Failure

So I failed my first exam.

I am conflicted, as I both feel I deserved to fail, based on the exam and my lack of in depth knowledge on the topic. But I also feel injustice, as I know if every student had been asked the same questions as me, more would have failed as well.

Other students scored very highly in the exam. I have no doubt that some of these students are smarter than me and would always score higher than me. But perhaps if I had their examiners, I would not have done so miserably. No, I definitely would not have done so poorly.

Luck of the draw, I suppose. I don't want to be a whinger. But I am one.

Just need to really buckle down and study for the remaining assessments.

Love Lisa.

On Repeat

Okay, the people around me seem to often tell me the same thing again or repeat the same story and not realise they've told me before. Sometimes more than twice.

I'm not sure whether it is me specifically they can't remember telling things to, if most people are forgetful or I'm just a strange person that remembers most things people tell me...

It is driving me a little nuts.

The worst is when I've taught someone or advised someone how to do something, then they bring it up again months later and try to teach me what I taught them in the first place?!

Exhibit A 

A friend pointed out she owns the same shoes at me, she saw the way I tied my shoelaces and was intrigued, she said she's never thought of tying her laces like that. Months later we're both wearing the same shoes on the same day, she points out 'hey look we have the same shoes and omg we tie them the say way too!'

Maybe it's also my fault because I don't seem to be able to bring myself to tell the other person that they're on bloody repeat and I can basically recount their story word for word.

Ugh maybe I'm just being haughty and/or petty, forgive me if I am.

It's just that a similar scenario happened today too. It's late, I've had a ridiculously long day.

Over and out,

Love Lisa.
