title: Problem with consistency. I stayed up all night studying for this Math exam that contained certain topics I couldn't quite understand. I honestly didn't see the point of the lesson, or why they were making us learn it. It's not like we need it in life. After three straight hours of tremendous reviewing, I finally collapsed and went to bed, leaving my fate in the hands of the Math gods.
To my disappointment, I found the test tricky. Sure, I was able to answer a bunch of items, but in the last number, I got confused and made a mistake with the signs and computations, and I am therefore aware that I may not get a perfect score, or at least a very high one. That's about 5% down the drain. Since I am currently under scholarship (my dad's company pays for my tuition), I am obliged to maintain at least a 3.0 in all my subjects. If I get a 2.5.. Well, let's not go there. So you obviously know the pressure and stress I go through. It's 2x the load an average student carries, and I have a double-degree course, so it's more than usual. I'm already plotting ways on how to pull my Math grade up. I have good grades so far, but I need to stay consistent. Basically, I need to work harder, and since I'm vying for honors, I have to do awesome in my exams. So here I am in the library, studying as we speak. This term is almost over, and on the 8th of September, I'll know my ranking. |
