Dec. 8th, 2008 12:02 pmTwo finals down! The German final went well. I screwed up more on the listening than I usually do (I'm kind of really good at German listening which is weird because I was always crap at French listening. Although that might have been because we only ever did listening on the tests and never had any practice), but the rest was very easy. The Research in Psych conceptual final didn't go quite as well. Like, it wasn't terrible, but I would have liked to do better. Really, I feel like I did well on basically every section except one, but that section I feel like I got maybe half right on, so that's kind of bringing my opinion down of the whole test, even though if I do get half right on that section, I'll have a 93 on the test. So maybe I shouldn't complain.
I also turned in my RIP SPSS final, so that's done with. Um, provided I pass. (It doesn't actually count towards my grade, but if I don't get an 80 or higher, I have to redo it, which... no. Do not want.) I'm almost done with the take-home computational final, although I need to look one of the questions over more, because I'm not 100% sure of the method I used and the answer turned out kind of weird.
I have my German oral final today in an hour and a half. I'm kind of nervous about it, but there's nothing much I can do to prepare. The problem is that I have trouble enough speaking aloud in English, let alone in German, (I tend to stutter and pause and say the wrong word in English when I'm nervous) and that it's being conducted by Markus, the lab instructor, whom I already don't understand 95% of the time anyways because he talks really fast and uses words we haven't learned yet. But whatever, like I said, I can't really do anything to prepare for it at this point. Hopefully I'll get through it and it'll go better than I expect.
It snowed pretty steadily all day yesterday. I've been very bitter at the weather because my attitude is that if it's going to be cold, it better snow, and also I better be able to actually see it snow. But every time it's snowed, either it hasn't stuck or it's snowed overnight and I've missed it entirely, which is very sad. But yeah, it was awesome yesterday (of course now the ground is really slushy and the bottom of my pants and, subsequently, my socks, got all wet). I'm happy that I'm not sick of snow, even if I do prefer California winters.
I had to wake up at 7 because my final was at 8 this morning, and oh god, how did I wake up at 6:15 four days a week (and 7:15 on Thursdays) in high school? It's just cruel. And what the hell possessed me to take a class TR at 8 next semester? I am going to die. Well, I will if I can't switch my MWF class from the 9:40 one to the 2:20 or whatever one I want to take. That would help a lot.
Anyways, after the German oral final, I have to go over my computational RIP final (as I already mentioned), and then start preparing for my multivariable calc final. The calc final isn't until Wednesday at 10:30, though, so there's a good chance I'll blow off studying for it until tomorrow. Whatever, I have a 95 in the class, and it only counts for 1/4 of our grade if it'll bring our grade down (it counts for 1/2 if it'll bring our grade up) and, I mean, I've understood basically everything we've done in the class so far. I just have to review the stuff we did earlier in the semester that I've forgotten. But it should be fine. I'm not too worried about it. I'll probably end up packing and preparing to leave instead.
