Chi 11:25 AM
Thank -- GAWD.
I finished up my English presentation early by volunteering to go first. This morning I'd sent Miss J thousands of frantic emails, freaking out about how I was gonna get this stupid make-up test done. I offered to take it home and promise not to use notes, or to accept the grade if it didn't take me to a C and all that jazz.
So I went in before English and asked what to do. (Chi is too impatient to wait for a response.) She said I should finish a final early and come in, or have mom drop me off early. I'm freaking out here. So I go to English and ask if I can go take the test after my presentation. She says that's fine and I go sit down.
Julianne is just WAY too sweet. A little unsure of myself, I asked her for help. She pulled up every assignment, Shifts on X and Y, changes in Magnitude, and Putting it all Together and rewalked me through everything. I think it really made all the difference in how that test would have turned out. Thanks Jules, you're an AWESOME FRIEND!!!!
I went and took the test and I'm really not sure how I did. I know for certain that I shifted my graphs right, and I know a good majority of my Domain, Range, and Asymptotes are right. I think my biggest concern is Magnitude. But really, I think I did some magnitudes right, and it really shouldn't take the grade down that bad.
Either way the test turns out, anything's better than an NHI. I'm expecting low B maybe high C on this test. No matter what happens, I sincerely doubt it will take my 84 down to a C. This is good. I studied hard for this test, gave it my all,too my time and did all I could do. So I'm pretty proud of myself for getting this out of the way, no matter how the test turns out. One less thing to stress about.
I think my only remaining stress now is Chem. And as I've said before, nothing really to stress over. I've been studying really hard, I have a really GOOD gut feeling about the test which is a good sign, and no grade I get on this test could possibly take my 88 down to a C. Though I am expecting to get a good grade on this thing, I'm sure mom is a lot more forgiving with Chem than math. Really, math is a lifetime skill; to screw up in math is not a good idea. But Chem? Come on. Dr. Frank couldn't even tell us the other day when he thinks we'll use Stoichiometry. Heaven forbid I don't ace this final. Though hopefully I'll come close. Even a B or a high C on this test will make me happy.
Stupid finals. I really am better than B's and C's. But finals can make any Harvard student look stupid if you ask me. It's a stressful and nerve-wracking three days; that's a lot of pressure. I just want Chem to come out fine.
All in all, I doubt I'm going to end this year with any C's which is good. (In fact I've already ended 2/3's of my classes with A's.) So I'm just waiting for Chem to end and my math test to be graded.
Summer cannot come friggen soon enough.
