Diaries Of A Dream Queen

I’m suffering temporarily with a condition called “writers block.” It’s basically where the writer “loses the ability to produce work.” I guess I’m exaggerating when I say I have writer’s block, but honestly this is what it feels like. I absolutely love writing. I successfully attained a distinction in the English Language so whenever I feel like I don’t give my best, it sucks! Guess many of us feel that way at times. To be honest when I wrote the subject as a private candidate, I did not get a distinction I got a three! I was like “Me?? Three!! Uh uh! NOOO WAY! These people MUST BE TRIPPING!” I figured it was a HUGE MISTAKE and it must be IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED. ‘Lol’. (Of course that was just the drama queen in me.) I was so surprised! I mean I topped the English class almost every time and if not I’d rank in the top three and this paper is saying I got a “three??” Pfft! Lol.

Deep in my heart, I knew I hardly studied, so I had no one to blame but myself. My mom constantly reminded me that even if I’m good, that does not mean I should not practice but I had my head up in the clouds because I thought I was “Mrs. Perfect” and I MOST DEFINITELY WOULD GAIN A DISTINCTION and there was NO QUESTIONING it! Of course when I got my big, fat three I cried. (From this day fourth, I hate anything with the number 3!) Haha. Big joke but honestly I just decided that I will hate the number 3. ‘Lol’. ‘Smh’. Number 1 should be my number! #nowthatswhatsup! When my teacher asked me what grade I got, I bent my head in shame and told her and she was pretty upset. Of course I couldn’t blame her. I had no one to blame but myself. To bring this story to an end let’s just say I pulled my socks up; like all the way up and I did get my distinction. When I walked out of the room this time I knew I got it, because that descriptive story thing, I nailed that along with everything else.

Man I won’t be surprised if they told me my story was in one of these CXC books. ‘Lol’. (I’m serious though!) So when people say January CXC is easier or the other way round, that really isn’t true. If you apply yourself, you work extra hard, you study, you practice! You won’t have a problem when you write CXC really. Of course, there WILL BE challenging questions/sums, even the brightest kid struggles with certain stuff, but hey if you studied you know that one way or the other you’re going to pass that test because you studied! So the message I’m leaving with you this weekend is “practice makes perfect.” Whoever came up with that was quite right!

I actually feel like this is the very first time I feel like I’m writing in my diary, ever since I started “Diaries of a Dream Queen.” So yes, I’ve shared yet another chapter of my life with you and I’m looking forward to sharing more. Hope you take into consideration the message I left with you! Till then, see you in Vegas! (Just a phrase I like to use. It may not make sense really, but it’s my thing. We all have that one phrase in particular we like to use.) Well I’m off now! Bye!!
