i've been getting the first of my exams and papers back for school this week and i'm feeling pretty high and mighty. i'm taking mostly philosophy classes, so the work is mostly essays and writing and theoretical type stuff, so when i hand something in, i'm always unsure of how good it is. like, i think it's good, otherwise i wouldn't have handed it in, but i'm never sure if it's going to be good by the professor's standards, or whatever. it's always so subjective, so there's always that thought in the back of your head where you're not sure if you did it awesomely or horribly, as opposed to more objective tests, where you either know what you're talking about, or you don't.
so i get my first test back, i'm sweating bullets (well not really but i'm nervous is the point i'm trying to make here) and as the professor hands it to me, he says "well done", or something like that, which is pretty damn sweet, considering he's one of the more respected professors in the department. he gave me a B+/A-, i'm not completely sure which one it is, and i forgot to ask because i was so relieved, but now that i think about it, that's a little wierd.
then i get another paper back today, from another professor that everyone says grades pretty roughly, and it's another A-. i nearly had to masturbate in the bathroom right then, but i didn't. i was so worried about the paper too, because it was a fairly daunting assignment. you have to pick a part of a philosopher's argument, explain it, then argue against it, and i picked an extremely miniscule premise of an argument and wrote the whole paper on that somehow. i was worried that he'd think the scope was too narrow to justify writing a whole paper (not so worried that i asked him about it ahead of time though) and i'd get an F or something, but man, that feels pretty awesome.
so i'm feeling pretty on top of the world right now, i must say. not "i can talk to girls" awesome, but still pretty good. what's better is that my LSAT score is due this weekend. if these trends continue.....aaayyyyyy
