I’m not cut out for this
April 18th, 2008 @ 2:42 pm

I’m not cut out for a lot of things, but right now I’m referring to the weather.  The twitter says it all!  About the hottest it can go before I launch into an It’s Too Hot™ campaign is 20°C.   Thank god I won’t be in Ontario for the hottest part of the Summer, but it still horrifies me to think it’s this hot in mid April..

So I took the science exam.  I’m both glad it’s other with and at the same time want to do it over again.  For one, I guess I majorly understudied for the Earth science part, because I barely knew it. Heh. I thought I had all the bases covered. :urgh:

The next thing that went wrong was the librarian cut me off at 2 hours.  And he wasn’t pleasant about it. That’s not fair because, yes, the exams are scheduled as 2 hours, but you are given an extra hour if you need it.  That’s 3 hours, bastard.  Yet it didn’t occur to my passive, glazed over self * that I did in fact have an extra hour, until I hit submit, gathered my stuff and went downstairs to the main floor.   Despite my failure to realize this, the guy was wrong regardless.  Honestly, with an exception of a rare few, my experience with librarians have been unpleasant.  Of all the librarians I’ve come across, I’ve maybe met one that was kind.  I’ve encountered many, however, that either have no personality, are in a permanent bad mood or barely seem to breathe they’re so unresponsive.  And usually it’s all of the above.  Of course this is a stereotype, that has definitely been proved true in lots of cases, but not all.  But this is my personal experience and this guy that very well might’ve fucked over my exam is another strike in favour of that theory.

So all in all, I’m not sure how well I did.  I don’t know how this works but, the good news is my final mark in the coursework part of Science was 97%, which counts for 80% of the final grade.  If the final exam counts for 20%. and I got let’s just say 50% on that, what would be my overall percentage grade? Anyone?

EDIT: Figured that out, that was obvious. :$

I should probably just let it go.  What’s happened has happened.  It’s just I was really proud of my good mark in the coursework part and I’d hate this stupid turn of events to bring down my grade.  I’ve always struggled with Science and doing so well this year was no easy task for me.  I usually had to research every single question before I could fathom an answer.  It’s not so much the grade as the grade reflects my abilities, and I’m sure I could have done better if I had had the chance to look over my answers.  I definitely don’t want to fuck up science, it’s an important thing to succeed in.  How well I do in school is one I thing I do have control over, and I intend to fully take responsibility.

Ah, control.. it brings me to a whole new set of issues, that I will discuss on here, but not just yet.  I’m going to make a conscious effort to say my true feelings on here, WITHOUT censoring/criticizing myself or second guessing if that’s the way I should feel, as opposed to just saying the way I actually do.

Well, Dinner will be ready soon, or at least should be damnit *bangs fork and knife on table* so I’ll wrap this up.. please pray I at least passed the exam?  I just might need that x|

* Figuring out science will do that to ya
