I fretted those first few weeks (okay months), can I do this? Every exam, caused such anxiety that my family and friends could hardly stand me. I am a bit obsessive...another character flaw that those who know and love me just have to accept. I took 13 credit hours my first semester, and fellow students were always like "wow, thats a lot". I aced all my classes, ended first semester with a 4.0 and a deans list certificate. My head exploded with confidence. I can do this! Gosh golly, I'm smart. Then summer sessions started.
And we have summer semester. I only took 6 credit hours, because the summer session is slightly condensed, still it will be easy, hey I'm gosh golly smart ya know. The one class is turning out to be easy, straight memorization, self taught, just show up for tests. I have a 100 average in that class. The other class, I'm having more difficulty with. I study more for this class than I did first semester for any class. I read all the text (gasp O.o), and think I understand it when she lectures in class. The test gets placed in front of me, and I spend half of my allotted time second guessing EVERY answer. First test I barely managed an A, second test...well I got a B. Now everyone keeps saying, this isn't so bad...but I know have to make a 96 or better on the last two exams to except the exam and earn an A. If I don't I have to ace the exam to pull off an A.
Now I'm driving everyone around me mad with my "I must have an A attitude". But ya can't fix a 4.0 once ya have messed it up! <----see obsessive much
My big head has been knocked down a size a two and I'm going to suck it up and do my best...and drive everyone mad morning the loss of the 4.o! And that includes all the suckers that bother to read my blog when I bother to write one. Sorry :)
