Bad 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.

Date: 2004-08-24 01:04 pm (UTC)Do not fear the math, though. It is an interesting paradox that the traditional math sequence forces everyone to slog through the ick before getting to the yay.
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.
