Yesterday I had my first physics exam. I thought it went pretty well, though I did need almost all the time allotted, which made me really nervous. I couldn't check my work either. Had lecture right after then lab. After that I came home and went icon surfing. ^_^ Found a lot of good ones. Yesterday night I had my cousin’s graduation to go to, and let me tell you that brought back memories! Only theirs was outside. And it kept threatening to rain or lightning. GAH! Luckily made it through the ceremony okay, only it was really hot and we were on concrete bleachers, so by the end I was really tired (heat makes me wilt like crazy). Afterwards we went back to my aunt and uncles house for dessert, which was good.
The one problem I had was my cousin didn’t come back until a lot later (she had to turn in her robe and get her diploma) until just about when Mom and I had to leave. I really wanted to give her a few words of advice, but I had to give it in front of everyone. Which was bad because people basically blew it off. Which really ticks me off. I hate it when I’m being serious and people take it as a joke. Luckily my mom caught both of my cousins in the kitchen right before we left. I think we scared them. Well GOOD! I’d rather they be safe than sorry. The graduating one is going down to the beach for a week with a group of friends at school. And I want her to be careful! I’m really close to both of those two, they’re more like my sisters than my cousins. Maybe I’m a spoilsport, but I don’t want them to get into a situation that they can’t control.
So, went to class today and we got our quizzes back. I got a 72. A SEVENTY-TWO. And it was ALL stupid mathematical errors that I probably would have caught if I had more time. GAH. I am VERY upset about this. That’s my second lowest grade in my college career. We have another test next Thursday. I’m going to study (again. I studied last time) and try to get more rest before hand. And find out exactly when we have to turn in so I can time budget it better. On the plus side I was really tired today; it made me have a “oh well, I’ll survive until next time then,” attitude instead of breaking down in class (which is what I usually do).
And to top it all off, I get to go to a family reunion this weekend in central Pennsylvania. The introvert gets to meet twenty billion people she’s vaguely related to that she’s never met before. Fun, fun, fun. I’m hiding in my room with my textbooks as much as possible.
