Just thought I'd let you know how midterms went...

Thermo went absolutely horribly...the class average was in the mid-40's

Diff actually went better than expected...we haven't gotten it back yet though, so I don't know how it really went, but I'm expecting somewhere between 70 and 80

Numerical was quite easy, but we haven't gotten it back yet either

Umm...what else....  oh, Inorganic went a lot better than I expected too...especially since it was on a Friday and the textbooks came in on Thursday...the questions were all directly from the end of chapter questions...it was quite a cram session Thursday night, let me tell you

Organic chemistry didn't go as badly as it could have, (hmm..seems to be the case with most of my midterms...gasp...maybe I actually know what I'm doing!) the only thing bad about it was the fact that it was on a Saturday morning... there were only a few questions that I had to leave mostly blank

I haven't had my last one yet...it's on Nov 10...I'm not sure how that one is going to go...it's the class that I have to miss on Monday nights, and I only get the handouts... I just have to make sure that I have all the handouts...and find out which things the prof considers "five star"...the stuff that we definitely should know for the midterm

Let's see...I think that's all there is you tell you about for now. Oh, I finally broke down and bought myself and iPod the other day.  That was quite a session as well...re-downloading and installing iTunes on my laptop, and then reloading all of my music.  Once it's in the computer, it actually doesn't take very long to copy it over to the iPod.  I got a green Nano one, 16 GB...  hee, hee...it's my first MP3 player...

Okay, I think that's really it now, so I'll sign off...

Cheers!

Sweet...it worked...

Oops, just realized I forgot to sign off the last post...

Well then,

Double Cheers!!

Okay, this is kinda cool.  I'm publishing to my blog remotely.  I was downloading Live Messenger, and there was a list of other programs I could choose to download at the same time.  One of them was called Live Writer, which allows you to connect to your blog and post remotely.  I hope it works...let me try to post this and we'll see. (Oh, my laptop is finally back...and it seems to be working properly.  Yay!!)  Okay..time to test out the actual publishing part...

I thought that having my mom's boyfriend's laptop would be great. I now love the fact that it's a tablet P.C. (I took my notes for 2 classes on this today instead of in my notebook). But now it's getting annoying. I have to start up the Internet at least twice because it always freezes up the first time. I almost lost my notes for one class because the computer froze before I could save the file and I had to restart it. Grrr.... I can't wait for my laptop to be fixed. And, it keeps losing the wireless connection for some stupid reason. Piss me off.

I have discovered something, I really dislike Diff. Eq. Like, really, really dislike it. Sigh.

Boom dee ah dah, boom dee ah dah, boom dee ah dah, boom dee ah dah...damn Discovery Channel... I always get that song stuck in my head after I see that commercial. I love it though. It's such a great commercial.

Okay. I don't know what's going on with Amazon, but I've been trying to check-out for the past 5 minutes. It's having issues connecting... hang on a sec... there, that's better... I had to go back a page and try again. Here's hoping I ordered the right books, they didn't have a picture of the one I ordered, but I'm pretty sure that it's the one I need. They didn't have a picture of the solutions manual either, so here's hoping that one was right too.

I'm beginning to kinda like this tablet thing. Except when I write kinda and they see it as kinder. Cool there. But I would never be able to take notes with it - unless there is a program somewhere that I haven't found yet. I don't even want to think about what this thing would do if I tried to write mathematical equations. Did I say that in my previous post? I don't remember.

Well, I think I might try to get some actual work done. At least, that's my intention, don't know if it'll happen or not, but that's the intention.

Cheers!
This is going to be interesting. My laptop is going in for repairs and I'm going to be without it for 3 weeks. I managed to convince my mom's boyfriend to lend me his, which is a tablet P.C. This means that I'm not actually typing this entry. I'm using the pen and actually writing. It's taking a little longer than typing because the computer doesn't always recognize what I type... (for example, "I type" was first entered as Hype). Sometimes it takes a while to make the computer understand what I want to "say".

It's still pretty cool though.

Cheers!
