Calculated Failure

I know I haven't been posting lately and it's because it's midterm season here in Waterloo. All of us keeners, and not so keen students, are cramming in the lessons we failed to absorb while our professors rambled on about action potentials and nerual glia.

Anyways, I went to the gym with Lapin, now to be known as DirtyElbow (yes, no space), on Tuesday where we worked out. I suppose my lack of new music caused me to be in a little bit of a slump. It got me through the elliptical, but I just wasn't in the mood to lift weights. After a rather weak set of chest, abs, and back workouts, we left.

Wednesday proved to be even less interesting. I missed math class in order to finish up a biology assignment worth 4%--whoopie---that required much more effort to finish than seemed necessary. My entire house was in the same predicament, but we ended up finishing. In fact, we even had a little break and played some card games. After the tutorial and handing in of assignments, we headed home. I wanted to get a bagel from Timmies, but alas, they were all out. I was about to go across campus to satiate my hunger, but my housemates protested and we all headed home. The meeting was cancelled for HAPN as well as our Drop-In sports event due to rain.

All of Thursday and beginning of Friday were spent in solitude studying calculus by flashlight. Well, in my dungeon room, the lighting would make it seem so. I grabbed all the concepts and found the practice midterm to be fairly reasonable. When the actual time came around to writing the midterm, I blanked. I quickly scribbled down what I could and with each question, I seemed to get more and more desperate. It didn't help that the midterm was more difficult than the one posted online. My entire class left the examination room in a bit of a rut. Way to kick off the weekend. The good news was that PadFeet, another one of my housemates, is coming up to Waterloo this weekend.

Surely, this will bring about good times and perhaps some headaches.
