  • Good for you (not being sarcastic). For me, I can’t overlook it. I need to have a good score, the entire game revolve around it and me trying to get a good grade. This feels a chore for me, and although I know that it doesn’t mean anything about myself, I still get a bad feeling when it happens and when I do get a good grade, I don’t feel relived, I feel like this is what I needed that do and it was expected of me.

    This was 13 years ago and today I have a bs.c. In computer science and working at as technical team lead in a big software company, managing engineers.

    I sometimes remembering this and smile to myself. I don’t think she knows what I’m doing today, but the fact that I know I made it, gives me comfort
