I'm Really Not A Perfectionist



But when I took my midterm on Friday for my CNA class, I missed

1 question


and got a


99.


Sigh. Ugh. Bah!! I wasn't trying for a hundred, I would have studied all week, re-read the readings, made extensive notes, and so forth, but I decided a week before the midterm not to go for the 100 but when I saw that grade, my eyes nearly popped out of my head and I tried to hold back the squeal of anguish in my throat.

My tablemate saw my grade, and my reaction, and at her exclamation, half our side of the class knew and were throwing raised eyebrows and nearly spitting the words, "You got a 99 and your upset?" at me. I had to inform them that Blanche behind me also got a 99. She, with her beautiful South African accent, says, "Wha...Shamika! I thought we were friends." But it was all in good fun.


I know its okay, no one has ever got a 100 on the midterm so, I shouldn't freak out about it.


Anymore.


I have the weekend to get over it.
