Date: Late by one day
It's always usual to do bad on your first attempt, it is also true that people can improve from it after their first mistakes.
I don't think I did well on the first midterm, I still managed to finish all the proofs but I doubt I'll get full marks on any one of them. The first page of the midterm specifically said not to mislead the marker, but I ignored the warning and write something that looks very ambiguous and then quickly joined up the induction step to the conclusion since I'm running out of time (I started the writing part after half the midterm time had passed).
It can be attributed to the lack of practice writing proofs, as well as the lack of preparation on this midterm (how surprised I was when I looked at the question - note to self: never underestimate this course again). Luckily whatever mark I got from the midterm can be canceled out by the extremely lucky high mark obtained on the assignment.
A mistake is a mistake, the only thing I wish I could do is to learn from it and do better next time!

You'll have lots of opportunities to pull up that grade. Don't fret.
