I’m twitchy

Somebody needs to explain to me why my highest test scores show up on tests for which I felt I did very poorly.

Seriously. Every time. If I think I did okay on a test, I usually get a low- or mid-A. If I think I rocked a test, same thing.

But if I think I bombed it? That’s when I end up doing very well.

It’s weird.

Sorry, not much to talk about today, haha.

WTF, mate?

EXPLAIN THIS TO ME: how in the hell did I get a 103% on that probability test?

Seriously, how?

Instead of making like two dozen incredibly stupid mistakes, I only made one incredibly stupid mistake, and then got one of the bonus questions right.
I think the universe is broken. I certainly didn’t deserve a 103%, that’s for sure.
Next week we’ll see how the Proofs test went.

NOW IT’S TIME FOR A NICE LONG WALK!

(Unrelated side note: every single one of my Amazon “based on your browsing history” suggestions is a book about Leibniz. I have trained you well, Amazon.)

Graaaaaaaaaaaades

So I think my calculus II test scores are the first few terms of an infinite alternating series that converges to 95.

Those of you who remember your tests grades: did yours ever follow a particular pattern? Depending on how many tests are scheduled for a class in a semester, I get the following patterns:

Two tests:
Test 1: High A
Test 2: High A

Three tests:
Test 1: Moderate A
Test 2: Low A
Test 3: High A

Four tests:
Test 1: Moderate A
Test 2: High A
Test 3: Low A
Test 4: High A
(and if there’s a fifth test as a final, then I usually do okay on that one)

Linear Algebra was the exception to this…I just had all Bs in place of the As and that’s why that’s been the ONE CLASS in which I haven’t gotten an A.

It’s the world “algebra,” man. We still don’t get along.

END!
