The first exam in my 400 level class, I got a 72 on. Each exam is 20% of our grade, and after receiving that grade I became extremely anxious when I realized I would have to get 95% on the next two to get a 91% overall in the class.

I skipped class for 3 weeks and was in a depressed episode, panicking about the test and putting it off. I went in to look over my exam and I realized I would have gotten an 85% except I have misread one of the questions and answered it the wrong way- so I do know the stuff and it is possible to get a good grade!

Usually when the wind is knocked out of my sails it is hard for me to face my challenges, but my second exam just got graded and I got a 97%!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, that is all, just really proud of myself for not giving into the bed magnet totally and bucking up and studying, don't have anyone to share it with really
