tarigwaemirAd Mundo Exteriore,
I am totally exhausted from the math final, although I think I survived, mostly because I hadn't studied enough and therefore was more careful in solving problems. Excepting that embarrassing moment when I got utterly quagmired in a line integral and then realized that the horrendous-looking vector field was a bloody gradient after all. (Don't mind me, I've been reading Harry Potter fanfiction during my "breaks" from studying this past weekend, and the language has stuck in my head. Why the heck I end up thinking/acting/talking like the characters I read about is beyond me but probably will be the basis for another soul-searching self-analysis.) Anyway, it was really stupid of me to get stuck on that problem because I should have realized that it was time for a question on the Fundamental Theorem of Line Integrals by that point. Really straightforward test--I'm not sure if I remembered the trigonometric identities correctly on that last Stokes' theorem problem, but it all solved so nicely that I don't really care.
Speaking about not caring...I'm going to take the Rome of Augustus final cold. Well, not completely cold, I did go to the review session yesterday night, but I didn't really study for it. Nor will I panic and try to study for it now. Maybe I'll look at a few images but...I'm mentally and physically drained right now, and I've gotten all As in Rome of Augustus so far. I've done all the readings over break when I was researching my paper, and while there are a few topics I'm not too confident about, I don't particularly need to get an A in this class. And the only way that I won't get an A at this point is if I do really, really badly on the final, which I don't think is very likely, even if I haven't looked over anything.
Justifying aside, I'm hungry, my mind is tired and disgusted with itself, and I've a three-hour exam full of writing to look forward to...I don't have any energy to spend on last-minute cramming. Whatever. I feel so awful right now, even though I should be cheering that there's only one final left.
I'm going to sleep early tonight. >_<

Date: 2004-01-27 12:18 pm (UTC)Well, I'm glad that my tests are over so far and if I haven't completely screwed up the one today I shall be fine *sigh*. Still... there's always that uncertainty about it all ><;;
But I found that, unsurprisingly, I'm always better at tests when I'm actually interested in the topic. So I guess I'd do better on Rome than on math ^^;; But other people don't care for history but like calculating. I just never was one of them... ^_~
