Am I being paranoid?  

Posted by hidayah

Yesterday night at CE 502 class..

I got back my 1st assignment this semester..
Looked at the grade..
It's above 80, less then 90...
Syukur, Alhamdulillah..
But then the professor said...
Everybody did a good job on the 1st assignment, there's A's and B's...
I peeked my Egyptian friend's paper -- she got a 100 -- perfect score..
Took a look at a guy sitting in front me -- he got 95
Didn't manage to look at other people's grade...
There's only 7 of us in the class..
Suddenly I ferl terrible, low and disgusted with myself...
I guess I did bad compared to the others (well, I just saw the grades for two of 'em)
All of the sudden I got this mental picture about me being the worst in the class..
And then so many questions came up in my mind..
Will I be able to keep up with these people?
And sometimes I do feel I know nothing at all... zero...(kinda stupid once in a while) especially when they start throwing ideas and opinion in class
And start thinking -- geez.. how smart are these people, and how "brainless" I am..
Am I pushing/judging myself too hard? Or am I being paranoid?

*Sigh* -- I know it's not good to "sigh", but seriously, I am not feeling good about all this...

i alwayssssss feel that way too...
but dun worry dear, u will adapt...
maybe tak dapat follow the rhythm yet...

babe, mula2 mmmg mcmtu....mcm nk start engine keta...

Jgn susah hati, lama2 nanti ko dpat ar jd mcm diaorg. Aku rasa ko dah cukup hebat untuk buat phd ngan diaorg. jgn risau ek.

a'ah dayah.. jangan risau.. lama2 ko bleh lah adapt ngan sume tu.. n ko jangan lah rendah diri sgt. ko tunjuk skit ko lagi bagus dari dorang..

If you're standing among your friends, memang you may not look as good as a few of them.. tapi cuba stand among me and a few other me.. mesti you look extraordinarily outstanding..

dah okay tu.. don't push too hard.. anyway, bila dapat PhD nanti, takde nya orang tanya.. "dulu markah awak 88% or 95%?" hehehe..

betul kata k.neeza tu..:)
yg penting ilmu yang kita dapat tu kita leh manfaatkan untuk kebaikan sume...ceeewahhh!!! hehehe
