Monday and Tuesday were Physics (PM), Chem (AM) and Psych (PM).
Physics is the one test I have in the afternoon. Well, actually it’s two tests, but they’re smaller than regulation AP tests.
Only when I got up to the room and instructions were being read that I realized I was wearing my newer -7.0 diopter lenses. I knew that if I used them, my eyes would start to hurt after the first test section. So I had to swap then on and off. For the first half-hour, I was sitting up straight in my chair. Then, I was nose-to-desk for the rest of it. Toward the end, I began furiously writing equations. My face was so close to the pencil, that I actually hit myself in the eye and had to do the last problem “pirate-style”.
I felt good on Mechanics. It helped that it wasn’t in the early morning hours. By the second test, I was beginning to feel the burn in my eyes, brain and lower spine. By the time I got my other glasses (-5.5 m-1), I was fading out glucose-wise. Electricity and Magnetism didn’t go so well.
Tuesday’s chem exam didn’t start out well, when I missed the turn on Goebbert and kept going. The chem exam was said by many to be easy. I did not find it as such. There were whole letters I left blank for lack of time or suitable BS. And I couldn’t concentrate because of either JY finishing early and glaring at me for the last half-hour or Nicole’s loud sleeping. We got out at 11:40. Joe convinced me to drive him to a Korean supermarket for lunch. Pocky, knockoff Korean corn chips and some sort of bread thing. We then raced back for the Psych exam. Multiple choice? Easy. Had to guess on some of the statistics stuff. But if they standardized with college freshmen, standards are going to be pretty high for a five this year.
After dropping Joe off, I went home, rolled up the windows, ate my Korean chips and joyously screamed my lungs out.
