What? how? Is that even possible?
Dec. 11th, 2006 11:46 amomg, omg, omg! *flails incoherently*
I got an A on my Paper of Doom! I truly, truly, truly did not think that was even remotely possible. I was so afraid I wasn't even going to get an acceptable B and would have to retake the class.
*flails some more*
This whole semester has been such a scary, scary time. I've doubted my decision to go back to school and my ability to do the work required. It was a hard transition from being a full-time professional to a full-time student who also happens to work nearly full-time at an exhausting job. Being a student again, after letting my critical thinking skills idle for so long was just frightening beyond belief. I still really need to work at challenging the ideas that are being presented in my classes, rather than just accepting what each professor says, even when they contradict each other's viewpoints. I need to work much harder next semester at doing all the readings on time and participating more in class discussions.
But for all that, I think it's likely that I'm going to come out of this semester in one piece, and for that, I am amazed and thankful.
