Wasn't That the Title of Some Alanis Morisette Song?
Isn't it ironic?
I really thought I aced that astronomy midterm last Friday. I mean, I studied for three hours that Thursday night, and even two more hours the day of the freaking test. And then when I actually had the thing in my hands, all I could think about was, "Gee, this is the easiest thing I've ever taken. How is it I feel as though I know all the answers?"
Maybe because I don't.
I guess I should have felt a bit awkward as soon as I got out of the classroom, when I met up with Alex in the hallway. "So, what did you think of the test?" I was cheerful and peppy, blissfully unaware that my stupidity had caught me off guard once again. I should have known it was too good to be true.
"Are you kidding me? That was the hardest thing ever. I didn't have a clue what I was talking about."
Note to self: The next time the smartest guy in the class feels as though he's bombed a test, proceed to panic stage. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Although I have reaffirmed my stupidity, I'm not at a total loss. There's more to life than a flipping astronomy test, and we're only going to end up taking two more before the quarter's over. There isn't any point in stressing myself out like I did last quarter with calculus. I'll get over it. Besides, there's always that final class paper to turn in, and nobody's going to tell me that I can't write a freaking paper. You don't join Power of the Pen because you've got trouble writing papers. We'll suck up to Dr. DePoy a little by appealing to his engineering days at MIT... Maybe by calling it, "Relativity: Not Just Einstein's Best Friend," or something like that.
It had better work.
In other news, I still have a bruise on my butt, and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I sat the wooden arm of a hard chair last Sunday, in case you were wondering, and I spent the rest of the day remembering no to sit sideways. I realized the pain was still there when I fell out of bed trying to answer the phone this morning. What a wake-up call.
