Quit Once - I was thinking about what you said, about the certification exam. I just handed in my first exam, it was a take home. Its my first real exam (that's not a quiz or homework) that is worth 20% of my grade. I really feel like doing well on it would give me some much needed confidence as i get started here in school. But after we handed it in, of course everyone was discussing what they did on the exam, and i realized i made some serious errors and the stuff , charts and graphs to support, were not as substantial as everyone else's. I got a major concept wrong, that seemed like such common sense for everyone else. I felt so lousy i had to walk away, but of course I couldn't stop dwelling on it for the rest of the day, and today too. I have resolved im going to get bad grade. It's just a horrible way to start, in terms of getting some needed confidence.
When i was on adderall, i shot for a 4.0.
Now, I am shooting for a 3.25 to keep my scholarship. At the very minimum a 3.0 per semester is needed to obtain my MBA. Much lower standards.
But still, i dont think i performed well enough on this last take home and i really dont want to be like this through the rest of the semester.
