What the . . . ! I passed my first week of psychology 101?! O_o

They just posted the grades for Week 1 and I’m utterly shocked. Good freaking lord, the way this stuff has been fucking with my mind, I really was expecting . . . maybe a B at the absolute highest. No, somehow I pulled off an A complete with the extra credit assignment I turned in the first day.

Honestly, it feels like this class is wiping the floor with me. My textbooks arrived on Tuesday and so I started reading. It takes me forever to get through a single chapter, which is irritating since I can normally devour a average book. The frequent essay questions drive me buggy, especially when I have classmates that make me look like the village idiot. It’s hard coming up with things to say in the online classroom (forum) so I can get my participation grade — especially given the depth of things everyone is talking about. The lurker in me wants to say “Someone else already said that, so just shaddup.” No, I have beat the ol’ lurkmeister into submission and put my 2cp in anyway.

A part of me keeps wanting to say that the A was a pity grade, since I didn’t have my textbooks. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say that it’s probably just my perception. It feels hard, so I’m putting more effort into my work and I’m just being my usual, overcritical self.

Either way, this is nice — very nice, in fact. Here’s hoping I can keep this up. =D
