Rough, rough week.

Title about sums it up. Exams finished and got my grades back... and let me tell you. I was right to worry about Physics and Calc being much harder than my Engineering one...

Let's start with Math. As always, I get the subject material, but something about the exams just puts my mind through a loop. There was not NEARLY enough time for me to finish the test, but I was pretty confident on the parts I did finish. Apparently not. C. Which... I suppose is passing, and it will get me into any major's restrictions fine. It's just... disappointing.

And then there's Physics. Sweet god... physics. See, I thought I did decent on this exam. I thought I pulled a C, maybe a B. Sure, the test started tough, but about 1/3 in, it picked up and I went through all the problems with confidence of how to do them.

I got a 30%.

30.

Let me repeat the number for MY benefit. 30.

Now, I studied. I spent a bunch of time reading through the book, writing my notecard, going to review sessions and my study group... I did a lot of problems, and they made sense. However, something in that test... I just failed apparently. And now... I'm going to have to put night after night after night of solid work for the next 5 weeks until my exam. I NEED to 100% my next exam, or this class will not go well. And the thing is... other than doing more practice problems, I don't know how to study differently. It's just... ugh. I have NO idea what went wrong. But.. this won't happen again. I'll make sure of that.


Enough of the bad news. Good news! In two weeks on Michigan's Spring Break I'll be heading to DC on a base visit. It's gonna be awesome. We're gonna go tourist around a bit see some museums... maybe go to the Pentagon. It's gonna be fun.

So... that's all! Other than those abhorrent tests, things have been going well. I'm REALLY tired right now. I just had swimming class, and we did a lot of endurance, holding our breath... etc. I will sleep good tonight.
