Part of me wants to watch Castle when it premieres because NATHAN FILLION, but the previews make it look so, so bad. Has anyone heard anything, good or bad, about it? I'm tempted to check it out, but I'm afraid once I check it out I'll be forced to keep watching just for Nathan Fillion even if it sucks.

My test yesterday in Research in Psych went pretty well, I think. I'm glad I didn't study any more than I did because it wouldn't have helped. It kind of just depends on how harsh he wants to grade the short answer. I think I did decently. Definitely well enough for a B, although of course I'd like better.

I talked to my RIP professor today about the research proposal and my idea looks like it should work, which was good, but apparently the proposal is supposed to be 5-10 pages (although he said 5 is the absolute minimum and people tend to do better if it's more), and I don't know if I've allowed myself enough time to write this in addition to studying for the stats and German tests next week and finishing my stats data set. ugh. At least he said he's go over the finished draft with me on Tuesday or so, so that'll help make me less nervous about my grade. But that also means I have less time to finish it. Can it just be the week before spring break already? I have absolutely nothing to do that week! It'll be awesome.

I had the most ridiculous quiz in German on Wednesday that I'm going to get back today and am not looking forward to. We never have quizzes, and the only reason we had this one was she said that some people did really badly on the adjectives section of the test we had last Friday, so she was going to quiz us. But I got full credit on the adjectives section on the test, so I was a bit irritated that I had to take the quiz. And the quiz was ridiculous. It was taken from an exercise from a textbook that is definitely harder than our level. I mean, I understand the adjectives, but this was just... unfair. Like, for example, there are 4 cases in German (meaning, if you've never had German, the article in front of a noun changes based on if it's the subject, direct object, indirect object, or something else that I don't know yet) and we've learned 3, and the case (in addition to the gender of the noun and the article) affects the ending of the adjective. And on this quiz, there were all 4 cases. How is it fair of her to expect us to be able to know the adjective ending for that when we don't even know how to recognize what case it is? Seriously. And I didn't know the gender of a lot of the nouns (and German has three genders rather than 2 like French, so you don't have a great chance of guessing), and I had never seen a lot of them, but she was just like "You should know that word" and wouldn't tell us the gender. ugh. I guessed on over half of them. I hope everyone fails and she's reasonable and gives us an easier quiz or something. Because I do know the adjective endings, but not when there's a case I don't know and the sentence structure of the paragraph is far above our level so I have no idea what it's saying.
