becomingkate I had a very weird dream last night-I dreamed I was in a class and all of a sudden I was sitting next to a woman who I just knew was my childhood best friend-I asked whatever happened to her in school, because I remembered one year she was there and the next she wasn't. She said "I moved to California." It was so real I woke up and looked her up on Facebook. She still lives around here. Yes, I still recognized her after 30 years--people's eyes don't change much so that's how I always recognize people I haven't seen in forever. Try it with celebrity pics-it really works.
So, I can't remember if I posted about the last Math quiz I took--I failed it with a 65...I was so sure I did well. (one question was 30 points) So today (a week later) I went back and retook it--got 100. Tell me how that makes sense. I really think my phone calculator is wonky...So he averaged the failed quiz and the 100 and got an 82.5.
Next week is finals--I have a take home History final due Tuesday, Math final on Tuesday and Computers final due Wednesday, but I'm turning it in early so I can go to a couple of my son's events that day. His class portfolio will be on display in the classroom and the awards ceremony for Math Olympiads will happen at assembly that morning.
The Math professor was very impressed with my perseverance-especially with surgery in March, he said "a lot of people get surgery and drop out of school"--well, I guess having a lot of surgery as a kid, I'm more used to it. It took me a month to really get over it but fortunately it happened around spring break so I only missed a week of school. I just feel like...I'm just average, it's nothing special that I came back to school after surgery. Why wouldn't I? So If I'm that great, why do I have such shitty self esteem and confidence?
