You opened up my mind

I was very down today because
1# I saw something I don't want to see at all
2# I screwed up my CT paper
3# I get 5.6 for my Econs presentations
I nearly cried when I got my economics' coursework marks. I did very badly.
And the best part is I thought I did not bad in it as I got compliments for my presentations from the tutor.
I don't understand why in the end she gave me such low marks.
If she had planned to give such low marks, why she bother to compliment me and gave me hope on it. I'm so disappointed and I feel so stupid to be happy.
It's like I was being fooled.
In fact this is not the first time.
I had the same situation for my Critical Thinking presentation.
After three months studying here, I realize that I was over confident in everything I do.
I hate to be someone like that. I was all stressed up.
But thanks to a friend of mine who appeared suddenly and tell me that he himself also realized that he is over confident as well. I like one of his quotes ' we are here not to be good but to learn". I should follow that principle.
It feels so much better now that I know I'm not alone.
Someone is correcting himself just like I am correcting myself.
All I can do is work hard for better outcomes in future. I can no longer aim for 4.0 but improvement.
