When that alarm went off this morning at 5 o’clock, you had better believe I didn’t want to go work for 6 hours, and then roll straight into two midterms this afternoon. So I didn’t. I called off of work and slept until 11. I got up, took a shower, made a hot cuppa tea, and feeling well-rested and moderately refreshed, got down to last-minute cramming for Math 152. Not that I didn’t study all weekend etc., but there were definitely some things I had to clear up before being thrown into the lion’s den. I’m not gonna lie, at no point did I ever feel good about taking this math test, but not going to work and studying this morning certainly made me feel better.

For nothing! I walked out of that test feeling like I had just ran a marathon and placed dead last. My heart was seriously pounding. 48 minutes is a ridiculously short amount of time to tackle those 6 oh-so-impossible problems. I think the best I could have possibly done on that wicked, wicked exam was about a 75% if I’m lucky.

But alas, the day was still not over. I went into anthro trying to shake the haunting images of integrals and y to the e-th powers floating around in my head. Being fairly confident in my anthro knowledge, seeing as it is my major, I wasn’t too worried. There might have been a few things that I didn’t memorize exactly, but I knew that I had the general grasp of 99% of the material.

Wrong again. Granted, I didn’t bomb it nearly as bad as the math test. Ok, I didn’t bomb it all. But I know I didn’t get a 100%, or a 94%, or even probably an A, which is disappointing. Sigh. At least it’s early in the quarter, and now I know what to expect. And at least I don’t have any math homework due for one whole week! Yay!

So tomorrow it’s back to work and back to the grind and trying just to eek it out until the weekend. I’m super glad that’s two less exams I have to take this quarter/ in my life ever…

The best news is that it’s already week four. Time flies when you’re having fun/ really busy!
