, my performance at school has been... mediocre. Like I've mentioned previously on here, though I had the ability to succeed at school, I didn't really ever fully seize it in favor of more personal (but equally intellectually stimulating) pursuits. I'm not talking about personal nuclear reactors or that kind of shit. I'm talking about learning how to write music, learning higher level math just for fun, and learning how to code. All the stuff that never really gets recognized on any transcripts or manuscripts.

And maybe it's hubristic to think that my speech might actually have a touching message when compared to the rest. Honestly, I'm intimidated by the other classmates who've I heard might be submitting speeches. They're all part of Cum Laude and stuff. I never made it into Cum Laude because I foolishly valued studying music more than my GPA. It's not a mistake I regret, though sometimes I do wish I'd discussed it with my Music Theory teacher more.

...okay, so I might be the only one out of the pool of speech writers who's taken that Music Theory class. I suppose I'm extraordinary in that aspect.

But, in the end, what does that really mean? That's not as extraordinary as extraordinary grades or transcripts.

I didn't really put forth all the effort I should've in the rest of my classes.

All these other kids have grades and transcripts superior to mine, grades and transcripts that could've easily been my own had I put in that little bit of extra effort. But, again, I just didn't feel like doing that extra effort when I'd devoted my "extra effort" to my own personal pursuits.

The speeches aren't even judged based on grade history.

For now, I'm assuming they're judged as blindly as possible for qualification into the final round.

That doesn't change the fact that I'm intimidated.

After having written my speech.

It doesn't even matter that I'm intimidated.

...I'm back in that silly little purgatory I was in when I thought it'd be fun to apply to MIT--

I know I'm probably going to get rejected, but now that I've submitted a speech, there's still that glimmer of a chance that it might be accepted.

...and in a weird sort of way, I'm kind of proud to claim that I was rejected from MIT.

Sure, *anyone* can get rejected from MIT... but not everybody does. There's a million people who never tested their chance at getting into MIT.

Likewise, I suppose I'll look back on having submitted a speech, even if it gets rejected, since I'll still be thankful that I submitted a speech instead of living a life of "what if I had...".

So, am I intimidated?

Of course.

Can that intimidation detriment me in any speech-related way right now?

Nope.

It's almost as if the intimidation exists just to mess with me mentally.

Oh well. The final five speeches will be announced next Friday, I believe.

I suppose I've got something to wait for again, then.

From here to next week. To hell with what transcripts are supposed to mean. I had fun.

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.

#Like on a personal note I was in robotics in high school #And all the other kids were juniors and seniors and also male #And they would bully me so bad for liking anything remotely girly or being emotional #And I was really trying to earn their respect because I wanted to captain next year #And the only way I felt I could do that was by supressing everything #And I remember relating so hard to Annabeth and being jealous of her because she acted basically the way I did #But nobody thought she was dumb or not worth leading a quest because of it #like yes percy bullies her a little lol but at the end of the day he doesn't question her wisdom #pjo show crit #annabeth chase #pjotv spoilers

the 150% of the courseload thing for multiclassing sucks, by the way. especially since aguefort is a school where you’re set up to be in an adventuring party. you should not be punished with an insane workload to help round out your party. it should be harder, sure, but not impossible. balance that shit based on level distribution

#this is NOT a comment or complaint on how the game is being run it’s a comment on how schools work and shouldn’t work #kids should just be allowed to explore options in high school and be allowed to be kids!!#dimension 20 #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy #this is also def just triggering to me since i gave myself an untenable workload junior and senior year of high school #(my school had 4 classes a semester. senior year i was in 3 APs and a dual enrollment class)

Here's to us chronically ill/disabled people who couldn't finish school because of our health. We're not lesser people for it, and we aren't weak for it either. We have inherent value as people, education or not.

#I almost dropped out of high school my senior year due to endometriosis #and then I DID drop out of college #disability #chronic illness #spoonie #chronic pain #actually disabled

Highly recommend adopting an underclassmen. My underclassmen and I feed eachothers delusions, were eachothers therapists, and we complain about people not even close to our age together, and honestly it's amazing

Committed.

It felt like I'd never land on anything. It felt like I'd always be stuck going back and forth on which school to attend next year.

I don't fully know why I finally decided on the one I picked.

They've got massive support programs for students like me, as well as an emphasis on both the arts and the sciences.

I suppose that's enough justification, then.

It's hard to imagine that just four months ago I had no idea where I'd be spending the next four years.

But now... here I am. Waiting out the rest of senior year and anticipating the uncertain certain future.

How quickly times change.
