finals week

spring semester is officially done. i am so glad. i needed some family time. things went really well. i got my fourth test back for chemistry (my last midterm test). i got a 99, which of course bugs me, because why did i miss that one. actually i'm pretty grateful because the section that i missed it on was one that i filled out the whole thing in the last one minute of test time. it was worth 18 points and was labeling an amino acid with molecular geometry, bond angle, and hybridization. so if i missed one out of 18 in a mad rush to get it filled out, i guess that's not too bad. the good news is that the lowest midterm is thrown out, so that sick 92 is gone, and i have 100, 100, and 99 for my exam scores. i'm pretty sure i aced the final, so i feel really good about chemistry. i'm taking the same teacher for ochem in a couple of weeks, so i'm excited to keep that relationship building. maybe we can go see a movie, or hold hands in the park or something. i got a 99 on my calc final, but he messed up on one problem which made the answer come out really messy, so he gave 5 extra credit points for whoever got it right. so i ended up with a 102 in that class for the semester. so i've got two letters of recommendation locked up pretty well. so excited about that. my bio final i didn't worry about so much. i would need to get a 60 on that final in order to get an A- in the class, and that's before the curve, so i didn't study as hard for that as i could have. i wanted to focus my attention on calc and chemistry. so i probably got a B on the test, which after the curve will probably be an A, but it doesn't matter. i got an A for the class and don't need a letter from him and i'm not going to try and TA for him, so i'm just glad its done. that class wore on me for some reason. i have my own views on evolution and sometimes they were in line with the class, but sometimes i just heard "this is all hypothesis" or "we have no way of knowing" one too many times. maybe if the biologists prayed for answers, they'd find them....hmmmm....dilemma. anyway, good semester, excited for a week and a half with my family, and then back to the books. PLUS RESEARCH!!! can't wait. fish lab, here i come.
