Got the grades.
Jun. 23rd, 2005 05:45 pmThe grades just came in today.
I nailed the Geology class. Which was expected -- hooray, extra credit.
Unbelievably I got 3.8 for Logic. I must have aced the final. Given that the score was based on only two exams and three assignments - one of which I only got 50% (the evil dreaded conditional proofs) - I must have had a perfect or near perfect score on the final.
Now time for the sigh of disappointment: 3.6 in the Religions class. Ouch, that's a shock. I'd nailed all most of the weekly assignments and the two exams, so I must have really blown the final exam.
Okay, yeah, it was a really tough class, but I think I've just learned a lesson in "balance" and "overkill."
Guess I worried about the wrong test.
Hunh.
Fourteen years as a monastic and my lowest score for the quarter is in Religions. There's a certain irony in that.

Truth is, both the Logic and the Religions classes were very demanding courses -- my sanity was called into question by my classmates ("You're taking This class and Logic?"). To get decent grades while taking both at the same time pleases me a great deal. Neither were classes where I could fall back on writing papers, and I worked my ass off I tell you.
I just always have that little flogger out (come on, Icarus, you can do better than that). Keeps me on my toes.
I expected those scores to be reversed. What did I do on that final exam?
