Head bash

Well I got my chem finals results back today. Suffice to say, I got a B+ in the class. That's right, a B.

GAH.

It's the first time I have ever gotten a B in a class; I've maintained straight A's throughout all of school! And now to be brought down by a single Chemistry class...wow. I am frustrated, to say the least. And to take the cake, we don't even get our exams back to see what the problems were, so I'm going to be wondering where on earth I went wrong but won't have any way of knowing! And I got a stinkin' B!! Ugh.

But, as my mom has been telling me, life goes on. And for an extreme perfectionist like me, I need to just let it go. Because fretting is not going to help me in any way; it's just going to make things worse for me.

So...I'm trying to loosen up about it. Which is partly why I'm ranting on Blogger (sorry you guys for putting you through this). And I guess I'm feeling somewhat better.

Olive Tree said...: Aw! ((hugs)) I totally know how you feel. Last year I had a very nasty and un-explanatory algebra teacher and I had a B+ in that class... JUST that ONE class. It kept me off High Honor Roll and totally screwed with my straight-A status. Oh well... Anyway, I feel your pain. ((hugs again)); December 13, 2009 3:55 AM
Hawk said...: Aw thanks Olive! *hugs back* Oh man, I'm sorry, that is such a bummer! It's so frustrating when one single thing messes up everything else, especially when that thing is not due to your fault. :P; December 13, 2009 7:47 AM

God's peace and protection

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

I can't explain nearly how much this verse has helped me. Call on God when you're having those bad thoughts, those hard situations, when everything feels like it's falling apart and you know you're under a spiritual attack. He will protect you. Trust me, I know from experience. I was lying in bed one night, and all of these thoughts about my life not being worth anything, and that there was no purpose for me to live, started coming into my head. It honestly felt like volley after volley of arrows coming and hitting me. I prayed to God, asking Him to make it stop--and it did. Almost instantly, I felt this warm, protective presence fill my mind and a mental wall went up, blocking the enemy's darts. I thank God so much for His love and protection! He truly is wonderful and amazing.
