So, I spent a good five minutes banging my head against my Nutrition book this morning.
Remember when I said it was a good thing that my test was today, instead of next week? Well, I lied.
Our tests are open book, open note, everything except open laptop. And last night and this morning I printed out everything for the chapters covered today. Class notes, the powerpoint presentations she uses in class, the quizes we took on the covered chapters. I had them all clipped together, shoved into a folder which also had my scantron forms that I needed for the test.
So of course, I left it sitting on on my bed.
Hopefully I won’t do very bad without my notes. I mean, I did remember my book, and I did read everything, take notes on everything, and take all the quizes.
But I haven’t been this irritated in a long time. I think I’m losing my mind.
Update (10:01): Maybe it was a good thing I didn’t bring my notes. I finished the test in 30 minutes–first in the class to be done–and I feel like I did pretty good on it. I won’t know my grade until tomorrow morning, though. I’m trying to be suitibly pessamistic, so that I don’t jinx myself into a bad grade.
Update 11/5/06: Ha! Without my notes, I still did far better than the class average. 90/100–which means I missed five questions–while the class average was 72.













Hmm. It’s when you’re the first and feel best that you’ve typically done the worst. Good luck though!
