Well I am not accustomed to failing. I know, I know...poor me, right?! Well I admit that I am pretty spoiled in the fact that I have never NOT made the team or NOT gotten the grade or NOT gotten into a school. Well I just found out that I failed part of one of my comprehensive exams. That was not expected and I was totally at a loss on how to handle it. Yesterday was not a good day for me. But after some introspection and a discussion with my major professor and the offending committee member I feel much better. SO to keep it short, I have to retake two questions on a test, but I get to prepare my answers in advance. So its not a big deal. It could have been much,much worse.
But the best thing to come out of this is my new found determination to prove to my committee and to myself that I CAN do this and I WILL do this. My horoscope today was totally appropriate, I think: More than ever before, you'll feel as though it is time to take matters into your own hands and build your own career future. You are fed up with living on hope, and putting off your happiness until tomorrow. Your determination will be so strong that you may even surprise yourself. Tomorrow, you'll refine your approach and make it more concrete. Today is the first day of a new life for you, dear Pisces.
So from here on out, I am going to focus on furthering my career through reading books and articles and really concentrating on expanding my base knowledge of biology and to know something about everything so that I never get in a situation where I am totally unable to participate in a conversation b/c I don't know anything about the topic. I know you can not ever be totally prepared for everything but I making it my mission to try.
Wish me luck!!!
