I did my very best this semester

Well, my first semester at Utah State is over. I knew it was going to happen when I woke up at 5:30, but it was a long road to get there. I took the eight o’clock bus to campus and studied until 10:20, and then went to the Fine Arts Visual building to take my calculus final.

It was a pretty relaxed one. I was prepared for most of the things I saw and surprised by a few, but I knew I only needed a C+ on the final to keep my A in the course. My final hasn't yet been graded, but I’m certain it’s good enough to keep my A. In fact, I’m willing to bet I got an A- on the final alone.

Statistics was not as fun. Alek (my stats buddy) and I met up a little more than a half hour before the exam to go over some last minute details in our notes. But once we got in, the test went by in what felt like 15 minutes. In all, we had an hour and 50 minutes, but it was not enough. Alek told me before going in that he was probably going to skip to the free response section to knock that out first. After two multiple choice problems at the start of the test, I knew I should move on and take care of the big stuff because there were more points at stake. As it turned out, I had about 10 minutes at the end to go through the multiple choice and true/false questions, so I guessed on a lot of them.
