my university ramblings
I'm currently not worried enough about school. I'm not worried enough about the fact that I have basically two weeks left of school and two assignments/presentations/exams etc in each class left to do. That's ten things left to do! I basically have four weeks left of school, but the number of those things due between now and the end of classes is at least one of each. So that's five things left to do in the next week and a half.
Oh my God!
Okay kids, back to your regularly scheduled program. And I'm not so sure about that A- average now, but I"m well on my way to a A+ in one of my fourth year classes.
Maybe it's just cuz the prof thinks I'm awesome. I got back my second test today, and I got a 94 on it, if you remember the last one was 100 percent. I really thought that I screwed this one up, but no, apparently I was one of two people who got over 90 percent on the exam. I always seem to say the right thing, but at the same time, I'm wondering if the teacher is just giving me better marks because he likes me. I feel bad for the other students if that's the case, it doesn't seem fair. Would I, however, go to a prof and ask him to give me lower marks because I feel like he's being unfair, of course not! One of the girls in my class was complaining about her mark on the exam, on one question in particular. She felt that she should get perfect on that question, but seriously, she got 87% on that one question so I think she did quite well, and I'm assuming that she got at least an 85% on the exam, so I'm not sure what she's complaining about. I'm thorough, and usually the last person to leave a test or exam, but this teacher doesn't give 'bad marks', his lowest mark on this exam was likely a 75% and he was apologetic about this. Some people really don't realize when they've got it good.
I have a feeling that this has something, once again, to do with my ever present need for perfect papers, and always feeling like things are not good enough. The funny part is, I tend to do extremely well when the pressure is on, and less well on essays. I am always convinced it's because the exams are too easy, and that's the only reason I get good marks. I'm starting to feel like that is less the case. I mean you really have to say something fairly complete in order to get an A on an exam. I may just be saying the right things. Or maybe they mark people with disabilities easier, I'm not sure.
Anyway, it's funny to me, because I don't feel smarter, and I don't think it's a matter of being smarter. I feel like I just know how to answer the questions being posed in a more complete way. I've solved the riddle of a university education.
