'Grown-up' and a bit smarter

I'm so sorry for being late, but I've been celebrating my birthday and making assignments the last couple of days so, I apologize. Now I'm finally 18 like Sidsel, and officially 'grown-up'. Yeah okay, I'm not really grown-up yet but I've learned one thing over the last couple of months: Remember to forgive yourself. This topic might seem similar to one of the things I've written about before but at this moment this is all I can think of and want to write about. To be honest I've been failing some of tests in school and some of my grades have been failing as well. I've been stressed, school, work, family-problems, friends, assignments and so on was simply too much. But now I've been 'fired' from work and started taking driving lessons I feel more free. Also I've forgiven myself for failing those classes because I was trying too hard. Instead I've turned these failures into motivation for me. If I can't keep focus or don't want to do my homework I just remember what happened and I'll make them right away. For example I've made my English assignment two-three weeks before I should hand it over and I even had the time to help out one of my friends with hers. Also another classmate of mine had trouble with some German and I even found time to give him some keywords, because I didn't want to make everything for him. Also I'm sleeping better at night. I've pulled myself together and I now read books again, oh man I've missed that.

And that's all I've to say for now. Remember children, it is okay to fail, as long as you only do it once and learn from it! Sille is out! (She has to bring cake with her today).
