School Update (Very Humbled Rn)

I don't usually write about school updates but it seems this will be the first and definitely not last. Tell my why did I choose to major in Biochemistry (this major has most of my prerequisites for applying to dental school)?! Now don't get me wrong, so far I'm doing well and keeping my GPA high but golllly it can get sometimes overwhelming but that's besides the issue. Last week Thursday I had my first exam for my CHE230- Quantitative Analysis and I studied my butt off for the most part. When I took the exam I was a bit nervous to take it, we're allowed a cheat sheet but even then it felt a little useless because some of the problems were felt like I was reading a history textbook. IT WAS MORE READING THEN FREAKEN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS, who the heck told my professor to give us long ass wordie problems. Like bruh and the fact that I had already known they're word problems based on the study guide and practice homework that was 'supposed' to be similar felt nowhere near similar!!

I'm like almost done with the exam and I have answered almost everything except one question and an extra credit problem. Like I had about 10mins left before I had to give my professor my exam paper. I'm walking out feeling a confident with my answers and I asked others too and they too felt the same. Idk, I just think the whole thing was a bit ummm questionable and literally after I left campus (commuter over here) and go get myself a nice treat to remind myself you tried your very best.

And I had other assignments from my Gen Physics, Gen Physics lab, and my Philosophy class but I pulled through all of them. Honestly I may be feeling complete drained and fatigued at the same time but its ok I'll get through it. Plus I did do a self-care/ me day for myself then hanged out with my friends yesterday. Made me even forget I took an exam but unfortunately today I had the rudest awakening ever.

Boom its the afternoon today and I'm just chilling watching YouTube feeling great on a cloudy day. then I get a notification from Canvas saying my exam 1 has been graded. and when I tell you my heart dropped and my day felt ruined as ever. I checked what I got after seeing many people on our class group chat saying they did bad, I should have known. I checked and saw I got a ow grade its not bad for a first exam but damn I expected a C but a D+, my grade now in that class is a 86. the average was a 72 so ig I'm good, right?

Like genuinely I felt truly humbled seeing my grade still ok especially that I know I gotta lock in starting this coming week because next exam for this class is in a month or so from now. 

Anyways I felt like I needed to write about it.
