A quick update
May. 24th, 2006 10:47 pmThis will be a short update, but I at least wanted to come in and write.
The past few days have been fine enough. I ended up taking my exam on Monday for Indian Philosophy, and found out today that I got an 86 on the exam and an A- in the course. I'm really happy about that! Yesterday I met with my reader and reviewed for the exam I took today, and that went well also.
I took the exam today, and after seven or so hours, was finally done. There were a few things I know I messed up on, and one thing I actually just realized I had done syntax-wise, which is minor, but it'll probably cost me most likely a few points. I looked over all of my code at the end, but I guess the particular thing I just realized I did didn't occur to me until now. Of course, leave it to after I hand it in to realize things. I'm slightly--well, ok, more than slightly--mad at myself for that. Ah well, as long as I end up passing the class, I really won't complain. I'd love a B, but I don't know how hopeful I should be for that. I guess I'll take a C no questions asked, even though I think I should get a B--I'm not one to argue for grades and such like that. As long as I pass... It's just frustrating, because I know how to do what I'm asked, the details sometimes tend to trip me up. This particular professor is heavily detail-oriented, which is a good thing--don't get me wrong--but his being so can hurt me as well.
After the exam, I met a few friends outside, and came back to my room, whereupon I fed Liv and then fed myself as I hadn't eaten practically all day. I've just been hanging out here, talking to various people online and whatnot. I think I'll end this here, though, I really am rather exhausted from such a long exam, and think I just want to go lay down and relax. I had to put my comforter for my bed in the laundry because I think something spilled on it, so I have to remember to go down and get that from the dryer at some point. I never did mention it, but the basement of this dorm really is rather scary for one reason or another.
Tomorrow I have to study for my Philosophy exam that I have on Friday, and I think my mom and I are going out to lunch at some point, too. I also should start to pack, I can't forget that. I have a lot of crap to pack, and I haven't even started. Well, okay, it isn't really a lot, but I just have to figure out how I'm going to pack all of it up so that I can find things easier. Yay for having to pack just to have to pack again three or so days later, it's great! With that, I think I'm out. Besides, I'm on the phone, and so should probably contribute to the conversation :). Actually, the conversation is slightly lacking at the moment, but that's ok, people don't have to talk all the time. Too many people underestimate the value of silence. Nevertheless, I should still probably contribute anyway. I hope you all are doing well with finals and whatnot, or if you're done with school, I hope life is treating you well. More soon, or when I can.
