On December

And when did it become December?? It still feels and looks like October, just with a lot more rain and wind.

On Exams and Resulting Stress

It's that time of the year. My finals are Wednesday, next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. And things are just about usual with them. My current major stress is stats, though I know I will do fine on that. I'm mostly worried because it's first and I won't do outstandingly, because no matter how hard I try, well, stats just sucks. In a more far-sighted view, oceanography is worst. Because it has the most physics and is the class I like least and am least good at. And I haven't gotten to study for it much because (oh joy), it's my last final and I have three beforehand.

Also though, stats is stressful because I just learned today that (they never announced this or made it apparent at any time, either, and I only learned through one of my housemates) graphing calculators are not allowed. And.. I don't know how to use non-graphing calculators or do the equations out by hand because I've never had to. I tried it out though by guessing and I got it right on my guess! (It's because actually it's very straightforward, I was just worried because everyone had all these long equations memorized.. and yet I figured it out based on logic.. so not sure about that but it DID work for me!).
