Midterms already??

For my patho class, I have to go up to the school to take an in-class test each Weds even though it's supposed to be an online class. Fine, no biggie. Today I was a few minutes late getting in there so I'd missed the announcement that we needed to stay afterwards to talk with her, get our grade for midterms, etc. I needed to talk with her about something anyway so I got lucky.

So, I'm in her office and she tells me what I made on the test. Now, I am a chapter behind b/c the last module was 117 pages long and it took me waaayyy longer to complete it than the others. So while the test was over cancer and the neurological system, I had only read the cancer chapter. Not good. I didn't feel good about the test and I was sure I'd bombed. She pulls out the test and says I made a 78. 78??? Are you serious?? I can't believe I made that high of a grade considering 85% of the test was over a chapter I didn't even glance at.

Then she figures up my midterm grade, with the module tests included, and I'm carrying a mid-B right now. YES!! This class is, by far, one of the hardest and most time-consuming classes I've ever taken and I'm actually doing well. Not that I'm surprised all that much but I am surprised at my test grades. I have been getting a bit of test anxiety lately and tend to do a bit more poorly than my potential. It feels so great to finally have test scores and grades reflect me accurately!! <>

So, at midterms, I'm carrying a B with 3 more tests and the final to go. I totally have a chance of getting an A!!!

And a big Happy Birthday to my bff's twin daughters who turned the big 5 today! Happy Birthday Abby and Emma!!
