As or Bs?

After talking with my roommate Stephanie, who was valedictorian of her high school... I took the time realize and explain to her why I was only a 3.0 student. I suppose what is most important from that conversation is that I'm the first to say that I choose hanging out with my friends and experiencing life over a grade. Yes, I am a B student, however that does not mean that I'm not as smart as those who surround me. I just choose to live my life doing the amount of work that provides for me a mere B... I guess every semester I decide that this will be the semester that I liven up my grades and do the required work (that I can do but, choose not to)... I think what I have noticed is that I could have an A in anyone of my classes... I haven't had a class that would be impossible for me to get an A in... except Biology... however, I have chosen friends and life over that A. I don't think anyone is better than the other...
I know that in the end, I wont remember I got a B+ in Non western culture and history, but, I'll remember I met my best friends that year, we had lots of great times hanging out and going to Disneyland. My Erick and I were experiencing great moments in our relationship. And, that's what will be most important!

What brought this topic on was about how I managed a 3.1 or something in high school. I choose during high school to delegate my time to band, church, and hanging out with my friends. School was the last on my list, however I did spend a lot of my time working to get an A in AP US History and Government... which I actually enjoyed! However, the rest of my time went to hang out with my friends and learning to play an instrument. It was important to me then, and I wouldn't change those choices for anything in the world.

I'm just rambling... yet again. I think what I am trying to say is that there is so much more to a grade. Its not just laziness, its how you divide your time.
