One More to Go.

So I now have done 3 of 4 of my finals. Strangely though, I feel good so far. After the A on the astronomy final I feel like things may be going well this first quarter.

Yesterday was chemistry, which I feel went rather well. Chemistry was hard, don't get me wrong. I finally sat down and studied for that painful experience. There were a few instances when I was stuck on a problem then randomly, "THIS CHAIR IS FUN!!!!!" AND IT REALLY WAS! That stupid thought crossed my mind a few times though. I felt a little bad with my TA sitting in front of me, watching me as I randomly started to spin around in my chair. It was the weirdest thing. I had never sat on a chair that was on a swivel arm from between two chairs before. On top of that, the chair twisted on the arm! I was like," TWO DEGREES OF SPIN, OMFG, WTF!!" Back to the test though. I'll admit there were some things on there that caught me for a bit, though I think I got them for the most part. We'll see how it ends up, I figured out that I needed around 180/210 to get like 85% in the class, so with curve that should end up being an A.

Today was Anthro, which I just got back from. Fun. There were a few questions that made me laugh at either the simplicity, or that they were on the practice, verbatim. The last one especially. People kept on sending emails out asking how to do it when it was a simple Hardy-Weinberg question. Not sure why people thought that was so hard... simple 1=p^2+2pq+q^2, where p is frequency of dominant allele and q is frequency of recessive allele. Remember to always mind your p's and q's. Quite possibly my favorite question on there though was about someone running for senator of Delaware in 1998 stating her ignorance of evolutionary theory. "If evolution were true, then why aren't monkeys evolving into humans?" That was her quote. It still shocks me how people holding offices of power in this country can be so ignorant, and proudly so, of high school science. Sadly, it's this ignorance that has made me less fond of a few people I know. Like they're smart, but they hold this veil to shield themselves from any evidence that contradicts their world view. Oh well. Perhaps sometime I convince them, but until then, I'm going to continue enjoying the truth.

Well, only have one more to go. Calculus. They vain of many people's existence. It's on Friday so I have time to prepare and study, I mostly just need to refrain from making stupid mistakes. Last test, the only questions I missed were due to me just over looking one little aspect of the question. As soon as I got the test back I did each question I missed in under 5 min. On one I forget to multiply an integral by y, and the other I did half of it right with the other half needing to be done in the same exact way.... How do you over look that? Clearly I was looking for that in the problem, but I didn't see it happening twice? RAGE!! Everything else, oh just dandy. Had to go and screw up those two with itsy bitsy over sights. Must not happen again.

Finally, I would like to inform people that I try not to do anymore stories on Drew. He has asked me not to because he finds it annoying. Some may say this is censorship, but I feel it's more about his rights and respecting him. But the previous ones will remain up because they have comedic value.
