"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Midterms!

The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want.

Want to hear again my most repeated line?! I hate French. There ya go. We'll just get that out of the way. Today I had a rolling final in my British Literary History class. It was mostly about sonnets and lyric poetry-I think I did okay. I hesitate to say well because even when I think I do well... I don't :)

Then I came home and studied for a while and went to the testing center for my second grammar midterm... ya, I did better than last time! Still got a, um, F? Ya, I suck. And I even checked all my answers and thought I new what I was doing. Oh well. The final isn't for a month and a half so I'll study then. I think my French homework has further ruined my test taking skills. I get two chances to try every assignment-so I just guess on the first and whatever way is right I fix the rest. Haha, not so with tests!

I then walked out of the testing center, around to the other entrance, and went in to study for my French test. And, my MP3 Player decided to die. Well, the battery was over half and then it would all the sudden freak out and die. I turned it on several times with such results. I did get a few songs out of it! Pretty sure I flunked. And I have never spent so long in the testing center in one day... or taken two tests there in the same day.

So, I'm ready for the weekend. I get to go home! And yesterday was fantastic! My boyfriend came to see me! Wonderful night away from my apartment and homework and everything. Haha, and of course I love being with him!
