Hell Week is Over!

Yes, hell week is over. The papers got done (eventually), the midterms got done, and now I prepare for the scavenger hunt! I missed out on quite a bit of sleep last week and will miss out on quite a bit this week but I think it will all be worth it in the end.

The midterms did not go as well as I would have liked. Calculus just beat me. I'm not sure there's any other way to say it. Last quarter I understood what was going on. First quarter I had a decent idea but couldn't put it into words. This quarter I knew nothing of what was going on but had the words to fake it. I'm not sure that I'm thankful that we've switched into linear algebra. I think I understand it more than the last part of calculus, but it's very different territory and I'm not really comfortable with it yet. Oh, well.

Physics midterm went decently, but I ran out of time. I find that to be the most frustrating thing about my midterms in the physics department. I can do all the problems, but I need about 10 minutes more than is allotted. This time I had to scratch in equations to pull off partial credit on the last 2 problems. Pretty frustrating.

But it's all good. Because Scav is coming! I don't know how much I will remember or how much I will actually participate, but I'm really excited.
