Sometimes I actually use the internet for things
I tried looking at the website for my manifolds course last Saturday to see if my exam was today, and all it said was to expect an exam this week. So, naturally, I have been doing little other than studying for the last couple of days, including an all-nighter last night leaving me with just enough left in my proverbial tank to last through class period.
Of course, this means that when I checked the website for the class today, it said the exam is next week, and I just spent all night reading clear through the first six chapters of my textbook for nothing. I think I'm going to go sleep now.
On the bright side, this means two things:
1) I am totally going to ace my midterm, since I am more than ready for it now. I actually have a decent intuitive understanding of vector bundles on smooth manifolds now, and that's something I couldn't say a couple of weeks ago.
2) Instead of wearing myself out over exams this week, I am going to go home and enjoy what Netflix has sent me. Sure, I have another exam tomorrow, but that is one I thought was going to be last Thursday, so I pretty much did the same thing with it. It was more my fault that time, though, as I missed class on Tuesday, when there was supposed to be a review session, only to have the professor miss class as well, postponing the review and the exam. I have another exam on Wednesday, but that's for a class I find easy as pie, I already know the material on it, the professor drops one exam score in that class, and I got strong A's on the first two midterms.
This is a good day. Instead of feeling like an utter failure (as can be caused by exams), I feel like I belong in grad school, and I have a real chance at a 4.0.
