I aced the exam. I procrastinated and second-guessed myself for over 2 months. I don’t know why I do that to myself. I think likely that it is worry of failure. More like sheer dread of failure. I am now happy. On too my first course of the second semester: Personal Finance. Now that’s funny. Bipolar guy + proper management of one’s personal finance. I think I will let Ash-wife continue to pay the bills for now. LOL.
Later, Ash out…

good job!!!
Congratulations! I'm terrified of failure.. Tis why i havent gone back to school..
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I am actually terrified of success. That's what trips me up a lot. I expect and have grown accustomed to, failure. It's actually more satisfying than winning.
I think it's rooted in self-worth issues. Do I deserve to be a winner? One of my heroes, Martin Scorsese has said he thinks he is a loser. That was before the Oscars. He may have changed his mind.
Keep up the writing!
Hey!! Thanks so much for dropping by my blog. And well done on your A+; I used to be a high school teacher and really liked seeing the smile when students got "A"s. I never gave anyone an F. I didn't think (and still don't) that anyone should be told their work is a failure. anyway, i read that you're also a dad and husband, i've blogged about how hard marriage has been in some of my archived posts, e.g. "understand me" and "in sickness and health". i'd be curious to know if you relate to any of what I've experienced, or not. Take care on your walk!
Yeee-hah!!!
Yahoo for you. This is an accomplishment that can help propel you to the next task. Hope all is well with you an ash wife. I'm really sending the positive heebeegeebees your way.
In your words, butterfly out.
Thanks everyone for the congrats. I worried and worried over this test. I placed way too much stress in my life regarding the exam. I worried about failure yet I couldn’t bring myself to study. Finally I just took the plunge and set a date. I even failed to show on the first date due to anxiety. I then stressed until the results were mailed to me. I just knew that I failed at least one subject. Stress, stress, stress. Damn thing came and I had Aced the exam. Luckily I still have that inherent ability to take tests with little studying. Hopefully that ability holds up. Thanks again everyone.
