Mar. 7th, 2009 03:13 pmI am officially done with my paper! I'm not totally satisfied with it, but I got really tired of thinking about it and working with it. It ended up a lot shorter than I expected, but it's within the range he gave us (although on the low side). Hopefully it'll be ok. I'm kind of just hoping on a B on this. It's only 5% of our grade, at least. Of course, the entire research proposal project is like 35% of our grade, so if there's something fundamentally wrong with the proposal or my idea or whatever, it's going to affect a lot more than that. Oh well.
Yesterday was not the best day. The test didn't go as well as I hoped, especially based on how much I studied. I did really well on some sections, I'm sure, but on others... blah. Probably not so well. I'm expecting a B/B+ at this point, but she does like me, so maybe it'll be an A-? It's all right, though, I'll do better on the next one. This chapter was just kind of weird.
After that, well first I went to Multivariate Stats which ended up getting cut incredibly short because she planned for us to just work on our labs for most of the hour, but it turned out the data set she wanted us to use for the lab wouldn't work, so... that was it. Which was nice because it gave me more time for the paper, but of course having to work on the paper made the afternoon worse. I actually thought I would be done fairly early (like by 6-ish), but I didn't actually submit it until around 8:30ish. But at least it's done now! Now I just get to worry about how harshly it'll be graded.
After I finished the paper last night I had a horrible headache and I was out of Advil and the campus store was closed and it was the kind of headache that makes you feel kind of nauseous and awful so I really didn't want to walk to the nearest drugstore/grocery store to get anything. So I just laid in bed and started to read Watchmen again for the first time since January. I felt like I forgot what was going on, so I started from the beginning (I was only like 2 1/2 chapters in as it was, so it wasn't like I was rereading that much). I got through chapter 3 last night before I felt too exhausted to keep going. I'm liking it a lot more this time. I don't even know if liking it is the right term because it wasn't that I didn't like it before, but I just wasn't invested in it. Or something. I don't know. I'm just a lot more interested in what's going on this time. So yeah, I think I'm going to try to finish it before I watch the movie.
Spring break is less than a week away! I am so excited. I really need a break right about now.
