I. Fucking, Rule.
So how do you think my midterm went on Monday.
You know, the one for the upper-divison Genetics class? The one that I don't really have the prerequisites for, just high school bio?
The midterm at 8 am on Monday morning?
Well....
I ACED IT!
As in, Perfect Score, 105/100 points (i.e. all my answers were flawless, including the answer to the extra-credit question).
Woo!
Who's the man? I'm the man ;-) (well, figuratively speaking)
I was so happy I let some radical leftie (although he opposed to the term "left activism", according to him, the terms left and right had been created to "divide and conquer") talk to me for a while, and it didn't even spoil my mood.
Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely on the left part of the political spectrum, very much so in this country. But I dislike those people with intense eyes and conspiracy theories. When I finally managed to get rid of him by saying I preferred to think about these things alone in my room with a book, he called it masturbation. But whatever's wrong with that?
Of course, the Physics midterm didn't go quite as well. Oh, ok, it's Hedwiglike "not quite as well", which means I'll probably have a reasonably good grade, but still. The test had two elements, and while the first part was easy (and worth 70 points, so I shouldn't complain), I screwed up the second part. Yes, it was only 30 points, but I spent most of my time on it and got out of the classroom very frustrated. There will be no surprises here, either, because when in one of your processes you can't seem to make charge conservation work, you know it's wrong.
But really, with a perfect score for another midterm, who the hell cares?
On a smaller side-note, Driek van Wissen became "Dichter des Vaderlands", i.e. "Poet of the Nation" (the Dutch nation, in this case). Yay for him! Also, just in case you wonder why I picked this snippet of news when there was so much to choose from, it's because Lia and Jelto, two good friends of my parents', campaigned extensively for him.
I know people who know people who know people...Beware!
Alright, I know, it's a very scattered posting...
To close off, more randomness, in the form of an addition to the list of strange American habits:
They drink milk with their cookies, and eat cookies with their milk. No wonder they don't have tea! They've found another excuse drink to accompany cookies with.
Cheers from LA
A very happy (and did I mention amazing?) Hedwig
P.S. I now -thanks to Terry- have all the necessary ingredients to make Tequila Sunrise. Life is great.
