At last, I have triumphed.
Eat that, school.
Beside the fact that I had to wake up at 7:30am, the morning went really well. I turned in my IME project and for a 95% AND got to eat cookies. Yeah, that's pretty sweet, since it was like 50% of my grade.
Then I came back home at 11 and started studying for my physics midterm. I studied for 2 hours straight, covered all of the topics on our "study guide" sheet, and made a notecard of equations and values that we are allowed to use.
I got the test and the first problem was something I hadn't studied. It was 9 (of 100) points, and it was multiple choice. Almost a full letter grade resting on a 1/4 chance. I took my best guess and turned the page. From then on, it was stuff I had studied and blasted through it in 40 minutes. The cool thing about this test was that she gave us the solutions sheet as we walked out, so that we can study for the final. I got the first problem right, and I'm pretty sure I got 100% on all except one 15-point derivation that I'm not sure if I did the right way. Either way, the worst grade I think I possibly got was an 85%, but hopefully partial credit will bring it up to an "A". Sweet.
My CPE lab test went well, so I'm pretty sure I'll have an "A" in that. Although, I forgot we had to do an experiment today, so I wasn't out of there as soon as I thought I might be. Afterwards, I went to the study room in the library (first time!) and did the "take-home" part of my EE test. I think I did pretty well, and that's 25% of my grade right there.
I came home, took a break and messed around with linux, trying to get SpeedStep and Suspend-to-Disk working. No dice. Oh well. By the time I started to get a little tired, I studied EE for a while. I'm not super-worried, only a little bit. I'll just do my best and see what happens.
I know all my posts have been about school lately but believe it or not, reader, keeping myself sane and organized is more important than being entertaining. I know, with that attitude I'd never make it in showbiz. OR WOULD I?!?
