You say you will be happy only if its an A. The problem with that is that is easily becomes that an A you got because you got lucky, or you just barely got it because you didn't study but am naturally smart is better than any B you got studying your brains off. It doesn't work that way, the value of a grade really goes more on the effort backing it. I'm not stupid, and I am taking chemistry as well. I'm supposed to be in the advanced class and I studied hours and flunked a test. Yes I'm in the advanced class so it seems that is should mean I'm getting As just as you are smart and you should be getting As. But onbiously as we both have found out, it doesn't work that way. Soemthings are harder. It doesn't matter the grade on the test, it matters if you know it when you need to use it. So make sure you know it, review what you got wrong and learn from your mistakes. If you are trying to prove something to yourself or others than stop killing yourself over it and study for the final.It will cover that material and if you make an A on that you will prove that you did learn it. And trust me, many people who made an A on that last test won't continue using it as much and may miss it on the final. So in the end it is the final that counts.
Why did you want the A? I think before you do anything else you need to decide that? Was it so you could show it to other people, was it to make yourself feel good about yourself? Was it so you could prove to yourself that you worked hard? Was it for college? You don't need to prove anything to anyone, certainly not God. God knows what you think and what he feels and I guarantee you 100percent that I values the effort and could care less about the grade. An A won't prove you worked hard either, I have gotten As I didn't deserve. Andif its for college, are you sure that it even matters? Do you need to get into a top-notch college for your future career? If so, yeah grades are important but so is the SAT score and your activities.
Now I know the main point of this was that you were unhappy with your reaction. I mean this in the nicest way- Get over it. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Move on. I honestly didn't mean to sound rude I promise. ITs making it worse so don't get angry over getting angry or you will put yourself into an even worse spot. Life moves on. You realize there was a problem in the way you thought so thats good. It shows you realize mistakes. Where you went wrong is where you beat yourself up over it. You have changed but you can't concentrate on what you have done like you are. you're concentrating on yeah I've done this but while your looking back your forgetting you still have more to do and you get caught up int he other stuff. You have come far but come on, things go slowly. If Da Vinci painted the MonaLisa in one day do you think it would have looked as good? IF adulthood is said to be the most important part of our life than why do we have childhood? ITs because we can't go too fast. When you go too fast you trip. You have come far, the way you dress now itsnt just a physical change, its a personal one too. Because you value different things now and you understand that maybe some of the other music was wrong. The most important issues are the ones that take longer so give it time
