My first 4.0!

Today I got my mark for my last practicum class (October) and I got 95% - which is 4.0 in GPA language! Wow! I have never gotten that before and am just totally amazed. Amazed at the mark but also amazed that I got that in that class! I thought I would have done much lower - although I always think I bomb before I get a mark back (something to do with my low self-confidence maybe?). But I was shocked. I am still reeling from it. I need to pinch myself. To understand this I will explain - I always thought I wasn't that smart. In high school I barely scraped by in some subjects (mostly math and science) and even failed a few. I have always thought I was dumb in many areas. When I was in Bible College I never really got good marks because honestly my social life was more important, but then I never thought I could get good grades anyway - so why try. When I went back to get my BA a few years ago - I was astounded at getting good marks and really struggled with it - I even got counseling myself for this issue. I finally accepted that I am not dumb and can get good grades (although I still don't think in math - but I don't care becuase I use a calculator). But this blows me away! Now my overall GPA is 3.55 - amazing. I am not meaning to brag if it sounds like it - I am just really floored.
