Home Front

Today I had my political science midterm. I really didn't know what to expect and I wasn't quite prepared, so I got up 'early' to study for it this morning. I feel like it went well. After my classes, I got a ride home. It is great to be home with the family. It has been a fun evening.

Excellent Question

Today I have quite a bit of studying I need to get done. An average of 3-4 times per class, my professor says, "now that would make an excellent midterm question" or something along those lines. The class meets 3 times a week and it is week number 5 of classes. This means I have over 50 such possible midterm questions. It is hard to know what I need to know for this test tomorrow.

Cinco de Mustache

Today is Cindo de Mayo. It is also perhaps less widely known as Cindo de Mustache. For that reason, I went to a mustache party. It was fun. We all had mustaches, real or drawn with sharpie. There was good food, a pinata, a reenactment of the Battle of Puebla, and lots of good men with mustaches. This may be one of my new favorite holidays.

Score More

Today I got back my Economic midterm. I've gotten 8/10 on both the quizzes, so true to form, I got an 80% on the midterm. Not too bad, especially considering the tricky nature of some of the questions and their answers. After a curve is applied, the grade is even higher and after my 2.75 points are added, it is even higher.

For the first time that I can remember, I decided to argue I should have gotten more points than I did on a few problems. Usually, I figure it isn't worth it to bicker over a few points. However, he said if we thought we should get more points to write out an explanation and he would look at it. We'll see what happens.

Test Two

Today I had my second test in my psychology class. I honestly didn't put that much work in for the first one, and still got a decent grade. I feel like I put in a bit more work for this test, but probably not by much if that is even true. I feel like I did about the same on this test. I'm just glad it is over. I found out I have a midterm on Friday that I thought was later. Time to get working on that.

Sunday Less Fun Day

Today I had some studying to get done. I studied quite a bit yesterday, so thankfully I already had quite a bit done. Even though it was raining, it was hard to study. There are so many other ways I would rather spend a Sunday afternoon and I had to fit in my Sunday afternoon nap as well.

Prove It

Today I was able to get some studying done. The days isn't over, so there is even the possibility more studying could get done. I also went to the rec center. I played a game of H-O-R-S-E with a friend of mine. I was down and needed to decided who was "going to prove it". If I missed, I lost. If I let him take the shot and he made it, I lost. I decided to take the shot, I missed. Game over. Perhaps I should have put the pressure on him. I'm sure my game theory class would have had something to say about who should have taken the shot.
