I wrapped these three months up in one 30-questions test this morning. I said to myself, "Ah! This is going to be a BREEZE!"
Yea... I was wrong.
I DID study! Thank Heavens... But I should have studied a lot more than I accomplished.
Like I said, the test was 30 questions. 100 points in all. I figured I would remember everything to a T. Well, I remembered stuff I needed to SURVIVE, yet I could've used some help on, say, some of the word problems.
Damn you, word problems...
During the two hours of test taking, I wrote my notes on a scrap of paper. I told myself, "Leave the test alone! Make it clean lookin'! Maybe the correctors will appreciate it!"
God dang, was I wrong AGAIN!
When I was "finished," I handed the test to my teacher. She flipped. She said, "You have to show your work or they'll (the correctors) think you cheated!"
Great, right? I had to go back and write everything down ON THE TEST. It was incredibly frustrating because for 1) I only had thirty minutes left and 2) My notes were ALL OVER THE PLACE!
I panicked. I almost broke down. My anxiety was definitely taking over my thought process!
However, I managed to write my notes down, turn in the test, and leave the room with slight confidence that I passed.
Key word there: slight.
I'm sure I passed, though.
On the plus side, my math teacher LOVED what I bought her. I bought her a Swarovski gift - the owl of wisdom. She asked with a grateful smile, "Why did you buy me an expensive present?" I said with another smile, "Because you are a great teacher!" She replied, "Thank you." And I replied back, "You're welcome."
I'm going to have to visit her in the future. She's just one of those math teachers you can't hate only because they're teaching math. It's her personality that proves she's not a boring math teacher! She's funny, friendly, helpful, and serious when need be.
AND she IS a marvelous math teacher (in my opinion) She helped me understand math like I've never been able to before. But after many months of having her as a teacher, I feel confident in answering math questions and asking questions, too.
I will miss her teaching me. She's been my math teacher since the day I started going to college. I think there was some bonding going on over the months. :)
Once I was done with my test, I hurried home. I sat down, built a fire, and continued my latest project.
I'm speculating on whether I should share the pictures I made of my characters or not. This project is getting pretty serious. Even though I signed the pictures, people know how to manipulate a photo without anyone noticing a signature is gone.
Call me paranoid, but I would rather have my stuff safe than brag about how cool they look.
I'll share some National Geographic pictures instead!
