Quarterly Update?
Well I'm just over a month into my first semester back in school and I'm totally rockin' it! I'm actually kinda surprising myself with how well I'm doing. Of the five classes I'm taking, English was the one I was most concerned about, just because I hate writing essays and stuff. Oddly enough, I got an A on my first writing assignment which was a summary. I just got my second assignment back which was a critique that we had to write in class, and I somehow managed to get a B. Huge accomplishment for me, considering my biggest hurdle in writing starting the process! I usually sit there for an hour or two staring at blankness before I even know what to say, but I managed to write for the entire 80 minutes of class.
I got my Microeconomics midterm back today and I was completely prepared to see that I had bombed it. I did not feel good writing that exam on Tuesday at all. I wasn't surprised when I saw my paper and it said 15/29... I figured it was a pass... barely... but then she said it was out of 35, so I was confused. It turns out I got 14/15 on the first page, and 29/35 in total! A-minus!!! w00t w00t!!!
I'm still waiting for my Accounting and Business Math midterm marks, which I'll get on Monday and Tuesday. I felt good about my Accounting midterm... I even smiled at my prof as I handed it to him. I know... I'm a dork... And I was soooo worried about my Business Math, I couldn't even sleep the night before the exam. I finally just told myself that if I bombed, it wouldn't be the end of the world, and I let it go. When I got the exam, I actually felt fairly confident. I'm hoping I did alright, 'cause I felt really good coming out of it.
I'm happy. I'm content... well, with the exception of my perfectionism, but I'm working on that. My therapist told me that my perfectionism is the source of my procrastination. I never put the two of those together. However, mentally and emotionally, I'm in the best place I've been in a very long time. It's been a long and bumpy road, but I finally think I'm alright with where I am in my life... :)
