Post-Quiz Breather

Okay, so the big chunk of the week has passed; the first round of speeches is over in Public Communication, and I've survived my first two quizzes.

The history test went great; it was all stuff I knew, and if I did anything wrong, I may have put too much into the short written answers (I squeezed out three paragraphs on the Epic of Gilgamesh when we were probably only supposed to do one), but I made sure my writing wasn't too tiny to read.

The math test was a little higher-stress, but I'm feeling confident. There are a couple of reasons...

1) Professor Johnson is a believer in the "Gentleman's C" and will give half-credit for effort and trying to work, even if all that goes down is a plea for help. I did manage to get something down on every question.

2) I know for a fact that I got several answers right, so I know that I did better than the polite grading.

3) The questions were weighted, and the ones that really gave me grief were small potatoes, compared to the ones that came more easily.

4) The simple way to feel good about a test... I took all the time available to make sure I thought everything through and did my best.

So I'm pretty sure things went really well. Woohoo.

Okay, I'm going to go down to the gym this afternoon, and then I have a quiet evening. I'll post again soon.
