Midterm down, Final and a paper to go....

Okay, lately school has grown discouraging. I even walked into class yesterday and told a friend I feel as though I am growing dumber as I grow older and spend more time in college.
Modern Literary Theory and Criticism or whatever the class is called has really been killing me. I feel like I don't have enough time to do all my work, and after making a B on my first Psych test (which gravely disappointed me), the second test fell on the same day as my theory and crit midterm. I was severely stressed about this English midterm, and allocated all my time to prepare for it. I got the Psych test back first and made a 68. So, I needless to say, I was feeling pretty down. Then came my speech on Monday (yesterday)... which I bombed. After a flawless practice run, my speech went under by two minutes and I totally forgot to say some things and jumbled my conclusion. Then I went to English.
The breakdown of grades was as follows on this incredibly tough exam:
1 A, 1 A-, 4 B+, 1 B, 3 B-, 2 C+, 3 C, 2 C-, 4 D/F.
My heart dropped when I saw the breakdown and after I made it outside and lit a cigarette I opened up my paper...

AHHHHHH!I did not write this post to brag, but to vent about how excited I am... and I am still in disbelief. I DID NOT expect to get the highest grade in the class... at all... And now, I think I am even more nervous about the final and the critical paper because there is no reason for me to make less than an A in this class now that I know that I am (magically... somehow) "capable" of doing so... Pressure's on!!!


On my paper I want to do To Kill A Mockingbird... not much available, but I think it is substantial stuff... Only time will tell... whew.
