Congratulations!

I hope you're inspired by fandom to even greater heights!

Fandom's a great inspiration tool! No shame in that!

Years ago, I had generally borderline-pass grades for a Maths subject. Shortly before the most important exam, one thing I thought of was how Holmes wouldn't have let a Maths tutor get the better of him. My exam grade was higher than my previous one probably because I was allowed more time to study independently. Still, there was that funny thought.

File under: Not too damaging but still not going to admit this openly.

Wait, what kind of sucky tutor did you have? o_o

[(Anonymous)]

My teacher was a nice person. Just that they brought my class through each topic really slowly, so we even had make-up lessons because we were behind everyone else because of the pace. Also, they often liked to talk about their family during class time.

Sounds like it would have been good for someone who wasn't good at the subject, but what happened was we spent too much time on what I could do. And when we were stuck doing what I found more difficult I still felt lost when we were supposed to do things I hadn't grasped well, they just went through them really slowly while I was trying to look back on what I got wrong in the basics.

I know my grades weren't their fault, so the Moriarty "inspiration" was just a silly thing that sprouted from my id. Maybe if I managed my time better I would've had more time to study on my own while I still had to attend their classes.

But in the end, days to review everything at home on my own really helped.

Hey, if it works, it works.

So...no one pointing out that Moriarty was a professor of mathematics?

[atalantapendrag]

This was my thought!

I couldn't sleep the night before a really important exam a few weeks ago. Came in bleary-eyed, groggy and convinced I would fail.

There's this sword-and-sorcery book I read a long time ago that's stuck with me, where mages undergo various trials to progress through the ranks. One is a trial of endurance, demanding weeks of hard work on little sleep. I told myself, 'if they can do that, I can do this'. It worked. I stopped panicking and the exam went well. It didn't matter that they were fictional characters in an implausible universe: it's all about state of mind.
