So, I sat in class today to take a fifty-minute test that was given through a 90-minute exam. I get stuck on the first problem and spend all of ten minutes trying to work it through only to leave it incomplete and not even finish the exam!
FIRST: I'm mad at the professor for thinking that he could squeeze nine problems on the exam, when half of the problems took HIM 30-minutes of class time to do---without explaining the steps---and he has a PhD.
SECOND: I don't know WHY all of the questions were equally weighted when clearly drawing a frickin' graph is not as challenging as solving for the curvature, tension vector, and acceleration components of a curve (ALL IN ONE QUESTION ONLY FOR 2 PTS!)
WHAT PART OF THE GAME IS THAT?!
In the end, had I studied, I would not have this problem to begin with. All I heard was "open-book"/"open-note" and I closed my mind to the idea that I really should have studied for this test. He drops the lowest test grade, and I'm going to make sure this one was it!
First my exam last week, then this exam this week...man am I slippin'...and with no good reason.
If I can wake my ass up to answer the phone for some guy who wants to freak me (albeit, I ALWAYS think it's an emergency and I have to get up, walk about seven steps to where my phone is charging, and then look at the caller ID before I have an idea of who it is) and clearly doesn't get that I am just too nice to tell him that I don't want to be bothered at 1:00 in the morning, then I sure as hell better wake my ass up to study for an exam.
Sometimes priorities get screwed up, but mine are out of sync completely. There's still 10 weeks left in this semester and I'm going to buckle down and get to it. Honestly, I've worked too long and made far too many academic mistakes to let me own laziness keep me from achieving success.
As sick and tired as I think I am, I have to be more sick and tired of letting myself down.
If I were not myself and I was coming between me and my work, I would get HURT...nevertheless, the IDiot is goin' down. lol
