*does the Ewok dance of joy*

I have never been so happy to see a D in my life. :p I was really dreading getting ORganic back today, but I OMG PASSED IT! Actually, I did better on this one than on the first. There was a 3 point curve, but before that I still did 0.5 better than last time. And this one is worth more. So I actually improved my standing in the class from a D- to a D. Now if I do well enough on the final (actually, around a C assuming I have about 75% in the labs) I can get the prereq WITHOUT special permission. I may still switch Organic IV for a fourth year course next semester so that I can take it next year with Not Langler, because he officially has his sabbatical next year. Plus, swapping Organic IV out for a fourth year class would get me down to three labs a week instead of four, which would be kinda nice, especially with G&G being the way it is.

Yes, I DO realize how sad it is that I'm this happy about a D. But frankly, I don't care. Hi Delirium! I'm quite in your realm right now! :p

Basically the thing that made the BIG difference is that I got ten points on the last question. I figured I'd get none, because I only wrote one vague sentence about "Wrong stereochem". From the way he was talking, most people didn't say that the stereochemistry was the issue. I'm guessing he was so happy to see that I knew the stereochem was the reason that he gave me full points for that part of the question even though I didn't even TRY to explain why it was wrong. :p I'm not complaining. I also got 6.5/20 on the mechanism when I was expecting about 3/20. :p

So yeah, D less than ideal, but I DON'T CARE. I'M STILL MARGINALLY PASSING THE COURSE! :p

There are six classes (well, five now) left. That means there can't be much new material. That means I have time to better learn the OLD material before the final on December 6.

I might just pull this off. :p

Yay for passing!

*has actual time to celebrate since I'm not late for a class right now...and thus joins in the Ewok Dance*

Very exciting. This is why I kept saying don't worry too much about the mark on the midterm until you actually GET the mark. Because sometimes you do better than you thought (and sometimes you do worse, but you usually have to think you did somewhat well on it for that).

[yubsie]

At least it got to be a happy surprise and not a kick in the stomach surprise. :p

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Kicks in the stomach are bad ;_;

[yubsie]

Yeah, they tend to hurt.

Hooray for passing!

[yubsie]

:D

[helplessdancer.livejournal.com]

Yay for Yubsie!!!!!

And I love that song, btw. Behind Blue Eyes, I mean.

[yubsie]

It's a great song. :D The version by The Who is so awesome.

[helplessdancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, The Who version's the best. The cover's okay, but I still prefer the original. :p

[yubsie]

The cover cuts the best verse. Which is why it wasn't even CONSIDERED for the soundtrack I used it on. :p

[helplessdancer.livejournal.com]

Exactly! I was singing along to the new version and was all ready to breakout the whole rock-and-roll verse but nooooo... what did we get? Some thing spelling thingy. :(

:p

[yubsie]

The verse of AWESOME is half the reason I CHOSE the song for the character I did.

I heard the cover first, as part of a soundtrack. Then I found the original and was suddenly angry at the cover. :p

[melonriel.livejournal.com]

Yay for passing! I felt the same way about Discrete, though I ended up with a C... probably because the prof had pity on me or something. :p Either that or there was a MASSIVE curve. :p

[yubsie]

MASSIVE curves are teh win. :p

[apostrophet.livejournal.com]

Yay for passing!

[yubsie]

Passing makes me a happy Ewok. :p
