The benefits of studying

I think even without the aid of a cheatsheet last night, I could have passed the bio exam with flying colors. Seems that studying like a crazed weasel paid off, and I predict that even without that stupid grading curve, I’ll land myself a big fat B.

It was amazing how many people in the class didn’t use a cheatsheet. It wasn’t an easy exam by any means. We were expected to know the names of all the tissues in all the organs and parts of the body (I managed to actually recall that the kidneys are lined with squamous cuboidal epithelials…there’s hope for me yet!), not to mention all the fun chemistry shit related to photosynthesis, on top of many many other things. Trying to remember plant info AND animal info was taxing…and I couldn’t have done it without the aid of the cheatsheet (although Dr. Faranak in all his Persian sneakiness mandated that the cheatsheets could only be one-sided AND had to be handwritten. Bastard.). So i don’t know what the non-cheatsheeters were thinking. When I left, over half the class was still sitting there, dumbfounded and looking really pale.

Now if I can just bone up for my two forestry exams on Saturday and blow both of those curves right out of the water, I’ll be the Queen once again. You know you wanna bow…

For all of you who are waiting with bated breath to know when ’05 Fest tickets go on sale, keep an eye on your e-mail/snail mail boxes. Notes are going out on Monday the 22nd and I expect people to buy tickets and show up and be happy, or I’ll come find you and kick your ass all up and down the block. I can do it. Don’t make me show you. I didn’t stuff all these envelopes for nothing!
