Exam 4

Exam 4 was today, and I am feeling pretty good about the outcome. The grades aren’t posted yet, but I certainly expect a better outcome than the last exam. At least a B, i hope.

I am feeling more confident in my capabilities in science. It’s kind of funny, since this is the last science class that I will ever have to take and there is only a month left in the semester. My main problem has been taking the time to study. Thinking about this now it seems so trivial. After taking the time to study last night and actually learning the topics, I am kicking myself for not studying more before. It is such a simple notion, and yet when faced with it I find it hard to get in gear.

I know that if I would have studied I would have been capable of getting an A. However, I am sure that this is true for a lot of students, so this all isn’t really that important. Taking the time to reflect though, it seems all to easy.

So after studying I took the online portion of the test and scored a B, the second highest score that I’ve earned on the online portion thus far. Hurray!

If things work well I’ll score a B for my over all grade in the class, then I’ll be finished with my generals. It’s going to be such a big weight lifted from my shoulders. No more courses that don’t relate to my interests in the least bit! No more subjects that I am totally inept at (science)!

The Zoo Story

I finished reading “The Zoo Story” by Edward Albee, which we will discuss in American Literature in tomorrows class. It was a very entertaining story, probably one of the most entertaining that we’ve read all semester. It is actually a play, and has two characters, Jerry and Peter. Peter is a middle aged man who sits at a park bench every Sunday. On this particular Sunday, he meets Peter, a rather goofy man who accosts him with stories of his life and daily adventures. It is clear that there is something seriously wrong with Jerry, but we also discover that there is something wrong with Peter, as well as man king in general.

Tomorrows lecture should clarify all the themes and motives that I am pondering. I am thinking that the theme might have to do with he moral decay of society, of maybe something about isolation and loss of self. I am not sure yet what genre this play belongs to.
