Sometimes I Surprise Myself

Maybe I am just one of those people who doubts themselves, but most of the time after I take an exam I have no idea how I did on it - and then start to think I did badly on it. Usually this dissipates when I see I actually did pass, and usually end up making an A or B (though sometimes a C).

However, science is just a little bit different for me. It is something I really have to study and because I’m planning on going into the nursing field, I really need to do well on the pre-requisite courses. This semester I’m in Anatomy and Physiology I. I also have another Psychology course, but I’m not too worried about that one.

Today I took my first exam in Anatomy and Physiology. I studied like crazy this weekend and last night, so I was really hoping I’d do well. While I was taking the test, by question 28 or so, I was thinking to myself, “Wow, I’m awesome.” Why? Because I knew every answer with no second guesses. Near question 30 though they got a little harder. I still knew most of them though, and was really confident I got an A by the end of the exam, or at least a high B.

I was even the first one finished!

The professor said he’d have the exam grades posted by this afternoon, so I go into our online area and check to see if they are indeed posted yet…

I scored 94/100!

Sometimes I do surprise myself.

I just hope that the rest are this easy for me.
