Random memoranda

As I get increasingly more excited about going home tomorrow, I've decided to curb that excitement by taking the time to update you on a few things.

  • First, I took my Spanish lit exam last week and I aced it - 114%! Mi profesora da demasiado credito extra, pero no me molesta.
  • Then, I took my microbiology exam (the one I really was very numb about). I got the multiple choice section back a few days ago - I only missed one out of thirty-five, and I think I aced the short answer and essay section, so that translates to a 96 - still pretty good.
  • And then I took my organic exam last week and got it back on Friday - I made a 100! My professor started the lecture saying that the average for the exam was very low, much lower than normal, and that grading those exams made her weep. So I was extremely worried about my score because there is no way to tell when you finish an exam how you did - it could go either way. But it all worked out in the end.
  • And then I got my Spanish lit research paper back today - the rough draft - and my professor was very impressed with it - the only thing she wanted me to fix was some italicizing! This is the same paper that I wrote dilligently until the last quarter, and then I slapped on the lamest conclusion possible, and hit print - and refused to have anything more to do with it.
So life is going pretty well for me right now. Callie says, just to let me know, that I am the kind of student that every other student hates. But does that bother me? Not really. I can't wait to go home tomorrow night!!
