mayamaiaI forgot to mention it yesterday (blame Lia, she convinced me to watch two major Doctor Who serials in a row) (or rather blame me, because I started talking to Lia about youtube codenames for serials - which are awesomely confusing), but Will said just the right thing regarding Friday's midterm...
"[I did so horribly on that test/my ego is bruised...]"
"Ooh! I mean, I hope your ego is okay, but math's much more fun when it's difficult!"
"True!"
Anyway, I got a C despite only getting 52%. I know everything I did wrong - it was partially stupid algebra mistakes and partly that I totally forgot integration by parts. So I know what I need to study.
Also, my ego was assuaged by classmate James telling me I did better than he, even though he got 10s on all the homework - he picked the wrong methods for three of the five problems. OUCH.
