Sometimes you don't do as well as you think you would...

you are slapped in the face, humbled and brought crashing down to earth. It's a b!tch when that happens and you certainly get a reality check of where you are and you are put back in your place.

Thats what you get for asking to be let out of the cage.

So Gladiators went well for you I take it.

Prepare for a pride obliterating bitch slap.

Yep. It's gonna happen to me in about 3 weeks. It sucks because I hate the anticipation, and the possibility to succeed when I'm sure it won't happen.

Heh...I got my come-uppance last night in my math final. I pulled a "C" in the class, testing on stuff I know backwards and forwards...I still don't know WTF happened. I'll meet with the instuctor this afternoon to go over it with him. The hard stuff I did good on...it was the easy stuff I fucked up.
(business math...nothing difficult) I must have screwed up in my reading of the dammed amortization tables. That's the part I got wrong. I've gotten "A's" on the other tests doing this stuff...
Ah well, I should still pull an "A" for the course.

It's pretty sickening when that happens, but you live and learn and thats the most important aspect. I know not to be such a c0ck next time around where the skills do not match.
