Rain is Falling Perpendicular to-No, wait-Tang-No-Ahh, I Give Up

Probably one of the strangest titles ever. Well, I am attempting to study for Geometry. Nowhere near at painful as studying for Astronomy, but still not enjoyable. It's been raining on and off, so that's why rain is included in the title. Not much else, finals are very burned into my brain.

The Little Things In Life That Make Me Happy

Here are two of the little things in life that make me happy:

1. Panera Bread. I never seem to get sick of that place.

2. Finding out I totally rocked on an exam that I thought I failed.

I NEED to share the last one in more detail.

I was browsing Facebook and saw an FB chat window pop up. It was my algebra professor. Here's somewhat of how it went:

Prof: You should be VERY happy!

Me: Um... Why?

Prof: Exam 4=Awesome job!!!!!!!!!!

Me: No way.

Prof: I don't remember the exact grade, but it was between 94%-96%.

Me: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS???

Prof: Yep!

Me: WOW. I am happily shocked.

Yeah, I GOT AN A ON MY ALGEBRA EXAM!!! And remember, this was an exam I thought I BOMBED. I never feel well after an exam, but this case was extreme. I thought I failed the exam. Instead, I am one of only two students who got As on that test. Wow. Definite miracle right there. Definite happiness right there. YAY!!!

"Happy" Cinco de Mayo 2010

Wow, Cinco de May es hoy. It wasn't that fabulous of a day, but oh well.

One nice thing: I'M DONE WITH CLASSES FOR THE SEMESTER! Kind of happy, though I will actually miss this semester a little. Not tests, though.

My algebra exam was TERRIBLE. Seriously, I didn't do well. I ran out of time for one problem. For this problem, I TOTALLY BLANKED. Even more than the others. I got through a couple steps, then I was stuck. I didn't know what to do. Some questions I'm not very confident with how I did or I'll forget at first, but then it'll come back to me (both cases applied for almost the entire exam), but this one I could not figure out what to do. At all. I just wrote down some random crap and hoped I could get just 1/10 of a point for partial credit. The only other time this situation has ever happened was on my Basic Algebra final with a word final. And in both cases it's so frustrating, because I remember that we went over it in class but I COULDN'T REMEMBER FOR THE TEST. Argh. I'm so disappointed. I studied for this test, I did all the homework, I worked hard, and it was all for nothing. I feel so bad.

Also, I had a disappointing brownie, so sad. A happy note was seeing an acquaintance at the library-he has my algebra teacher, but for Calc II, we know each other from when we've stopped by our prof's office for help. It's kind of funny, actually.

Another bad thing about the test: I must have tensed up too much or something because my muscles are sore. My right arm hurts too, weird. I'm falling apart! But I'm young!

May the Forth Be With You

Yeah, nice play on words. Today is apparently Star Wars Day, too.

Stressed for my Algebra exam. I am so unbelievably doomed, I can't do this. No matter what I do, I can't get it!

Also, people are taunting me with what happened on Lost. I really need to get caught up with the rest of the world. And consider Tivo-ing the series finale.

Prayers, Stress, and Mild Mathematical Meltdowns....

Well.... I've been praying quite a bit for a couple friends having surgery. I've been stressed to no end about the Exam on Wednesday. And all this plus Geometry projects are causing me to have a mild mathematical meltdown....

Short post, I know I had more interesting things, but this is it.

Happy Wizarding World Independence Day 2010!

All right, the following "holiday" is only celebrated by nerds. Harry Potter nerds. Like me.

*IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SEVENTH HARRY POTTER BOOK, SKIP THE FOLLOWING SECTION*

May 2nd is the day that Harry defeated Voldemort in the seventh HP book. So nerds everywhere "celebrate" this day. I put a quote in my status: "Why spiders? Why couldn't it be 'Follow the butterflies'?!" There were so many, it was hard to pick.

The rest of the day was fine.

May Day=Math Day.

It felt sooooo good to sleep in, but I was sooooooo lazy in the morning. Then, once the afternoon hit-BAM. I studied like crazy. Piano for 15 minutes, then Geometry for the rest of the afternoon and Algebra almost all night. Crazy. My brain is so fried. I'm not feeling good about this exam on Wednesday. Grrr.
