First mid-term test outta the way, thank goodness. I had this history test last night, and for the very first time in my lengthly college career, a career that has seen dozens, if not hundreds of tests, I got myself so worked up over it that I stressed my self out to the point of virtual sickness! I was dizzy and was on the very edge of vomiting up spinach all over the classroom. Luckily I was able to calm myself down and take the test without too many problems. I think that over time, as I increased in age and realized the importance of my marks, and also the importance of actually learning and absorbing the information givin to me, did I finally set much higher standards for myself than I had in previous years. I remember being just fine with a C, or even a C- in some cases, but now I can't allow myself below a B. I suppose that is a pretty decent standard to set for myself. Shit, I am paying an enormous amount of money for this education, put myself in debt for this education, sacrificed much for this education, I have even sold my soul for this education, I should walk away with a damned smart head on my shoulders, right? Hopefully so, however I am beginning to worry that I might leave with some serious anxiety issues as well.
