So lamented my Physics professor after handing back my test w/its grade of 70%. He also said, "I expected you to make a 100%," which really boggles the mind b/c I cannot imagine what would have given him the impression that I know enough abt. what's going on in that class that he would *expect* me to make a perfect grade on the test. Perhaps he was misled by my regular attendance, or my perpetual grimace and occasional nodding during lecture, or maybe he honestly thinks I'm smart enough to do that well. I dunno. Either way, after going over my many mistakes w/Dr. A, I have determined that while it is possible (though not likely) that I am smart enough to have made a 100% on that test, I just don't care enough to try. I simply can't be asked.
All of my mistakes were the result of simple carelessness (lots of missing or misplaced negative signs) or an incomplete understanding of the concept at hand, not b/c it was hard, but just b/c I didn't feel like spending 10 more mins. making and memorizing some stupid flashcards. Seriously. I barely made a C on a not-too-difficult test b/c I'm f-ing lazy, end of story. Lazy ppl. do not do well in med school.
I need to sort this out.
On the upside, I still did better than most of the ppl. in my class (of course), so it appears that a curve is likely for our final grades, though Dr. A has been resistant heretofore. Goody for me. I have another Physio test on Wed. and am fending off contractions of panic that are coming more and more frequently as I realize I have less and less time to read all of the stuff I have been putting off for the last four wks....
....And yet, here I sit during my four-hr. break b/t classes NOT studying.
brilliant.

Girls can't do math. It's a fact. Since math is the language of physics, I wouldn't have expected you to get more than a 35%, so in your own little way, you got a 200%!!! But you can't follow that, can you, because you're a girl. So sad.
For the record I'm joking, so don't bite my face off the next time you see me. I'm too pretty to die.
There was a 3 pg. spread on Cambria , town outside of Hearst Castle, in Sunset magazine and it also lists all the good cafes, shops, hikes etc. to do! I am so excited for our trip!
