The Math17 First Long Exam

Yesterday, I was not able to attend my Math17 class since I was still in deep slumber the entire period. My classmates who were in the class were able to see their Math17 first long exam grades.

Since I consider two consecutive absences a mortal sin, I attended my Math17 class today. I was uhm, ten minutes late. They were already discussing the answers of our first long exam when I came in. I immediately grabbed my blue book (it’s a blue book where we place our answers) and checked my score.

The score reads “41 = 82%”. Waaaadaaafaaaaa—, yehey!! I was quite confused how to react. Should I be sad of the results or be happy of it. I was not able to compare my score with my other classmates so I did not have a benchmark on how I performed.

I know for a fact that my parents read my blog (Hehehe). Honestly, I did not know how to react mainly because I’m confused if I should be very happy for getting such a score without much effort or if I should be sad for missing out nine points of the exam. I did very little preparation for the exam. The only preparation I could consider is the fact that I tried to answer my roommates first long exam (which was relatively easy compared to ours and other classes’). I did not bother opening my notes since they were too neat that nothing is written on them. Since high school, I heavily relied on my photographic and auditory memory ’cause I love listening more than copying notes. For all of my life I hated copying notes!

Nine points were just nine points. Nine points is just 18% of the total number of items. Nine points is negligible. I did well on my exams, I think.

Amf! I am, again, rationalizing. Well, it’s nice to know that I rationalize to reduce my guilt. Oh yeah, I did some preparations for the exam. I should be sad of the results — I studied for the exam, at least. I answered another class’ first long exam before my exam. Yeah, I should be sad.

Wahahahahaha, who said I hated crapping around my blog. This is my blog anyway.

Go Mikko — you did well on your Math17 first long exam. You deserve it!

Did this post right after my Math17 class.
