torquillThat was... um. That was hard.
Very seldom have I studied that hard for an exam, sure that it was going to be a killer, and a) studied the right things, b) been exactly right about how difficult it was going to be, and c) been convinced that more studying in the short term probably wouldn't have helped my grade.
I'll pull a B from it, if I'm not mistaken. He may curve it heavily, since I'm virtually certain that -- however bright most of the students here may be -- the median is going to be pretty damn low.
I was afraid he was going to ask us details about random enzymes with no context. I was right.
It wasn't unreasonable, as such... it was just that you had to know your stuff, absolutely, no question. Some people probably did. After four days of studying such details really hard, I didn't. That's the way it goes.
There was only one term I had never heard of in my life, and I tried to wing it. Dunno if the TAs will buy it. *shrug*
Next crisis...
