Dec. 1st, 2009 09:51 amSo, November's over! In November I read 0 books, watched 3 movies, and 110 episodes of TV. I'm currently at 65 movies, so my revised goal (since I really doubt I'll be getting to 100, especially since finals aren't over until the 19th) is 75 movies for this year. This will be pretty tough to do, actually, but I'll try. I'm currently at 1745 episodes of TV, and my goal is 2000. I think I should be able to do it. I'll probably start marathoning stuff once school gets out and once I'm home for winter break I'll go back to watching Buffy and Angel with my parents on the weekend. Plus, I'm sure I'll get DVDs of TV shows for Christmas. It doesn't really matter either way if I reach these goals or not, I just... enjoy having frivolous goals in my life that don't cause me stress if I don't reach them.
I bought my parents' Christmas presents this past weekend! I never figure out what to get them this early, so this is kind of awesome. I'm getting my dad season 2 of Dexter because everytime I'm home he's like "So why don't you have season 2 of Dexter?" because he really loved the show after I showed him season 1 over the summer. And it's unlikely that he'll buy it for myself or himself. For my mom, I bought her The Hunger Games (since I think she'd really like it) and a Neal Stephenson book she said she wanted but doesn't have.
I think I've completely given up on Discrete Math. Last night I was working on a draft of a project for the class and was so stressed out because I had absolutely no idea what to do or how to explain anything because I didn't understand it and I didn't care, and I pretty much just wrote some BS which he'll give back to me and will say "You basically need to explain everything. And maybe actually prove some of the claims you make" and then I'll still have no idea how to do it and I won't revise much of anything and I'll fail the project. BUT THEN I ONLY NEED LESS THAN A 50 ON EVERYTHING HERE ON OUT TO PASS THE COURSE. So this is my state of mind right now and why I gave up around 8 PM even though I have until 5 PM today to finish it. I just hate this class so much. I few weeks ago I was kind of going "...I don't know if I should have changed my grading option because I'm getting an A and I'm pretty much putting the same effort in as I would if I wasn't taking it pass/fail."
Although I did end up getting a 74 on the midterm we took last Tuesday that I thought went horribly. Which, I mean, not that a 74 is spectacular, but considering there were only 2 grades above an 80 (and only 4 between 60 to 79), and how terribly I thought I had done, I'm pretty happy with that. And he changed it so we can earn up to 2/3 of the points back on the test rather than 1/2 since everyone did so badly, so I can revise my grade up to a 91. I'm really, really happy I didn't bother studying for this test.
( Dexter )I adore this show so much, seriously. If you don't watch it, you're totally missing out.
