arrowwhiskers: (happy fai!)
I am in a ridiculously good mood right now. Which is kind of odd, because I've spent all night thus far forcing español chingado and aeronautics trufax into my poor little brain. And I have no real sleep projected for tonight. But. I don't know, I can't stop smiling. Must be the enormous-ass coffee I drank earlier finally kicking in.

I just got back from spending 7 hours in Ray's room, where I spent most of the time blankly staring at calculations (and whining about it) and reading off pages and pages of Spanish vocabulary while he laughed at me. And when it was about 4AM and I'd had enough, we danced around to RENT songs and he decided that maybe sleep for him would be a Good Plan, so I collected my stuff and scurried back through the cold to my room.

And. Man, I have so much more studying to do, but Santa Fe keeps ringing though my ears, kind of intermingled with a shadow of Bob Marley's "gonna be alright".

I am sure I will not be nearly so cheerful by the time dawn so rudely decides to arrive.

HOLY SHIT FUCKING HELL FUCK WHAT THE MOTHERFUCKING SHIT GODDAMN.

I can honestly say that I have never had such an unfair test in my life. EVER! Even fucking professor fucking Goldman and his motherfucking essay exams on a bazillion things at least I could finish 3/4 of those and feel confident on at least 2/3. Holy SHIT.

I think I failed my aeronautics midterm. Like, not failed as in "oh I didn't get an A or a B". Like...perhaps 37% failed. And that's if I get partial credit. What the HELL?

There was just no time to do any of the problems. He said we didn't need a calculator, but I brought one anyway, and I would say we definitely DID need one. And even WITH a calculator I was writing numbers and scribbling equations faster than I could let my brain think, since even if there had been half the number of problems I still probably would have found myself pressed for time.

My figures made no sense. My units came out negative. And I had no time to figure out *why* because as soon as I had any answer, any answer at all, I had to race on to the next problem with equal abandon. I don't think I got anything right--it's not that I *couldn't*, there was just absolutely no time.

And I feel so cheated! I studied hard, I fucking know about F = ma, and P = F/A and how P1 + ½ρV1² = P2 + ½ρV2² and even L = CL½ρV²S. I can apply them if I had just a little time to think about it. I know about how buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. I desperately want to show that I know it!! But alas.

At least when we were finally out of the classroom, the normally mild-mannered girl sitting next to me had a huge profanity party with herself too, so maybe if we *all* failed, the professor will...idk, realize he was a FUCKING DOUCHE? I'm not too optimistic though. I did REALLY poorly.

It's just disappointing, that's all. I don't think I could have possibly prepared in any way to do better.

At least...I'm pretty sure I did decently on my Spanish exam? -_-;
