Rebel With a [good] Cause

I've decided to stop writing my portfolio on Anne Hutchinson because I fear that I may go insane if I continue. It's funny how I'm slightly interested in becoming a journalist, but I hate writing these reports. I guess the difference is, I'm not really interested in writing about Anne being a rebel. She's cool and I'm all for rebels with a good cause, but it's hard to write about. I'm never sure exactly what my teachers are looking for so I always doubt myself.

I wish we could just write essays like writing blogs. It's just emotion and flows way better. Trotter said that everyone did pretty bad on the DBQ's. I thought I was going to get a 6 or 7 but I actually got a 5. maaan. I earned the highest score though, so I guess that's pretty cool.

Mom keeps saying I'm doing a really good job and working hard, but shouldn't be so hard on myself. The problem is, I spend most of my time slaving over homework and seem to still do really really well, but I want to be on like Brian and Jackie's level. I use to be that "smart girl" in like elementary school. I still am i guess since I'm ranked 3 or 4 in my class, but I'm my hardest critic. I never feel like I shine like I should because I feel overshadowed by others.

I can't wait for my tour at The Academy of Art University in SF tomorrow though. It's going to be a lot of fun to walk around the spread out campus and see the actual photography department. I hope I succeed in this whole photography thing. I don't know what else I'll do which is a scary thought. I always change my mind, but I want to stick to this one.
