NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

i got my first B this week. on a chemistry test. i was killing chemistry up to this point. i had two one hundreds. what the crap happened. sure the average was a 54 and i had an 85, but it might as well have been a 54. i knew that i hadn't had time to check my answers so i probably had a couple of dumb mistakes in there, and i did. but one of the things i got wrong really bugged me. it was on resonance structures, and i listed the two structures that were possible from the lecture and the book, but he said there was another one that was possible, even though it's not in the notes or in the book. i wish they would have said before the test that we'd have to do some mind reading, because i wasn't aware that that was allowed. anyway, they actually made a couple mistakes in grading and i ended up getting a 92. not great, but at least the A streak is still alive.

  1. what the crap, matt? you didn't even get a b? resonance structures are tricky and that's thoroughly lame that you had to get all possibilities.
    but man, i'm just so impressed with what a good student you are. i mean, to me this is one of the hardest academic paths ever and you're ace-ing it. it's all going to be worth it and someday you'll be on oprah.
