September's been sort of crazy.
MTH132; According to the prof, we're getting our 10-question-100-point test back on Monday. Also according to him, our "answers were weak." Shit, man, the AP class back in high school is supposed to be nearly the same, and I did fairly well there and got a 5 on the AP, and you're telling me that it's a mistake that I'm retaking it? I meant to get off to a good start, but this really isn't working. Especially since I guessed on three of the questions.
ISS215; Most boring prof ever. A good chunk of our grade is based on attendance (he probably realized early on that people wouldn't ever show up unless he did that), and even though he puts his notes online, we come to class and all he does is read directly from them. Due to his boringness, most of the 90 students have resorted to bringing their laptops to class -- Facebooking and all that. But it's also because of that that I somehow missed an assignment. Now all I know is that we have something due on Tuesday that has something to do with a news article that relates to our class, and I have no clue what the guidelines are or if he even stated them. The one other girl in my class whose name I know also has no idea. Shit.
CEM141; Thought I did better on that exam, but got an 82% instead. It's still an A according to the (fixed) scale, but it was supposed to be the easiest one by far, we're only getting a few more this semester, and did I mention that I really need a four-point? I guess it's not very logical that I should skip class twice this week, but I noticed that all you have to do is do all the past exams in the exam booklet, which I should've done earlier instead of trying to do them all in one night. (Didn't work, by the way.)
CEM161; aka, the lab of doom! According to the syllabus, since the lab is handled by a bunch of different TAs, they'll be "normalizing" the grades so that the average of each lab is the same. (Oh, crap.) But without the weird curve thing, you only get to miss 6 points before you lose that four-point. Daaaaaamn.
PSY101; Okay, this was kind of funny and yet sad at the same time. xD So, night before the exam (around midnight, actually), my roommate, who has the same class and prof but at a different time, comes over to our (mine and Ashley's) side of the room to talk. She's going on and on about how she's studied for a while now and that she has such a WONDERFUL memory and is very confident, and she'll probably just review one more time before the exam. It kind of annoyed me. ("Cocky, isn't she. DIE DIE DIE. D:") At this point, I'd just started reading the chapters and was on the page 3 (applause, please) of around 300 pages. But in the end, I got bored and only finished the prologue and skimmed two of the five chapters, and then glanced over the vocab and lecture notes. Hopped off to take the exam and got an 87%, which kind of bothered me, but I tried not to let it since obviously I didn't study for it very much. But the highlight of the day is when our fourth roommate asks her, "So how did that psych exam go?" And her answer: "I got an F." Wtf, seriously. What's with people and bragging when they're not really all that good? :|
Tomorrow is Owen's birthday! I don't know him too well, so I got a card. It's cute, though. (I really hope he gets the joke, LOL, otherwise it's a total disaster. The cashier looked at it and laughed.)
I'm not really sure what I'll do all weekend. My mom's coming to visit tomorrow (that is, if the plans don't fall through because she gets lazy or because she's mad that I don't want to apply for whatever Medical Scholars Program because, to be honest, I have no chance) and we'll probably have lunch and wander around campus. I'll probably end up at the bookstore or something. I'm spending a lot of time there, apparently. xD
I had about 10 minutes of utter panic earlier today after Calc when I thought I lost my cell phone, but it'd just fallen to the bottom of my backpack and was hidden beneath...I don't know. The bottom-folds. Or something. I experienced about 5 seconds of UTTER RELIEF -- and then realized that I had an appointment with my adviser today and oh my god I left my planner in my dorm and what if I already missed it?
Turns out I did. I sent an email to my adviser apologizing and waited IN VERY MUCH SUSPENSE until she replied saying it's okay, and thanks for the email. I still feel bad, though. It wouldn't have happened if I had gone to Chem this morning like I was supposed to and actually checked my planner.
Anyway, the list of things I have to watch/read:
Bleach (SIGH.)
Heroes
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Any other suggestions while I'm at it?
