Re-learning how to breathe

Finally, after a straight week of anxious midterms, I am free of any assignments and homeworks. Thus, my Spring break is beginning. Granted, I'll still go to class these next two days, but there is definitely a change in my attitude, I know that for sure. For those of you with tests still pending, my heart goes out to you, it really does. But just imagine how good you'll feel when they're all done.

So here's a midterm breakdown:

AME 324B- Pretty easy seeming. Hope I didn't screw up on something easy.
Expected: 90%
Got: TBA [Edit 3/26 100% Hooray! Maybe I don't suck at this class!]

PHYS 242- I was freaking out on the test. Man, I should have read the book more.
Expected: 80%
Got: 90% Yay I officially have a D in that class. (as in, if i didn't do any more homeowrk or tests for the remaining of the semester I'd still get a D.)

MATH 466- Pretty straightforward, though one problem gave me a hard time.
Expected: 85%
Got: 99% I love Dr. Watkins! That's all I have to say.

AME 300- Nothing too confusing. Stupid E&M formulas.
Expected: 90%
Got: TBA [Edit 3/26: 92%, though I think one of the questions was really vague and cost me 6 points. Stupid intervals.]

AME 455- I got all nice numbers. That should mean something.
Expected: 90%
Got: TBA [Edit 3/24: D2L says I got a 100 on it! Sweet.]

So maybe I stress out too much on midterms. I don't know. All I know is that the feeling of relief just about makes up for all the worrying.

My cousin got Smash Brawl. Pretty cool looking. I have a feeling I won't get to play Guitar Hero on my Wii that much anymore. I'm not that into Smash, but it's fun.

If I am going to the Grand Canyon, I need to get a few things first:
-a spare tire
-lots of water
-a good roadmap. etc

I thought it was pretty cool how they mentioned going to the GC in the newspaper today. That was really comforting. Of course, it says to get a lot of friends and go hiking. Well, I'm not much of a hiker, so that might limit the activities I could do, but I just want to get away from the Tucson halo for a little bit.

Still no word on my GRE scores. Maybe I should call. I'll give them 'til Friday and then start hounding.

Spring schedules are up. Crap. I have a conflict. The Engineering class I was supposed to take last year is at the same time as the Engineering class I really wanted to take this year. Maybe I could do summer school and no job? Summer class and a job? I don't know. I'd have to discuss it with Glickenstein.

I think I have enough money in case of any unforseen emergencies. God, I want to go so badly. Hopefully I will. I might get a friend of mine to come along too, but that's pending a few things, namely him not knowing that I want to go to the Grand Canyon and chose to stay sober for lent.

But I still have 5.5 or so hours of lecture before then.
