This weekend I had studied for my mental health exam which was yesterday. Sat all day both Saturday and Sunday. ODed on coffee and made my stomach hurt. Spent way too much money on Panera (but their creamy tomato soup is soo freaking good). And I'm beginning to have a back problem from sitting too much.
Today, the results of the test came out. I was really happy with my score. It was an 88% which was higher than I expected. But then, comparing against my classmates, I was merely average. The median was slightly lower, just an 87%. After finding that out, I was kinda bummed. I do study. All the freaking time. Why is it that my efforts aren't paying off as well as the rest of my classmates? *sighs* I know that my score isn't bad. I was happy with it before comparing it to the median. I just wished I could somehow force my brain to be just a little bit quicker on the uptake and just a little smarter. One of my classmates got a 95%. I know she worked her ass off. So what am I doing wrong?
I don't want to work so hard just to be average. I really really don't.
