7/13/2008 - Midterm, and perspective
Posted in Unspecified

Well, my online midterm for my IT course is over with. I got 33 of 40 questions right, for a score of 82.5 percent. I'm just hoping to get at least a B out of the course, so that's fine with me. But I feel a bit misled, since a lot of things were on the test that were not on our study guide, and vice versa. Oh well.

Working at the department store is giving me some good perspective about my life and its trivial problems. A number of shoppers are accompanied by mentally retarded people, and yesterday one couple was pushing in a wheelchair a young boy who seemed to have some sort of palsy disorder or something, and he had a piece of cloth stuck in his mouth like a gag. Seeing people like this makes me really appreciate the fact that I am physically sound, and even though I have bipolar, it is a mild case of the disorder, and aside from that I am mentally sound, with a high IQ that I should be grateful for. Compared to what some of those people go through, my problems are nothing.

I didn't know you were bipolar. There's another person with bipolar (at least one, that is) on Journal Home, but his is very severe. Good luck on your studies. I wonder if the gag was really there to catch drool. I read medical journals for a living and some of these unfortunate people have quite a problem in that area.
