Well, so much for acing a test. I am hoping I passed. Perhaps not that bad, but it was not a slapshot. I did one of the problems when I arrived home, and found that I had made a math error. I found, while speaking with others after the test, that one answer I produced was incorrect. I am hoping I did the easier problems correctly. I just do not have a sense for the truth of that though. I will just have to dig in, with what I have left, and keep on studying. I am still quite tired, lately, but I do not think that played a large part, as it did on the quiz. At least he (our professor) does not take 2 or 3 weeks to grade our tests. I will know how dismal it was Monday most likely.
I had been planning on a visit to my mother’s home after this test. After looking at my finances, I realized I could not go. I keep promising, and putting it off. I am almost certain she will give me a hug and a peck on the cheek, when she sees me next. And then, immediately set me about building scaffolding for my hanging. I would like to say I would help her, but like I said, I will be!
I had thought to take a lesser physics, an intermediate physics to be more precise, this next term. But I really just am too tired. As well, the expense is a real drain with no promise of recuperation via work. I should invest in a set of cross country skis for traveling back country in the snow and then set about taking lessons and practicing. Yes, that means I am hoping for snow. It might not make me very popular, but nobody actually knows me or could connect me with this blog. So, I am safe with my hopes. Besides, as honest and open as I am, I am quite sure these folks around here hate me for other reasons. However, this is not a bad thing. I hope many people in this world do not like me. From some people, this is a compliment. I hope the president sees it that way too, though, I really would not wish to be lumped with him, exactly, either. He is a decent president though, and the people who hate him, would actually really hate me. I think the lad is a little soft in the wrist, politically speaking, for my tastes.
Not much else here. I’m up late, was going to go to bed but I became very hungry of a sudden. So, I popped some potatoes in the oven and am planning on having a thick cut New York Strip. A glass of milk, whole, some sour cream (full fat, as much as I can get), and a nice quiet place will top off the meal most pleasantly. Oh, I had thought about a beer fest to mollify my disappointment, but I just, in the end, did not feel like it. At least I do not feel crushed.
Try to keep those stress levels to a minimum. I test best when I'm least worried.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Hope the test results are better than you expect.
ReplyDeleteum...did you mention in a previous post something about moving? To the mountains? Or, am I being blonder than usual? :)
Rest well, friend. Hope your weekend goes well.
Yes, I too test better when rested, fed but not full (or tired from getting too full), and after having studied the material well. I had studied my eyes out. Actually, I may have studied too much (and a bit of the wrong things, going over material I pretty well new equally with material that was difficult). I need to study some simple algebra, again. That topic of algebra pertaining to solving systems of equations and unknowns is a major weakness, and not a good one of an engineering hopeful. Those beat me up. Ack, the simple math is also doing me in! hehe As for other stressors, one can only control a bit of outside factors. One never knows when an accident, robbery, or other thing will plague the mind.
ReplyDeleteJean,
Yes, a move to the mountains is imminent, or at least a certainty. With someone getting into my house and my computer, regardless of my precautions and expenses, and criminals and crime all around me, yeah, I think I am done with this place for now. College towns aren't fun.
I am looking, currently, at what cities in the Colorado and Utah mountainous areas have Catholic Churches. I may also check Wyoming out. I probably won't join A church, but I would like to be on a first name basis with some of the folks, clergy, and nuns in the area I plan to move. I will also start checking into rent. It would be nice to have a solid base of operations. Initially, it's a must.
