I think I’ll try the next one and come back to this” This process will continue until I reach the last problem and realize I don’t, in fact, know how to do any of them, so will need to suck it up and start making up answers that look like they could get me some points. That is an accurate description of what happened on the midterm and I fully expect the final to be much worse. This class has been my least favorite (in my entire academic career)…extremely poorly organized, with no feedback on how I have been doing at all. The textbooks don’t cover the material either so studying is a challenge. Oh well, just counting down to monday.
Tonight I am going to dinner with Val (we both have December birthdays so are going out together to celebrate) and then we are going to watch white christmas (one of my favorite christmas movies!). Tomorrow night my parents and I are going to see amahl and the night visitors at my church, which I am looking forward to. Most of the rest of my weekend will be spent in the extremely futile effort of studying for my upcoming final. But after that I will be able to actually read things I enjoy for a change - back to brothers karamazov, most likely
