Good news and bad news.
Aug. 24th, 2004 01:13 pmBad news first: Some of the test was easy. Some of it was hard. The parts I studied, in fact, which really irriates me.
Good news: Since each test is 50% of the grade, and I got an 88 on the last test, I only need a 32 on this test to pass that class (because 60-44=16 and 16x2=32). Shut up, Jenn. Anyway, there's no way I failed the class.
Better news: I almost certainly got a decent grade on the final anyway.
Best news: He said he's probably curving 10 points.
Final news: I never have to go near a math class again. Yay!
Hm.
I'm dead. Jenn's no doubt already plotting my death and destruction.

You might want to take a look at discrete math (sometimes called "computer math") at some point. It's much more interesting than the 'typical', IMO...
Please point and laugh at me if this *was* a discrete math course...

Besides, everything up to the last week was stuff I learned before high school.

"And now for something completely different...": The mention of Minesweeper reminded (re-mine-ded... ugh) me: the details you gave me from your laptop were sufficient for battery identification/acquisition (thanks! :) ). What *should* be the proper battery will be on its way to my mom's house sometime next week. Sorry for the lag.
