Isn't it ironic. . .

Well, I got a 91 on that anatomy test- 48/50 for the practical and 43/50 for the written. I have no idea how I did it. All of my random guesses were right. Everyone else in my lab group (including C, who's much better at anatomy than me and studied much harder) thinks they didn't do very well, so it would be fairly tasteless for me to talk about

I would posit this for you to consider:

if it really was insticnt, intuition, what have you that you feel gave you an edge in the exam, think of how that will help you when dealing with patients.

You studied hard, you knew the material well enough to understand it - perhaps you understood it well enough to make correct inferences about what you did not necessarily know directly.

In other words, you're gonna feel what you're gonna feel, but I would rather have an intuitive doctor that can make connections A-B-J and cure me than get worse while waiting for another doctor to make them one by one.

"Who would say "I'm really proud of how tall I am," "

There is being proud of an accomplishment and then there is being proud of YOURSELF (I don't know how to underline things on lj).

Maybe accepting and loving are better terms than "proud", but I think that it isn't too far off the mark to say that one can be proud of who one is.

FWIW, I sort of understand feeling disconcerted by too high a grade. I had one teacher who had a very strange grading scheme: during the semester, students had to pass a series of 6 computer generated quizzes. You could take each quiz as many times as you wanted until you passed. Each quiz was multiple-choice, with 20 questions taken from a list of about 60 possible questions
