Week 13

Another week...

...another week goes by, but I don't say that with penitence. The weeks have been treating me well. However, I am finding myself in a similar situation. I am starting to become overwhelmed by all sorts of activities, which has somewhat left me lost in some classes. This one, is not so much as severe as the others, but I am feeling some weak effect. I am still getting the material in, and it's all making sense. What we are learning now isn't taking much effort to learn, which is great. I am mostly happy with my recent assessments, but I still need to re-assess. Unfortunately, the recent weeks haven't allowed that, for either party. Maybe this week I can fit it in, because I'd hate to find out at the last minute that the second quarter is already over and I am stuck with my sketchy grades.

Concerning the future, I'm not concerned with the mid-term. I don't know why people freak out so much about it. Just study, study, and study. It's not that hard. Of course you will be falling apart and crying if you only spend five minutes a day looking at your study material. It's your own fault. I usually don't spend a lot of time anyways, because they allow cards for some classes, which in my own opinion isn't that good of an idea because they probably won't let you use a card in college classes anyways. That always worries me, so I recently I have attempted to learn more and not rely so heavily on the card. I actually pulled this in my math class last year. I remember getting an A without looking at the card one time (well, once just because the test was too easy, I had to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong...). Maybe I can do the same thing again?? I don't know, because some material is pretty difficult and I think I might have to let some slide.

It's too bad I missed the last lab; I bet it was pretty cool. But no, I decided to skip school for a field trip in Toledo. I was so bored that I think that lab would have paid off the whole day. From what I heard, the lab involved heating copper to glow? That's cool! But however I also heard it was very hectic, and rushed. I would hate to be the one to get in the way, so maybe it was better to have less people there. I was there for the results, and even that was pretty cool, seeing how everyone computed a fairly-close constant for the copper. Maybe there will be another cool lab for me this year.
