all...moosst...there...

After my weekend in Vegas, my skoolwork finally caught up to me last weekend. I had to write a five page research paper by Monday morning, and since I decided to change my topic at the last moment, I needed to get all new sources. We were supposed to have eight credible sources, but I turned in my rough draft with only half of that. Right after I turned that in, I needed to get cracking on either my Chemistry lab write up, or my two weeks worth of math problems. When I first looked at my chem lab data from last weeks lab, I was at a loss. I attempted to do some of the calculations, but they just weren't going anywhere promising. After emailing a few people for help I gave up. I worked on my math homework, but that was stumping me too.

Moral low, I went to work at 5 and got off at 8.

Then I tried the chem some more and did a bunch more calculations that were giving me incredibly odd answers and ended up going to bed, defeated, at 2am.

On my way to the chem lecture this morning, I met a kid in the class going the other way who told me that it had been canceled. I asked him about his calculations and he offered to help me with it when we got back to the dorms since we lived on the same floor. Long story short, I had been doing the calculations right, but was just getting outrageous answers from my data.

The rest of the day was spent doing/attempting math homework. I skipped my ENGR 248 lecture and only showed up the ENGR 248 recitation to get my name on the role sheet, then I skooted off to try to finish the math. I was working with my neighbor, Jacklyn Marcotte, and we both ran into completely dead ends, more than a few times. At 5:45 we headed off to our doom with the weather verifying this. The dreary night bestowed upon us a math test that would play a big role in our final grade.

I can only describe the test itself as iffy. There where two problems that I ran into completely dead ends on and each of the problems were 19 points, so if you fudge one problem, your effed. I'm pretty sure I nailed the five points of extra credit though, so that helps.

Now that I have put that behind me, I must get cracking on that chem lab that has already gone horribly wrong.

I bid you adieu.
