Do you ever feel like you're not who you're supposed to be? I get that feeling a lot. Like, I'm meant to be different. Not a different person per se, but like I didn't turn out how my parents meant me to be. Like I was supposed to be this good little Catholic girl who always said her prayers and graduated from the stupid Catholic school at the top of her class. And I'm not, and I didn't. And you know, I really kind of feel bad about that. I mean, they only got me, they don't have anyone else to be proud of if I screw up. Not that it really matters anymore, as I've screwed up sufficiently many times that I'm sure they don't expect anything anymore. I mean good lord, they were happy with my C in economics. A C! A few years ago, that would have been death. I suppose I should thank IB for getting my parents used to me doing badly.
But anyway, enough of that. I went shopping this afternoon and bought myself three rather ugly dress shirts. But whatcha gonna do? I find most dress shirts ugly, so these probably aren't all that bad in reality, I just like to exaggerate. Anywho, off to think about making dinner.

Well, no one will ever meet their parents expectations. Just do what's good for you and what makes you feel good.

p.s. If you feel like a 'C' is not your best, then you know that you have to work harder. I don't think that your parents are proud of you because of your bad marks in IB were 'terrible', but their proud of you because you've had a really rough year and you didn't fail miserably- you did okay.
I agree with theb
