A good day
A little story for you.
So yesterday I had pushed off studying for my Math final. When it finally came down to it, with some persuasion I finally started chipping away at it. The head of this section of Math posted a lot of his previous exams to look over. I went through all of them, and it seemed that I had just lost everything from early on this semester. I was getting pretty down on my self for how poor my results were. I kept going through them, and doing my best. Finally at two this morning, I decided I should go to bed if I am going to make it on time to my 7:30am final.
When I got up, I showered and headed out. I got there a little early hoping that I could secure a good seat, that would not have a lot of traffic. I was so nervous in my mind. When I sat down I got right into it. I did not notice, but I was completely calm. A feeling that I never have taking tests. I went through the test answered everything the best that I could, then went over the test a couple times to make sure that I answered everything right.
I left the auditorium not feeling that confident. I could only think about studying earlier that morning. I felt that at best I would probably earn a “C.” All day I was doing some mental calculations to see if by any chance I would maybe still have an “A.”
Well I went around town doing some Christmas shopping. I tried to keep my mind occupied among other things. Finally I came home, opened my email and there was the results sitting there in my inbox. I opened the email scanned the contents finding that surely I had some wrong answers. Then I found the overall. Well, that’s not so bad. Third highest out of 144.
My excitement comes from just earning the best grades of my life. It is really from a sense that I just did it, so why not do it again? At the beginning of the semester I set the goal to get a 4.0. I honestly did not believe that I could do it. It had never been done before. I had tried many times, but I usually lost motivation through the semester.
Any who, I feel like I am giving an acceptance speech.
