Am I Dreaming??

If you're friends with me on FB, then you already know that our midterm exams were handed back last night. I was one very happy girl. I made a 97% on the midterm and it was the highest grade in the class. Matter of fact, I'm not sure that there were any other A's in the class. Yes, you read that correctly. Yours truly made the highest grade and a 97%! I'm still in shock. I honestly asked the guy who sits beside me (a graduate from Vanderbilt) if this was the test or the practice test that we had done. I just couldn't believe that I made such a high grade.

Sunday night, I had a dream that I received a 100% on the test and I woke up happy at first, but then disappointed because it was just a dream. Honestly, there were so many things that I knew he'd pick at, but apparently I was being too hard on myself. :) I'd like to think of my dream as God telling me to not worry. I feel so happy and so proud of myself. I'm pretty sure that the only other time that I've made this good of grade on a test was in my high school Chemistry class.

Also to be noted... the professor embarrassed me. He was handing back some of our homework and made a comment about how mine was 3 pages long and everyone else had turned in 1 page. He kept on about how my answers were detailed and didn't leave anything to question, blah blah blah. I was proud but yet wanted him to shut up. He also said that he'd like me to email him a copy of my homework because I had "model answers." I made a 98% on the homework he handed back. So far, the only things that I've made less than A on were the 2 quizzes. Yay! We'll see how I do on this next assignment - that is HUGE, btw. Ugh.

Anyways, tonight's plans include....tanning, maybe stopping by to purchase some jeans, making dinner, finishing the trimming of the bushes in the front yard (I actually love doing this!!!!), homework, and bike riding. I'm exhausted already! Seriously, I stopped by and got a LARGE Diet Coke this morning! ha!
