In which I am never satisfied.

la_belle_laideThree more finals to go: neurology tomorrow, and Asian 1 and 2 on Friday. Today was Myo2 and Swedish 2 practical. On the Swedish practical I got 100 and on the written I got 98. I am ridiculously disappointed in my myology written, in this petty, irritating way that I know is going to sound stupid. Half the class failed the final. I got an 89. It's just that, there were a handful of questions where I thought maybe I'd gotten them wrong, and out of 100 I was wishy-washy on 10 of them. But I figured maybe I'd gotten at least 3 out of those 10 correct. This means that there's just stuff that I don't realize I don't know. What did I get wrong? I was so confident in this test, I don't even know! There are definitely two that I looked up in the notes after the test and I knew I'd gotten those wrong. But the others? I don't even know!
My professor form that class said we could email him for the grades tonight and I did. He told me my grade and said I still got an A overall for the class, but I expressed my disappointment in myself. I said I was glad I'd done an extra credit paper after all. His reply not only made me feel a little better about the test, but made my night:
Actually, the extra credit was not needed for your A. You have an excellent understanding of the human musculature and earned an A without any additional help or curve. Nice work. It was a pleasure having you in class.
That was great, truly so nice to hear. But I still don't know which other questions I got wrong and it's going to bother me. I really thought I nailed this one and figured I'd have at least a 95.
Now, I'm worried about the neurology final because I'd been pretty confident in that, too. But now I'm not so sure!
Well anyway. Then I came home, had dinner with Mom, then took my dogs here for a bit and talked on the phone to Gold Dragon who's also doing all of his finals. It's very stressful. We decided to try to go and watch Ninja Assassin after finals are over. I really think that a movie with tons of blood and violence will relieve that stress. (Speaking of, I asked him—like I asked all my other sparring partners—if I'd ever inadvertently gone too hard or been “overzealous” in sparring. Like most of the others, his first reaction was laughter. [To my knowledge, I've always pulled every single punch and kick; I'm so afraid of hurting people that I barely tap them.] His following reaction was a moment of silence followed by, “...Well, sometimes I'm crying on the inside.” But I know he was kidding. It's unanimous; I've never hurt anyone while sparring. Hmm.)
After that I played RE:DC for a little while longer. I've already beaten it, now I'm trying to unlock all the extras and junk. Seriously one of the extra games is that you run around while zombie tofu tries to kill you and you have to shoot it about five times. It's so much harder than the regular game that I've never gotten past the first few minutes because it always touches me to death. Zombie tofu. WTF. I unlocked a replay of the final chapter in which you get Krauser's inner monologue and it seemed kinda fun, and then I got killed by the zombie frogs. I hope I can get Leon's inner monologue. “I wonder if that door leads somewhere. Does that ladder go up as well as down? D'AHHHH! ZOMBIES!”
In other fangirl news, I might yet have gotten my hands on the rare second part of the Gundam Wing series. I've been fighting to get my hands on that bizznatch for freaking months.
And now, I'm off to bed to read the last chapter of the novel I'm reading. I get to sleep late tomorrow and review like a beast for neuro. I just feel like I will never be able to review enough. I read every word of every note in the last few days and I don't feel half as confident as I did for Myo2, and we see how well that turned out. :/ So now I'm all jittery. Think I will go for a massage sometime during school tomorrow.
*fingers crossed*

It was great. ^_^
