It's Over...

I took my midterm exam last night. Let me just say that I'm glad that it's over, but so very mad at myself for making 2 very stupid mistakes. Mistakes that had I not been so stressed out and a nervous wreck - I would've never ever missed. Ugh.

So, how did I do? Well, that depends on how he wants to grade. Meaning, I did make some mistakes. Some were very small and I think only deserves to have 1 pt taken off, but knowing him, he might take 5pts off. Like, I used the words "discrete numbers" instead of "variables" in one of my definitions. I wonder how he'll take that. Plus, in one of my long equations we had to write out, I put a tiny negative sign where there shouldn't be one. The last time I did that on a quiz, he only took off 1pt...so I'm hoping he does the same on the test. Stupid negative sign.

Then... the TRIMMEAN function... Oh how I hate math... At the beginning of the test, we weren't told we could use our computers. So, I was doing math using a pencil and paper. Well, that never goes well for me. About half way through the test, he tells us that we can use our PCs. So, I checked my GEOMEAN function math, but never went back and checked my TRIMMEAN math. Stupid mistake on my part. So, I'll see a big fat X there. Other than those mistakes, I only made one other mistake (that I know of). So, depending on how he grades... I could've made a B or a C. Guess we'll see!

Now, thank God, Spring Break has started for me! No school until March 29th! Yes! So, after work, I can hit the gym and run the trails! YAY!!!!!!!!
