NOW & LATER

Last week was really stressful for me. I had a huge test at the end of the week on a subject I am not particularly fond of. I have had some trouble in the class throughout the semester. I talked to some friends and co-workers about what I should do. I debated dropping the course completely, but this would put me behind to graduate in May. One friend told me that I should just stick it out until the final drop date, study my butt off for this test, and get into a better routine of studying for the class. I hated to hear it, but I knew she was right. 

I have never studied so hard for a test in my life. I worked on this class every night for the past week for hours at a time. There were some nights that I thought that I just couldn't do it. That I would have to drop the class because I was going to fail the test. I reminded myself that the subject is not that difficult, and push on. My boss and co-workers were all so supportive, too. They gave me so much motivation that I knew there was no other option, but to go in and pass the test. 

I walked into the room for the exam feeling very confident and I still feel confident about the outcome of the exam. I know that I missed a couple of questions, but that is okay. 

Giving up on the course would have been the easiest thing to do... right now. It would have been an "easy out", but it would come back to haunt me next semester when I would have to retake the course. I have been trying to live by a new motto and so far it has paid off.
