I almost cried in class today. I was superbly disappointed because I worked so darn hard for my GLM assignment and I thought I really understood those chaps well. Yet I got the same grade as I did for the previous assignment in which I didnt put in much thought for.
Worse, everyone did better than before. The mean for the class for the previous two assignments were B. So great, I was on par with most people. Then for this final assignment, the freaking mean was like an A-. What the? So of course I felt crappy like a piece of gum stuck at the base of someone's shoe. And he had to return the assignments at the start of class. So you can imagine how I wasnt paying much attention.
It was only after one hour or so of wallowing in self-pity that I vowed to work harder than ever.
Dammit farah, time to really really mug.
And you know what song popped into my head? "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down"
And then I was paying attention again :)
So know what? Alhamdulillah for that B. That assignment has definitely spurred me on. Woke me up. Reminded me to be humble again.
There's a reason for everything.
Insya-allah, I'll do ok for the exams.
