Crap..

Failure doesn't feel as good as it used to...I'm fairly sure I just sacrificed my Stats "A" because I didn't study well enough. I may have also sacrificed my A in Psych, although that one is not nearly as likely. I wonder what teachers think when they see my grades.. "Oh, 91 and 94 on the tests, respectively, always shows up for class, 100% on in class assignments...oh? what's this? a 48% on the final? That brings her down to a B-. Sucks for her." Although my hope is that all humans, especially teachers, hold grace as something highly valued and free to all. and by grace i mean curves. big ones.

three more days, three more exams to fail. *sigh*

on a more beautiful note:

petrichor (PET-ri-kuhr) noun

The pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell.

[From petro- (rock), from Greek petros (stone) + ichor (the fluid that is supposed to flow in the veins of the gods in Greek mythology). Coined by researchers I.J. Bear and R.G. Thomas.]

"But, even in the other pieces, her prose breaks into passages of lyrical beauty that come as a sorely needed revivifying petrichor amid the pitiless glare of callousness and cruelty." Pradip Bhattacharya; Forest Interludes; Indianest.com; Jul 29, 2001.

At bottom, every man knows perfectly well that he is a unique being, only once on this earth; and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time. -Friedrich Nietzsche, philosopher (1844-1900)
