3.8 isnt bad and we all eventualy lose our 4.0. Only people that keep 4.0 all the way to grad, are cherrypickers.:rolleyes:On getting a healthy perspective on things...I can't believe it's over! It seems like I did nothing but study for the entire quarter and especially the last month. But, Praise the Lord, it paid off in the end and I sqeaked out the 4.0 I was killing myself for with my lab and lecture finals YIPPPEEE!
I took my final on Wed. and then went home and beat myself up for all of the things I thought I did wrong. I got myself completely depressed thinking I got a 3.8...what the heck is wrong with me? What if I did get a 3.8? That would still be a terrific grade for such a hard class.
On Thursday I went back to school to get my grade from my teacher, who's awesome BTW, hard, but I learned so much. When I told her that I had already mourned the loss of my 4.0 she looked at me like I was nuts, showed me my scantron and then my grade for the class. I hugged her and thanked her, but I swear it was a little bit of a hollow victory. What is wrong with me? Instead of being completely happy I let myself sink so low the day before that I only felt OK about it when it turned out differently.
Well, I hope that I do as well in AP2, but I have GOT to learn how to keep a healthier perspective. I've slept a lot the last two days, and that feels really good. I didn't realize how wiped out I was. I plan on sleeping a lot more too
I am so grateful for this site, because while I don't say much, I lurk often and always feel like we are all in this together. I share all of your victories and I feel for you when you are struggling.
Good luck to all who still have finals next week,
and congratualtions to all who have finished.
I hope we ALL get to chill out over the holidays and enjoy the peace.
Blessings-
Julie
