almost funny but not quite laughing yet
Woke up once more at around 2:30 AM... Don't know what is going on. I slept for 4 hours total yesterday. I should be exhausted. Feeling lucid. Hopefully it will last till noon (end of my second exam).
So Jim called me at around 10 last night (I was already asleep?!?) and told me he had an appointment on wednesday or something. Would have been nice to have known that more than 14 hours before I was scheduled to check out. I hope this does not inconvenience my RA. I will not be leaving until Thursday, now. A day off? Fair enough, I guess.
They made the physics exam so god damned easy. I swear I spent more time writing that god damned equations sheet than I did taking the exam. Fairly confident I have my A in there. And (despite being robbed of several points because the TAs were silly) I recieved an A in phy lab! It's only one credit, but I was worried they would steal .5 points from my grade point total :)
So that leaves my grades to Signals and Higher Education. I got an A on the first paper and an 88 on the written test in Higher Ed, but the second paper has yet to be graded. I'll probably get an A or a B+ there.
As for Signals... I doubt very much that my final grade (projecting it to be roughly 83%) will be an A. Depends how everyone else did. Very likely a B+, though, since he said an 85% was flirting with an A (based on his previous curves).
Has anyone else ever had this happen to them in a class? You start off and the class is terrible. The very foundations for the coursework are supposed to be review but you hardly recognize them. In fact, you spent more time playing with it in HS physics for fun (I'm talking e^(i*pi)) than in a class. Eventually you get the hang of things and your grades are excellent from there on out. You really understand the material, but you are going to get a lower grade than your understanding warrants because early on you did not grasp the concepts. It seems odd that you can know the material and do poorly because at one point you did not.
Not that a B+ is doing badly, but its worse than an A.
I wrote more than I felt like (rambled on, really) in the hopes that I would start feeling sleepy again. I have another 5 hours before my alarm goes off... What to do... FOOD ! So hungry.
EDIT: AAARRRGGG... I just went for a snack and realized that I had rationed my yogurt stocks to coincide with my leaving. Now I am short on yogurt! Noooo! I must head to the store today. Wow. Today already. It's only 3... Usually 3 is still yesterday. :)
