Twas the night after last

Er... creative title. Anyway.

There were no final exams today, I have one every day from Wednesday through Friday though, but they are all relatively easy so I'm not concerned. I added up my total scores throughout the semester to calculate the grades I need to get on those exams in order to get an A in the class and I figured that on Economics I needed an 86, which sounds okay but still, I tend to make very stupid mistakes on those questions. I need to really, thoroughly read the question instead of just thinking I understand it. If I can do that I should be fine. We are allowed a 3 x 5 card to take into the Final with us with whatever information we think we'll need. I scanned through my book and well, remembered almost everything. Just as a matter of necessity I wrote a few things down but they cover an area about the size of a postage stamp on my card. I'm sitting here trying to think of what else I should put on there.

In my Java programming class I was surprised, I only have to get a 62 on the final in order to maintain an A in the class. Those points for all the programs we did during the semester sure added up! I think I should be able to at least score that! Encourage by how all the "little points" had added up (though I did do fine on the exams as well), I decided to add up my Chemistry points and found out that I could miss up to 9 questions on the Final exam and score an A, so there is hope yet! This Chemistry class is something like an emotional rollercoaster. I think I do great on an exam, get the results back and they aren't very encouraging. I think I've done an assignment well and it turns out the person helping me must not have understood very well, which didn't help me too much I suppose. Then I think I might be able to get an A after the final, then I think I probably didn't, now I think that I may have a chance. Gosh! It's enough to drive one crazy! I must put it out of my mind. Stop thinking about it. Just let bygones be bygones and let the results come when they will. Still.... it would be nice......

Today I cleaned the Fifth wheel thoroughly in preparation for my family's arrival. The laws of entropy had certainly been at work. There was chemistry papers strewn on the couch, the desk, the table, by the sink.... boxes on the floor, a basket of clothes that I STILL hadn't folded since last week, Wal-mart bags on the floor where my groceries had been before I ate them, it looked like Katrina had taken a vacation here. Well perhaps I'm exaggerating but it was much, much messier than I liked. For some odd reason I had a kind of a feeling as though someone might show up at any minute, so I should try to get everything organized and cleaned. No one did show up of course but I still had that feeling.

Today's tech support job was fairly easy, there were hardly any out of office responses, but a few from irate customers who wanted to unsubscribe (and said so in not so nice terms) and one e-mail that simply said:

??

And I'm sitting there, staring at those two question marks trying to determine with my awesome psychic powers what the person intended to convey with those two enigmatic symbols. Nope, my powers must be broken or something because I can't figure it out. There must be pages of meaning behind those simple symbols though.

There were other people who responded to the "tip of the week" by merely sending it to me, hitting reply but not saying anything themselves (I checked thoroughly). It's as though in some strange way they thought they could get revenge on me by sending me my own e-mail and see how "I" liked it. HAH! Maybe that's just my imagination but it would be funny that actually happened.

Then I did a little flipping through my Chemistry study guide and taking a few random questions here and there and I was able to answer all of them easily so I feel prepared for it. I probably studied about 20 minutes for this exam. There's no new material and really, what we have learned has been fairly easy so what is there to study? Just my little postage-stamp sized bit of writing I guess.....

So that was today, pretty uneventful, pretty boring. I think I may now read a little until bed time, I borrowed a book from the church library called "The Puritan Hope" by Iain Murray that I am very anxious to read.
