Patchy Reads


Patchy reads and re-reads a book over and over again. Her lines are also changing rapidly. It must be a good book or something, I guess. Or maybe she’s in college and she’s studying for her finals. Wow, what a great transition sentence, because I will be studying for (and taking) finals this week and the beginning of next week!

Grade Analysis

This is a pretty accurate depiction of my (as well as many of my classmates’) thought process when it comes to test grades! I figure it’s impossible for me to get an A in chemistry with only one test left, but on the bright side, even if I get a 63 on the next test, I’ll still have a B average! And then I apply that same thought process to almost all my other classes! Probably not good to think that way, but it’s sorta comforting to know how much you can fail without failing!

Here is a nifty PV (I guess it’s a draft version) by noya involving Keine and some random youkai attackers. And Mokou’s in it too.

As for why I’m posting this today instead of Sunday, I had way too much homework to do today.

Scantrons

I didn’t know what a scantron was until sometime last year. Or maybe it was two years… or one and a half. Well, it was around when I had that SAT prep course. I knew what they were, I just didn’t know they were called “scantrons”; most people just called them “bubble sheets” or something, so at first I thought it was some sort of machine, and was disappointed when I found out it was just a sheet of paper. Anyway, the problem with them is that when you get too many of the same answers in a row, you start to doubt yourself, especially if the filled-in circles make a neat repeating pattern!

Today’s general chemistry test was a 60-question multiple choice thing, which I’m not used to at all. Plus, we used scantrons, which I never did in highschool except for standardized tests. We went over the questions right after we took it, and I did pretty well! Way better than the first gen chem test. As for the linear algebra midterm I also had today, that didn’t go so well.

Safety Manuals

Had an orientation for machine shop safety today, which was followed by a ~50 question multiple choice test. Little did I know that we were supposed to have read a safety manual (actually, I did know, but I just read the safety guidelines, which I thought was the manual, until I realized it wasn’t) or that we were allowed to print them out and use them during the test, but a lot of the questions kinda seemed like common sense, though not as easy as the ones in the daily flash. Many questions were about things discussed/shown in the orientation, so paying attention is necessary (which I did!). Some of the questions were kinda specific, and I didn’t know those so I kinda guessed, and got some of them correct. The tests were checked right after we finished taking them, and I passed! Actually I don’t think failing it really does anything; you just have to retake the test or something. And yeah. Safety. I guess I will read that manual even though I don’t think I’ll really be using the machine shop that often.
