sucked. well not that badly, but still, it was not good by any means. had I realized that the final exam was going to be a compilation of all the homeworks we did all semester I would have studied those, not my textbook. It's a terrible feeling having to leave answers blank without even a guess as to what it might be. Not something I've done often, I always have some kind of clue, but not this time. At least it's not worth a huge part of my grade- only 15% or something small like that. I'm not worried about my grade in the class, but I feel like I kinda failed myself because I didn't know some things at all and too many of those answers I did put down are left to chance that I got them right. Not a good feeling. This is why, for my history exam, even though I only need 58% on the final to get an A in the class because my average is so high, I will study for it anyway. I have standards. Some people may call it overachieving, but just because it doesn't show up on my transcript doens't mean that I didn't fail something. that is something I just don't do. failing, that is.
As for my juries this semester, I was feeling rather confident in my music and how much I've learned this semester until yesterday morning when I woke up with a terrible cough that has grown into a sinus headache and sore throat as well today. I am doing everything in my power to make it go away by monday when I have the jury. I WILL NOT postpone this one like I had to last time. My other-than-fantastic health will always be something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life, so I have to learn to get through performances with sickness and do whatever I can to heal otherwise. As long as my voice is unaffected, the show must go on. I went to the supermarket to get medicine to combat this and came across something that's supposed to help boost the immune system. I hope it works!! Maybe I won't get sick as often (which is a new occurance since college started- well maybe not that new 3 semesters is long time, but never before did i get sick so much).
