a personal post

Whoa, it's a personal post! I usually have some commentary on some subject that amused me. But today, I'm going to be even more self-centered and write up something like a journal entry.

So, I finally finished my finals for this semester. All that's left now is the wait until official grades get posted. I had two classes that I was worried about not getting an A in... but the professor in one of them posted up some grades on a web-portal system (which is total crap, and everyone knows it; but for some reason the university bought it and so all the professors have to use it... and everyone hates it). And so I checked it and was saddened because it said my final course average was 85.42. But then I kept reading an email that was sent to everyone and found out that there was another field given that corresponded to letter grade. Then I saw it said 4/5 and I was like, bah foiled. But then I kept reading the email and it said 4 corresponded to A. And I was like....... nowai! So apparently, the class average was totally worse than an 85. (He gives As to the top 10th percentile.. I think?)

So, moral of that story; read through an email to its entirety before clicking on relevant links. It will save you much grief and redemption. That's one of two classes off my mind.
Now the other one is a bit tricky. I figured out that I needed a 94 on the final to get an A. (Yeah I totally bombed the first test, but got over a 100 on the second two tests and I still needed a 94.. that just shows how bad I screwed up the first test).

And so, I actually sat there and tried to figure out my worst case scenario of what questions I got wrong and it turned out to be a 94.4. But there's always stupid mistakes compounded with that worst-case scenario, so only time will tell.

Now that you've read through all that boring stuff... and if you've gotten here, I've got a question to everyone. What's up with the similarities in blog design? More specifically, what's up with the menubar and how it has links to tagboard, profile, posts, archives, links all on SEPARATE pages. Is this some new trend going around? To be honest, it's kind of a pain to go from reading a post to typing a reply in the chatbox... but that's just me being lazy.

Does anyone else feel the same way? Or am I not cool enough to be on the cutting edge of blog trends >.<

Speaking of blog redesign... should I make a new layout too? "All the cool kids are doing it!" It surprised me, but this layout has been around for about a year and a half now...

Still contemplating whether or not I should spend the week of vacation I have on a new design. (That's a lie, I just have no creative talent to make a good looking one in such short notice)

Looks like I left this post in the draft state for too long, now I forget what else I was gonna write. Okay! Time to end the personal post.
Take care in life -nfinite
