On Monday, I started summer sessions for the final 2 classes I need to graduate. Both of the classes don't seem that bad so far, but there's going to be a lot of reading and note-taking I'm sure I'll have to do. Part of me feels overwhelmed that I'm already back doing schoolwork after barely over a week off, but at least my work ethic is still intact. I just hope I don't make a mistake and can pass the classes.
It'll be a few long months of work, but I'm sure there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Just Good Enough
I know the calender may not say 3 days have passed, or even occurred, but it's been 3 days if you count Monday. Regardless, I've taken my final for my online class and have the results to boot.
I got a B on my final for my online class, which is fantastic considering how things were after my first quiz weeks back, when I got a C-. I was so crushed because I felt as though I studied hard enough, and the questions weren't that difficult, yet I made stupid mistakes, such as not fully reading all the questions. Despite how I felt, I was determined to do better, and it happened. I got a B on my midterm, and an A- on my next quiz, but none of that would matter if I did bad on my final. Luckily, it didn't happen.
Of course, I know it wasn't all luck that I did well. Most of it is because of the hard work I put into studying. It's just hard to give credit to myself because usually I fall so short of being just good enough (which is usually what a B is). In the past, I've gotten C's or worse, so it feels satisfying to know I really accomplished this. It's given me a self-esteem boost, and makes me think that whatever life is going to throw next at me, will be no problem as long as I believe in myself and work hard. I know it's cliche to say that, but it's something I haven't really believed in myself until recently. Hopefully, it pays off, but in many ways, it already has.
