@>#%$@%€!!!!!

So... Got my midterm grades... It's not good...

I got a 92 on the programming midterm. Which is good. Except that the posting of the scores was accompanied by an email from the professor that pretty much implied that we did so well on the exam that he's going to grade our final projects much more strictly. @_@

And then there's stats... Which I'm sure you remember me complaining about last week. (Or at least I think I complained about it, I don't remember if I actually posted that or not.) Anyway here's how awful it was: 

Highest Grade: 89

Class Average: 37

And we're the "elite" program, the top students in the business school. -_-

I got a 55. 

What the fuck. <- There, that's how pissed I am. I'm actually swearing without censoring it. 

We spent the entire class today going over the answers to the exam. Every section of every problem had someone arguing with the professor about it.

I'd go into more detail about how awful it was, but I just want to put it behind me and forget about it. But before I do I will say this, probably redundantly as it's my biggest complaint: I have a math degree with a concentration in statistics, I should not be failing an introductory class because it's too hard. 

😡😰😱😡😤😖😡😨😱😰😱😤😤😤

I'm done now. Good night. 

Here's some more school news!

Programming midterm. Yay. @_@

More specifically: a handwritten exam for a class that's entirely computer based. Wth? 

Also: the start of a major exam is the perfect time to notice that you've let your fingernails get too long to hold a pencil properly. >.< As if I needed something else to make my hand hurt. @_@

Anyway... The exam was easier than I was expecting, but there were a couple "wait I was supposed to be able to write an essay on that concept?" questions.

>:(

Overall I think I did well. But now comes the waiting...

Speaking of waiting: I got an A- in my database class. 

Overall we're a little frustrated with that prof. He hit the grade deadline or something, and gave everyone the exact same grade on the research papers we did. @_@

Got my class schedule for next semester. It's going to be interesting. But right now the priority is passing this semester. Stats midterm on Monday. Yay. @_@

October 13th

Long time no see! Lol. In case you couldn't tell, I got tired of writing "I went to class and did homework". I also haven't eaten anywhere interesting lately. :/ And the Packers are still winning, even if Rodgers lost his no interception streak. ;)

But today is different. Kinda. 

Today was the final exam of my database management class. I finished about forty five minutes before time was up, then hung out in the lounge till everyone else finished. Con to finishing that much ahead of everyone: the professor already had my exam graded. Gah. 😨 I have to wait till Friday for my score like everyone else, but he said that I did good, so at least it's not going to be an awful wait. :/ Except that we also turned in our group research papers today. And McDonald has the rep of being the hardest professor on plagiarism. Not that I would plagiarize, but it's still stressful to think about. 

Signing off now. You'll next hear from me when I get my exam and paper grades. Probably. 

It's been a while... (9/25-29)

...but I'm too tired to even try to remember what's happened the past few days. 😴

Got a B on my midterm. Better than I thought I did, though I did make a couple rather stupid mistakes. @_@

And the Packers won yesterday!

Other than that it's pretty much been nothing but homework and class and the occasional tv show when I just can't focus anymore. Maybe the mayhem will die down in two weeks once my database class ends. But probably not. >.< Plus it's just going to be chaos until then, so there's really no point in thinking that far ahead. 😔

Good night. Maybe I'll be in a better mood for writing tomorrow. 

September 23-24

Again. @_@ The app just crashed and erased my almost finished draft. @_@ It's especially annoying since today's barely worth writing about to begin with. @_@

Yesterday I did homework. Today I did homework and went to class. I had fun hanging out with my classmates. 

My right hand and wrist have been bothering me for the last two days. I'm hoping it's just strained from the midterm on Tuesday, since I haven't done much writing like that since I broke it. But still when it hurts to use the mouse and all the homework is on the computer, I have to wonder if I might just be making it worse...

That's it. End of chapter. Goodnight.  

September 22

So today I studied for my midterm. And by "studied" I of course mean: I cleaned my room, watched anime, and updated my phone to iOS 9 (and the subsequent playing around with it). 

Clearly I did well on the staying focused front. @_@

The midterm went so-so. Or rather it went as well as it could have when I didn't know the answer to the first question. @_@

Four and a half hour class, two and a half hour midterm, and a short break, that meant we had an hour and a half more of class. Of course a lot of that got wasted because of technical difficulties, but still. I have no clue whether or not I actually retained any of that new information. :/

That's the thing I wanted to write about:

Before he passed out the test, McDonald had us put our cell phones on our desks, then he came around and made sure they were turned off, and we had to leave them in plain sight until we finished the test. That was different. 

Unless you want me to go into detail about the new iOS, I have nothing more to say. But honestly in terms of how I use my phone it's not all that different from iOS 8.whatever. The new version of notes looks like it'll be cool. The updated look for closing apps is going to take some getting used to- everything is on the left instead of the right. And they didn't fix the thing I was hoping they'd fix (but then, when does that ever actually happen?). So the default music app is still stuck in the crappy mode iOS 8.something put it in. Anyone use a third party music app that works with iTunes playlists? (Cuz the couple I've tried so far don't. :/ )

September 21

I'm not sure that anything today is worth writing about. I did homework and went to class. The food at dinner wasn't anything special, and there aren't any anecdotes about my classmates to share. 

Tomorrow I get to do some last minute studying for my database midterm. That'll be interesting. Last time I tried to study (aka yesterday), I ended up watching anime and doing my nails. Ironically in one of those episodes my favorite character is supposed to be studying for a test but ends up doing her nails instead. 

And that's it. Goodnight.
