And I got a "B" in Physics! I'm so happy!! Woot!!! (And many thanks to my beloved for homework, quiz, and study help.)
Well, from Physics, at least. One Japanese final exam to go, but that's not until next week Monday.
I think the physics final went fairly well. It consisted of 45 multiple choice and 5 written problems. I don't believe that I got the 90% required to pull off that "A" but I think I at least did well enough to keep the "B." Good enough, I say...
Now, as for the list of things I want to do for my summer off:
- relearn (again-again) website coding and design
- continue learning Japanese
- clean the house (maybe this one should be number one on the list)
- organize the house (err... number two...)
- sew new costumes for DragonCon (probably not gonna happen...)
- at least sew something!
- waste a ton of time playing The Sims (I am fairly certain that this will happen)
- get out with the telescope at least once a week and spend some time stargazing with or without the telescope
- take more photos of things other than sleeping cats
- write... something... fiction-esque
- finish a book! (Two currently on hold: American Gods and a Dorothy Parker biography.)
Well, at least I'm ambitious. Let's see what actually happens!
So, my adventures in math and science aren't over yet, but the first installment is finally coming to an end. The spring semester is over and my physics final is Tuesday. Whew! And, after all of the pain and whining and hair pulling, how will it turn out?
Well, as it turns out, I'm not actually doing nearly as poorly as I thought. Yes, my test scores were pretty abysmal, but fortunately my homework, labs, and our multiplicity of quizzes were quite high, so I'm actually at a pretty comfortable "B" right now. I can't even express how happy that makes me. As an English major, this higher math stuff really makes me feel dumb, so even a "B" feels like a real accomplishment for me. My hope is that I can solidly nail the final and actually get an "A," just for the hell of it, but it seems that I have a pretty high test anxiety for physics, so the likelihood is... slim. But a "B" is damn fine, as far as I'm concerned!
Next I'll be moving on to my astronomy classes, which I'm looking forward to. If I survived physics, I know that I can make it through the rest! Though, as a counterpoint, my ego would like to mention that I actually got a 100% "A" in my senior level Technical Documentation III class. Go me... I'm not a Physics major for a reason, you see...
