More fails than passes

I'm trying to accept the fact that in court reporting school, there are always going to be more failed tests than passed tests. I'm sure it's like this for everyone. It's hard because throughout my life, I've always been a fast learner and I can pick up new things without too much effort. I know it drove a lot of people crazy, but that's just how I am. In school, I could get decent grades and only do a minimal amount of work, kind of a jack-of-all-trades, you know.

In court reporting I feel like I try harder than I have at almost anything I've done in my life and yet I'm not progressing very fast. With this much effort I feel like I should have been done ages ago. Grrrrr, school can be so frustrating.

I got 96% on ANOTHER 1-minute, 140 4-voice, test. I'm going to keep telling myself, "More fails than passes, more fails than passes, more fails than passes."

On a lighter note, the theme for the court reporting club's homecoming float is Cinderella. We're going to make a pumpkin carriage! I'm pretty excited about it, but I'm also anxious because I have no idea how to build a pumpkin carriage for a parade of floats. Any advice would be much appreciated.
