End of Semester Worries

It’s about 5 days until the end of the semester.  I am doing really well in all of my classes.  It seems that, no matter what my grades are right now, I am still worried that I am going to fail at least one class.  I know that failing a class has a very low probability of happening.  But somehow, I still have this fear.  Is this fear a good thing?  Is it was pushes me to do my best?  I wish I had the answers.  (Not to the test, but to these questions.)

Until starting at MRU, I really didn’t see how post-secondary was really going to change my understanding about a lot of things.  I used to be that person who thought that university was for the intellectual elite.  Now, after being in school for a year and a half, I have come to a point where I am encouraging other people to go to college.  I talk to many kids and staff at Camp Chestermere that are happy with just barley getting through High School.  This saddens me, because in this day and age, a high school diploma gets you 10/hour for the rest of your life.  Of course, this is only a generalization, but it’s to make a point.

Now that I’m done trying to sell you on the idea of going to school; I guess it’s time to go back to my paper, project, and program that are due in three days.

I really wish things didn’t pile up on the last week.  I seems to happen every semester.
