I had a surprise midterm on Thursday in Differential Equations. Ok, not really surprise, but before Spring Break the professor was like "We'll have a midterm after the break, but you don't have to worry about it now" and then in class on Tuesday he was like "We're going to have the midterm on Thursday!" and all of us expected it to be the next week and not just two days later. But I think it went all right. I knew everything on it, I was just a little unsure about a few things. But I think I should do fine on it.

We finally got that test I had in Multivariate Stats nearly a month ago back and I really, really expected to get a B at best. And I actually did get an 85/100 for the raw score, but then she curved it to a 75 or something, and so I ended up with a 113%. And I then found out that that was the highest grade in the class on the test. I have no idea how that happened. I swear, most of the time, I feel like I have absolutely no idea what's going on in the class, and I really don't think I understand it any better than most other people. She came up to me when we were supposed to be working on our labs and she told me that she thought I did really well on the test and that she loves my writing and to keep up the good work and all that. This class has been causing me a lot of stress, and earlier this week I was totally like "Whatever, I'm going to get a B in this class, and I'm fine with that" and right now, with this test, I'm probably doing better in this class than any other.


My lowest grade right now is actually in German, which is so bizarre, because I feel like that's my easiest class. Except... it's obviously not since I'm doing better in other classes. It's really only because I'm getting a B in the lab, which is ridiculous since we don't DO anything in the labs. I have no idea what he's basing it on. One of my friends who probably is the best at German in our class, or at least one of the best, is getting a C+/B- in the lab, and there's no way she deserves that. I think I'm going to ask the lab instructor what I can do to improve my grade, because I really don't know what to do. We had a test today in German that I probably didn't do too well on either, which probably won't help. Hopefully everyone else in the class won't do very well either and she'll curve it slightly.

We also finally got our tests back in RIP and I got a 97. That was much more expected than my Multivariate Stats grade, but I still feel very proud of that. I really enjoy this class for some reason, which I didn't expect. I'm still nervous about getting my paper back in that class, though.


I've been doing pretty much nothing (other than studying/schoolwork) this week except for watching Bones. I'm halfway through season 4 right now, so I should be done by this weekend. Which is good, since I've been neglecting both schoolwork some and a lot of TV. I still have stuff from last week to catch up on. Which I will do eventually. I really want to catch out Kings, too, which I'll probably get to right after I finish Bones. Anyway, I'll write up a longer post on my reactions once I've finished season 4.
