But... why give up before a fight? Where has all those enthusiasm and fighting spirit so intense during freshman year gone to?
True, those are the super smart people in class who will bring the curve up. They are so much smarter, AND they work so much harder. I am neither of both, what more can I expect? A miracle???
So I came to conclusion, it's alright if i'm not that super smart, but I'm not dumb either, if I work very very very hard from now on, I can compensate for my lack of background! I AM going to take my classes seriously now.
Not to mention I have a very supportive professor I do not want to disappoint. I guess he could feel my panic and depression so he spent a whole hour tutoring me in basic things my classmates all know. He extended my problem set last week because I told him I was too tired to complete it and today (thursday) , when I told him I only did half of the problem set dued on 4 days ago (Monday) and was prepared to drop the set,
he said :"ok, if you do any more problems today you can hand them in tomorrow".
Then I said :" I have an organization event tonight so I probably can't work on them. If I do them over the weekend can I hand in on Monday?"
(Ok, this is what Chinese calls you get an Inch, you demand a meter得寸进尺)
Then he said:"(paused a few moments) .....(glared at me).... OK"
But...I am motivated now. No more feeling sorry for myself! This is the path I choose, and I am going to make sure I don't regret it.
絶対負けない！！！
And, (ok, I should stop watching that many series of Naruto everyday), but really, sometimes, animes can be moving, motivating. And this was actually part of what motivated me and gave me back my confidence:
"自分を信じる力。それは運命を変える力だ。"
(The power to believe in yourself. That's the power to change your fate.)
