I'm in shock, but BEYOND ecstatic! Ladies and gentlemen... I've passed my Oceanography midterm exam! Yes, seriously! I was 2 points from an A as well. I'm truly shocked! I didn't think I would pass the exam because I was so out of it and I didn't even finish the essays because I was so stressed out. But I passed. Thank you, Prof. Dewart! And, a big, huge special thank you to St. Joseph of Cupertino (patron saint of exams/test takers) and St. Thomas Aquinas (patron saint of students). I asked for their intercessions. Really, I asked for at least a low C but they completely came through for me. My confidence just shot through the roof! I was honestly dreading not passing my Oceanography class (which would be a first for me; I'm sort of a nerd, lol) because it's the most intense but I'm so confident that I'll pass it now! :D I feel like doing a cartwheel but I still kind of crummy from the second cold (yes, it's officially the second one) so I'll wait until I get better to celebrate. :D
Oh, and I wanted to share the prayers I said to both saints in case any of you want to use them in the future for your studies and exams.
St. Joseph of Cupertino
O St. Joseph of Cupertino who by your prayer obtained from God to be asked at your examination, the only preposition you knew. Grant that I may like you succeed in the (here mention the name of Examination eg. History paper I ) examination.
In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.
O St. Joseph of Cupertino pray for me
O Holy Ghost enlighten me
Our Lady of Good Studies pray for me
Sacred Head of Jesus, Seat of divine wisdom, enlighten me.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Creator of all things,
true source of light and wisdom,
origin of all being,
graciously let a ray of your light penetrate
the darkness of my understanding.
Take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of sin and ignorance.
Give me a keen understanding,
a retentive memory, and
the ability to grasp things
correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent
of being exact in my explanations
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning,
direct the progress,
and help in the completion.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Alright, I have a World's Great Religions assignment to finish... then finish this week's Oceanography assignment... then work on the English Lit critical analysis of "Wife of Bath" by Chaucer... etc. Yes, more school craziness for me. Hopefully next blog I'll be able to share this beautiful dream I had where that involved a golden crucifix I found. :D
As always, thanks for reading and God Bless. :D
P.S. Oh, also a big thank you to St. Therese of Lisieux as well. I had a very bad morning yesterday (health wise) and I prayed for her intercession -- ended up falling asleep and woke up so much better. Have I mentioned how much I love her and her story? That will also be coming up soon. :D

Thank you St Joseph of Cupertino, for answering my prayers.
I had asked for St. Joseph Cupertino's intercession in helping me pass two of my nursing exams and each time I received an A- and a solid A. For the second exam, which was so crucial as to whether I would remain in the nursing program, I received the shock of my like. As I began taking the test, the first question had me stuck and I thought, omg, this can't be happening. But something said to remain calm. And so I did. But in the back of my mind, as I began to answer more questions, I still couldn't help but think, "This test is hard, I'm not going to pass." So, at the end of the exam, when the score was automatically tallied, and I found that I had passed with flying colors, I absolutely could not believe it. I was in total shock! I knew that it was St. Cupertino's intercession. Thank you, St. Cupertino!
Thank you Lord and St. Joseph Cupertino for prayers answered. My mother and I prayed a novena to St. Joseph for my son and his girlfriend to pass the bar exam. They received the results this week and both passed!
Giving all praise and glory, thank you!
