Grading

Heyla!

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been meaning to post, but I've just had so much going on that I keep putting it off. I'll attempt to be fairly brief because this is going to sound like a bragging blog soon. I wanna talk about how school is going for me!
Today we had a practical exam.... and I got a 99.5!! :D I took my Private Teaching Session last week, and received the grade for that today as well. I got a 95!! On our quizzes, I often get upwards of a 100 (because I get everything right, as well as the bonus questions). Suffice to say, I rarely get anything under a 90, and when I do, it's usually hastily done homework. Even then, I never get anything below an 80.
Tomorrow we have a written exam, and I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how I'll do.
From these statements, you can understand that I'm doing extremely well in my classes at massage school. I'll let you in on another secret: I don't study more than an hour a week, and the only practice I usually do outside of class is when an classmate asks for help. That's maybe once a month.
Now, I'm writing all of this here for a very simple reason: I can't tell anyone else!! If I say how good my grades are, no matter what the provocation, it sounds like I'm bragging. And if people ask me how much I've studied, I have to demur to answer or they'll feel really stupid for studying for days and getting lower scores than someone like me, who doesn't study at all. So I'm finding it more and more difficult to talk to everyone, because more and more the topic comes to grades, studying, and what they're doing to improve. I can't contribute, so I feel rather isolated! >.<
Don't get me wrong: I'm exultant that I can get such good grades and understand the material so easily. I just wish I could talk with the others without having to understate my grades or overstate my study habits. It feels close to lying, but I would rather lie about something like that than make others feel like I think I'm better than they are. *siiiigh*
So! Suffice to say, I'm doing really well in school, and not really doing much else nowadays. I should look for a job, but we don't know where we're gonna be after May, and I really can't take on a job and quit it so easily. It won't look good on a resume either. I have been trying to get a reception job at a clinic so that after I graduate they may just hire me to be a massage therapist part-time and continue the reception hours, and even if its short term, it would look better on a resume to see my flexibility. But no one responds to my inquiries. :( And hubby's gotten a few rejection letters, and no acceptance letters, so I think we're both feeling a little stressed right now. So we snap at each other, and the frustration builds up a little more than we're used to, so I think it's safe to say that the honeymoon period is over. Which is a little sad. But not that unexpected.

And just for the hell of it:
