Grades and what I want to be when I grow up (preview)

I don't have a lot of time right now because I really should be studying.

GRADES

I got an A+, and B-, and B- last quarter that's a 3.1 according to the school website. My overall GPA is 3.127 (or something insane like that). I would love to be a 4.0 student but I'm struggling just to keep my grades as they are. Better luck next time, right?

RHETORICIAN

I want to be a rhetorician when I grow up. Thank you. Stay tuned for more randomness.

I just bombed my midterm

Ugh....I am trying to stay positive about this but I am really bummed. It's hard to identify and explicate 7 out of 10 old/middle English passages and take 2 of those passages and compare them to 2 other texts in 50 minutes. Add to that my learning disability and acute physical limitations.

I know my self worth isn't effected by getting an F. I just hate failing. Especially, failing at the school I am at. I've worked very hard to get here. I know I am intelligent, even if I did poorly on this test. I just do NOT want to get bad grades. I strive to maintain my grades so that I have plenty of options after I graduate.

I really need to take the advice I've been giving others lately and stay focused on the good stuff in life. It's not the end of the world, it's just a lousy feeling, that will pass. At least it's Valentine's Day and I can eat as much chocolate as I want without feeling guilty. Yay!
