The study of [not having a] life

[jedusor]

The professor who taught the first half of my biology class told me today at the final review session that he doesn't normally like colored hair, but that mine is very nice. I imagine he developed a liking for the color after all that time he's spent in Alaskan lake water gathering threespine stickleback specimens.

Speaking of biology, it's the only class that I'm really worried about. I know I've got an A in Qualitative Methods thanks to the top-notch bullshit I spouted the last two months of class, and I went into the Experimental Methods final with 98% overall, and I think I'm good in Social Psych as long as I don't totally botch the term paper... but the only way I'll get more than 90% in bio is if I aced the test last Friday (the grades aren't up yet) and I also ace the final this week. I think I did well on that last test, and the final is multiple-choice, but I'm nowhere near confident.

I MIGHT GET A B, YOU GUYS. THIS IS SRS. :(

I will never mock the possibility of a B. They are indeed srs. I was scared I was going to get one back in Calculus I, but I eked out a 90.something. (There were a couple of methods I just could not memorize.)

I got a C in nutrition (when I was eleven and had no idea how to study), a C in introductory algebra (I blame my teacher, because I got an A in intermediate algebra), a B in French I, another B in French II, and a B in statistics (baaaarely missed the A). Considering that I've taken over seventy units of community college courses and those are the only non-A grades I've gotten, I guess that's not all that bad. But I still wince when I think about any of them. :/

Oh, and a B in Sex Roles and Sexuality. But that Does Not Count, because that was the batshit-insane teacher who graded a 3.9 as a B, so you had to do everything perfectly to get an A in the class.

It belatedly occurs to me that I might sound like I've never ever gotten a B. Just to be clear, my agony was that it was a potential B in a math class.

Understood. If I'd ever gotten a B in a psychology class or an English class, I'd have to do some serious soul-searching to get past it.
