brokenrecordWell, February's over, and I've manage to watch 17 movies (I have no idea how I managed to watch more than in January. I didn't feel like I was watching that many movies, either), 91 episodes of TV (not nearly as many as January, but still kind of impressive to me considering a lot of stuff hasn't had new episodes, or at least not all month, and I didn't go out of my way to watch anything like 7 seasons of Scrubs like I did in January), and 0 books (oh man am I failing at reading more. I managed to get 2 1/2 chapters of one book in! ...but I haven't finished anything. Or read anything else. ugh. Maybe I'll start reading more when I get over my movie-watching phase).
Anyways, today was kind of horrible. I had my test in Multivariate Stats, and it was terrible. It wasn't just me, though, thankfully. We were supposed to be done by 3:20, but at 3:40 nearly all the class was still working on it. And then we had to turn them in, and I didn't even have an answer for the last part of the last question, and for the rest of the questions my answers were just like half-answers. And I realized I screwed up for pretty much the entire last 3 questions, but I had no time to fix them, so I just wrote a note explaining what I would have done if I had more time. =/ And the problem is that the first part I'm not even sure about, either. I spent too much time on it, but I wasn't totally sure of my answers, so I just put down some stuff and was like "Well, I'll come back to it later." Except, of course, I couldn't. The professor said she'd grade on a curve, but I'm just afraid that one or two people will have done really well. I don't know, I feel like I would have done really well if it was a take-home test, but I make too many mistakes when I'm just going through that stuff the first time, and I really need more time to think about everything. ugh.
Afterwards Li and I met with the professor to go over our data set for the research project, and apparently the data we have won't work. I seriously felt like crying when she started explaining to us that we'd have to find another data set. I have enough this week as it is; I really don't have time to add finding another data set to it. And I feel like there aren't going to be any data sets that will work that deal with out topic. And what kind of irritates me the most is that I was concerned with the data set originally, so I went to talk to her, and she told me how I had it set up would work. I don't know why she didn't bring up these issues then. But I feel like we're going to look for a data set and find nothing and have to change our topic, which means doing another research proposal, and finding more articles (and it took forever to find what we did), and I really don't have time to do that this week. The data set is due Friday. I was planning on finishing my research paper for RIP by tomorrow night, going over it with the professor Wednesday morning/afternoon, revising the paper Wednesday night while studying for my Differential Equations quiz (because I really need to get perfect scores on basically every quiz we have from now on), turn the paper in Thursday, and then study for my German test Thursday night. There really isn't any time to add finding a new data set and reworking our entire research project in the next few days.
Ugh, I was stressed out enough as it was before all this, but now it's just made everything worse. I really can't wait until Spring Break. Actually, I can't wait until this semester is over. I like the subjects for the most part, but all the classwork is insanely stressful and time-consuming.
