Falling

Pride comes before the fall

I like that proverb for some reason, it so easily describes mankind's inherent fault in seeing themselves above others and starting to fly and then fall back to the ground as they didn't see the obvious problem with it. Apparently it's also biblical, who knew. Also it has something to do that I constantly fall prone toward this one. I often take pride in that I see myself as an intellectual and huge capacity to feed myself new knowledge. A pity that my results doesn't show that. Yes, we got back the first sociology exam and what do you know... a G. Don't get me wrong, it's nice not to have to redo it again (like the macroeconomics that is due to April), but after all that studying and actual understanding for what I read it's a bit hard not get the corresponding grade since I completely suck at writing exam (it seems according to my track-record)... and maybe my cocky attitude in that I "know everything". What do you mean I'm bragging to much about nothing?

The funny thing though is that most people seemed to have done decently well and it wouldn't surprise me that I actually lies at the bottom tier of the class, except that those I've spoken too probably think I have a much better number. Especially compared to someone who (got a VG by the way) that ask me how it went, and I frankly said it didn't go as planned but with a smile and she just said I had to high expectations. I wouldn't call getting VG to high, not after studying for 5 years and still fail on writing long enough answers on the exam (I got 24 points by the way, of 39 and 21 is the lowest G, 30-31 VG). She probably think I got a lot better, but not full score... actually, that feels like a good start for this course since we are discussing the deceiving human who put on a masquerade in order to hide or give the impression of a certain ability. And I seem to pull of the "all-knowing and wise" character so that might... *scroll up to the top*... yeah, I probably should shut my mouth before I jump from even higher ground.
