Last week I was on a Hell ride.
In addition to working 36 hours (did I mention I’m suppossed to be part-time?), I had two take home exams due and an in-class exam. For those counting, that’s an exam for all three of my classes. In all three cases, I thought before doing them that I had the material down. Then I got my first take-home (for my cardiovascular physiology class,) and whoa-boy, did I realize how much of a clue I did not have. That shit was hard.
Then I got my biomechanics exam, and figured I would kick the shit out of it…wrong again. The questions were nothing like what I had expected. Luckily, the only saving grace with those two was that they were take home exams. But, being that I had a harsh work schedule, I didn’t get around to finish either one until, yup, the night before they were due.
I was up till 2 AM Tuesday night (and never had a chance to study or make a crib sheet for my in-class exam in biostatistics,) and was up until 5 AM Wednesday night, then took a three hour nap, and worked on it some more until class started at 10:30, and I was actually 15 minute late because of finishing it up. Good God, I just knew I did very poorly on both of those. As for the in-class exam, well, I used the two hours between my Wednesday morning and afternoon class (that had the exam,) to study anbd make a crib sheet. Besides, biostatistics is easy, I knew everything, I just needed the sheet for a few equations, since several are similar.
Then I got into class and went :eek: :dubious: :mad: at a few of the questions. I wrote down pretty much what I figured was a lot of BS and left hoping I could pull off a B at best, whislt rubbing my sore ass from the serious rapage that did occur. I mean, seriously, three exam-rapes in a forty-eight hour period? That’s just not fair.
Then today, I got back both my biomechanics and biostatistics exams and prepared myself when I looked at those little numbers in the upper-right corner (and why is it always in the upper-right corner? What’s the deal with that?)
98 in biomechanics, 100 in biostatistics. Da-yum, ass rapage avoided in two out of the three classes. Hell, not just avoided, I fucking made those exams my bitches. They came at me and I just smacked them down and showed them the right way to try and fuck something. They regretted they day they tried that shit on me.
However, I still have no idea how I did on the cardiovascular physiology test, but even after today’s victories, I am still a little worried that I just fucked up royaly. The worst part is that I was going to take the easier physiology class this semester, but the prof. for obth of them urged me to take the harder, ‘more quantitative’ one, because being an engineer and all, I would like it a lot more. Yeah…but I’m a biomed engineer. I went this path because it has less quantitative shit.
Oh well, I’m going to enjoy these two small victories for as long as I can, so kudos to me and all that jazz.
