Sorry if it sounds a bit arrogant., but I can't deny that when it came to school, I had it easy.
Except for a very few instances, I didn't really give much effort. I never stayed up late to study for an exam. I always turned in my assignments on time or early if possible. I hated cramming. Even if I could be quite a procrastinator about other things, when it came to school work especially, I scheduled my time so that I start on it early so that I can pace the work and have it done on time.
Sometimes I don't even know how I ended up graduating with honors, grade school, high school and college. Some people can say they did their best. I know I didn't. I know I could have done more. But then again, who equates having sleepless nights with putting in more effort?
So it sucks when I found out this morning that for an exam that I studied for two weeks, reading all twelve chapters TWICE. I only got 29 out of 50. Darn. I couldn't help but fill a bit of bitterness that some of my classmates who didn't even read the chapters got higher than me. I have to admit I expected a higher great. Yes, I wasn't sure with some of my answers. Maybe the multiple choice was trickier than I though. 5 choices per question. I only had a 20% chance of getting the right answer. But I thought that me reading the materials would give me more chances to get the right ones. Guess not.
I know that it would turn out okay. Maybe it's a wake up call or something. I don't know. I'll try not to take it to heart too much. I could make up for it. I better do.
