Maybe I take school too seriously?
Oct. 5th, 2006 12:42 pmToday I found out that I got an 82 on the one Philosophy exam I took last week. While part of me things that's a really bad grade, and I shouldn't be getting grades like that, another part of me is trying to rationalize, saying that an 82 isn't bad at all--it's a B or at the very least a high C. As to which part is winning, that would be the former, at least for now. Sometimes I really do think I take school too seriously, and that my grades really aren't good at all even though there usually isn't any validity in that, and I always try my best, which is all I can do anyway right? I don't know why I think like this, either, but I do. I also seem to forget the slightly added fact that I have to deal with a visual impairment--well no vision at all actually--which really does add an extra layer of complexity to things that the rest of the students don't have to deal with. I also wish that blindness didn't automatically make you hfeel like you have to prove yourself to people, at least that's how it is with me sometimes. Perhaps I'm not alone in feeling this? I don't know.
I have class in a little more than an hour, and then I'm going to try to get this computer project finished. My prof did respond to my email, and I was on the right track with things, so that's always good. I really do hope I can finish the project and submit it tonight, that would be one slight stress lifted from me, and I wouldn't have to worry about finishing it tomorrow, definitely a good thing when I'm going to be running around packing, doing laundry and whatnot. I really am looking forward to this weekend, as I've said before. I always do look forward to Walk weekend, though, it's just a really nice time to spent with my "family" and have a lot of fun in the process. I can't wait to see everyone. Yes, I am aware that I haven't written the entry about last year's walk that I said I would. AJ reminded me of that this morning when he and I were on the phone. Maybe I'll do that tonight.
I also found out today that I got a 9/10 on another quiz for another class, so that's a good thing. Yay for positivity! On a side note, as I just finished the book I'd been reading for awhile last night, if anyone has any recommendations, pass them my way. I do have quite a large amount of reading material to choose from, but the problem is what to read first... Alright, it's off to class in awhile, and then to perhaps finish my project. Wish me luck!
