my 3rd quarter eval: College heartbreak, Waves & Optics, and my plan of action for my last quarter in Vallejo High

My performance this quarter has nowhere been my best. I myself and fairly disappointed myself. I had fallen into this idea where, "Cal Poly didn't accept me, so why try? Why should I still do this?" Earlier this quarter, I had checked all my college applications, I saw that I had gotten accepted to SF state and Sacramento State. This was fine, but I had no intention to go straight to these school, and maybe not at all. My goal school was Cal Poly. I was crushed when they didn't accept me, I took it the wrong way, and I let my pessimism and bad habits get to me. This last week or two I've been trying to make up the work.. and I've turned a considerable amount of work into fusion. I know some of it was late, and it wasn't all the work, but atleast I'm got some work in again, right? I hope you agree, Mr. Tillay. Besides that, I think I should get a 2/D this quarter because I did just that.. Below Average. [I wouldn't be suprised if I even got an F because I know I did fail the two goals of this class, learning physics/ how a college course works, and taking and passing the AP exam.] I lost aim in why I even took this course, and now that I've started to regain my self-esteem back, It's too late. I am not going to take the AP Physics test. I let my family down, Mr. Tillay down, and ultimately myself.[I'll continue this in my 3rd part, my plan of action.] I'm trying not to regret my decisions this year; the saying "no regrets" come to mind, but it's hard not to, when you've come so far and fallen.

My plan of action... is to graduate, go to Napa Valley community college, and go from there. I know i got accepted to Sac & SF state, but I don't know if I want to go there or not. I just need to not ruin my chance at an education like I did here.
