Ninja Jen for the win


I know its not polite to brag,  but damn it, I earned this one.  I knew about a week into this course that it was going to be a loooooong difficult semester.  The course material was not that difficult but for me, the only way for me to get good at things like math, is to practice, practice, practice and it was extremely difficult to find the time to do that with everything that was going on.

Team Solis paid the price for this A too-  eating crappy foods (Hamburger Helper anyone?) and putting up with crabby Jen and a seriously disastrous house.  

I was pretty sure this A was not going to happen,  when I went in for my final I knew the material inside and out but for some reason when I put pencil to paper it just wasn't coming as easily as it should have.  I sat there working out logarithmic and exponential equations- things that I had down- over and over and not getting the right answer and it quickly overwhelmed me.  I left the class feeling extremely defeated and certain that all of my hard work and the Team's sacrifices were going to be wasted with a B or even (GASP) a C.  I haven't seen the graded final yet-  so I'm still not sure what the heck happened,  I'd even be willing to concede that this was a pity grade from my teacher.  But honestly- I feel like I earned an A.  I know this stuff and I had to drive myself to the brink of insanity to know it!  

I am going to now thoroughly enjoy my summer off and then get back at in in the fall with my kick ass academic scholarship.... Ninja Jen!
