Got back Sociology term paper yesterday and wasn't I surprised when I realized I didn't get a C for this paper?! We got a B+, which is considered VERY good to me, in regards to my tutor's expectations and my perception of grades.

The semester ended well, good enough for me to rejoice. From now on it's one week of battle, then a month of rest. Really hope I dun screw up my first semester, like I did in poly. Sometimes it's really not an issue of being competitive and wanting to win, but rather- knowing that u could have done better yet didn't put in enough effort. I guess what I dun want to, is to feel a tinge of guilt.

Now that I've successfully taken the first step and halfway through the race, all I need to do is to have my eyes set on the finishing line and await the moment. But before I do that, I have to prepare myself for the 'dying/flying process'.

Try your best, is it good enough?
If not, your best was simply not good enough.
Do your best. But how do you know it is your best?
Because you don't, you don't have any reason not to try harder.
The realization of this is what leads to the best, to perfection.
