Sep. 27th, 2008 10:53 amSo I've kind of been failing at life this week.
I had a German test Wednesday that I spent the first half of the week studying for, and I think that went really well. But then I had a Developmental Psych test on Friday and I really only studied for it for like half of Thursday, and I didn't feel fully prepared going in. And... I don't know how the test went. It could go either way, depending on how much partial credit she gives and if she's really... strict with her grading or more lenient. So... yeah. Then I had that take-home quiz in Multivariable Calc which... I think I got one of the questions wrong on, and then I know I definitely got one question wrong on the in-class quiz. I mean, we can drop our 3 lowest quiz grades and I've gotten full credit on all of the quizzes so far, so if both quizzes are terrible I can drop the scores, but... I'd rather wait longer before having to drop quiz scores, you know? Because the semester should just get busier as it goes on. And we got an 84 on the project, so that's bringing my grade down already. =/
I also ended up getting only like 5-6 hours of sleep each night because I was up late either doing nothing or studying/doing work, and I skipped lunch like every day this week because I was trying to get more studying in (although then I ended up wasting that time anyways, so it was pointless). So on Friday when I was taking my quiz at 4 I felt exhausted and really hungry and basically I just don't think I took very good care of myself this week. I felt 1000 times better after eating dinner last night. I just couldn't think properly during the test or quiz yesterday, which... probably is not going to help anything. Oh well.
Anyways, I have this huge project due in Developmental Psych next Friday that I was going to finish this weekend, but then I stupidly realized that I'll have time Tuesday to do it all, so... of course I'm procrastinating. sigh. Oh the plus side, my parents are visiting in less than a week, and Fall Break is less than three weeks away, and then the semester's half over and the second half of the semester actually might be less busy for me than the first half, bizarrely enough.
I watched the debate last night, and honestly, it was pretty boring. And I'm ridiculously into politics, so I feel like people not into politics probably tuned out after the first half hour. Can I just say, though, that the psych major/possible clinical psychologist in the future in me loves Obama just a little bit more everytime he brings up PTSD in taking care of veterans and the soldiers in Iraq and all that? Because that's not something you ever hear the Republicans talk about (at least, I haven't. Then again, I try not to listen to the Republicans that often for the sake of my sanity), and obviously taking care of wounded soldiers is important, but the psychological impact of the war reaches far wider than the physical impact. But anyways. I'm really looking foward to the VP debate, although I'm afraid that the bar for Palin has been set so low that as long as she's able to string sentences together, everyone will declare that she's won.
I may or may not post about TV stuff in more detail later, but I did want to say that The Office totally killed me. And last year their one-hours kind of... I don't know. They weren't very well-paced, but I thought this one was much better paced. I'm really looking forward to this season. Also, I continue to absolutely adore Secret Diary of a Call Girl. I heart Callum Blue ridiculous amounts.
