Great Expectations

You may have thought that this post would be based on a Charles Dickens novel, but you were wrong. DEAD WRONG! Actually unless you're studying Brit Lit like me that probably wasn't your first insinct. We all have expectations. This week has been filled with unmet expectations. I expected to get a perfect score on my last physics quest (quiz+test...good one prof. yonhog) and while I did better than my usual I was still disappointed. I expected a friend to do one thing and he did the complete opposite. I expected to have a kick-butt work out on Tuesday. I was really looking forward to some much needed stress relief and while the exercises were difficult (try doing a plank on only one arm and one leg...ouch) I wasn't totally satsified at the end. Then there's bigger and broader expectations lik expectations for a class, an audition (I have 2 or 3 coming up... :O), or even friends. So from now on I'm going to try to avoid expectations. Not in a cynical/pessimitic way just in a realist/down to earth way. And I'm going to need all the grounding I can get to make it throughthe rest of High School. But to turn this post around I'll comment on some events that have recently exceeded my expectations. Things like Sunday's jog, Tuesday's voice class, today's cappuchino, or today's episode of "The Office" (I loved the RENT parody). It's the little things that keep me going :D
