My Head Hurts…

Today’s Chemistry final? EVIL. HARD. IMPOSSIBLE. So many other descriptive terms come to mind. Ugh. It was BAD. We had 2 hours to do it, which didn’t seem too bad – 20 questions, so that should be ok, right? Wrong. I think I left 4-5 questions completely blank in the end. I simply didn’t have time to do them. Out of 20 questions, 15 would count – so the first 5 that you missed were throw away questions. I did the math last night – I needed to get 100 out of 150 points to get a B in the class. I needed a 150 out of 150 to get an A. Ha! I know that isn’t happening! But I’m really scared that I’m not going to get a B either. Ugh.

She said our grades would be posted online this afternoon. So far, nothing. I’m not sure if I can take the stress. It has been almost 3 hours since I left that test, and my head still hurts from it.

I had considered taking my photography final today too – I’m so glad I didn’t do that! I was mush after the Chemistry final. So tomorrow I go back for my last final. That one shouldn’t be too bad, as it is the same lenght as our midterm and he gave us a good study guide for it. I’ll be working on that later today.

It is ironic how much I am freaking out over possibly getting a C in Chemistry II. My GPA at North Harris right now is 3.87. Considering I never broke the 2.0 mark overall the first 2 years I went to college, a 3.87 is awesome. So if my GPA for this semester is a 3.0, my overall will still be pretty high. Did that matter to me earlier today? No. Now I’m just upset because it won’t be a 3.87 anymore.

I left campus today questioning why I’m even there, which was wrong of me. I need to stop beating myself up. I am smart. I am intelligent. I can do this. But first I need to rest. My head still hurts.
