Belief after relief

Nah nah that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
- Kanye West 'Stronger'


Funny how sometimes questionable music can often influence what your feelings are.

Got an essay back that I was completely nervous about today. Not only did I think I wrote it bad, I had failed the first essay of the paper by half a mark. The standards were set high! I did my best effort, but alas it wasn't enough. So i thought.

This time, I put more effort in and allowed for some time for the topic to sink in. Success.

I passed it and passed it convincingly. Not my best ever mark, but at the end of the day those in the know know that this paper is difficult (Well, the people I've spoken to about it have said that!)

Anyway, what does this mean for my confidence? Pretty much everything.

Needing only 22 marks to pass the paper, the belief is back.

And boy am I happy about it.
