Kept for My Occasional Nostalgia

Down streak

Academically, I just realized that I haven’t been able to turn up any good work since I was in England, and that was 10 months ago. 

I checked my grades, and they are kind of bleak. 

I checked how I did in my french exam, which I like the language and had spent quite some time reviewing with some very sincere dedication. It is a rather disappointing 82 out of 100. 

At this point a part of me (yes, there is always a smug part in me that never dies) just feels frustrated: the way I review and the way I approach my work hasn’t changed that much, then how come the outcome is turning south all of a sudden? I kind of shudder at the thought that “Oh my god, my brain is finally shedding its smart mask and revealing its true stupidity”. But again, the glib part of my spirit just doesn’t get it, ever. 

All in all, I’d really explain this downturn as an inevitable result of some meteor that has supposedly crossed the sky recently and stirred the earth’s magical smart energy filed…(yeah, listen to me, this person is crazy). Let’s just hope the water quiets down eventually.
