Monday 09/07/2017 (Why do I bother studying for the test again?) Sigh, looks like I’m going to have to take Credit or even a Pass for my Physical Geography class. So I buggered my first test because I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult [It was alright, but I didn’t study so that was fun.]
I then studied yesterday and a bit today. I didn't know everything, but I’m like I’m certain the things I'm shaky won’t come up like defining a Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate.
I’m feeling a little nervous, but think I can do well to rescue my grades to a Distinction at least, get the test. I read the cover page. I shit you not,
Question 1: Define Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate and provide the numerical measure . Well that goes my dreams of recovering this course’s grade.
In the end, I did alright, but the test was asking me stuff I was
weak at. You win some and you lose some.
To make matter worse, I also messed up my last quiz for Physical Modelling and got 8/10 instead of 10/10 because my friend forgot what answers he picked for the multiple choice. Even though they finished before me and I told them to screenshot it as they will forget it. Of course, they don’t trust me and then bam they forget.
Happy thoughts in need.
Here is my breakdown for this week in case your curious, how bad of a week in work you can get a week before SWOTVAC.
-5 minute ‘no powerpoint’ oral presentation with folio on Thursday
-Test on Spatial Information Science on Friday
-Making a map using spatial data from government website by Friday [
Note: Getting data from these sites can be a pain in the ass, in terms of waiting
hours for them to deliver it to you.
2nd Note: You hope that they have the same settings as other data or you must spend
hours getting them to be the same.
3rd Note: If the data is too large, the program used to run it gets really laggy, non-responsive and will then crash and there is nothing you can do about it. Oh did I mention that saving can also cause it to crash as well].
-Finish my last topic exercise for Physical modelling by Friday
-Go to my club’s Annual General Meeting on Friday to get elected on the committee and potentially get people to vote for me to be on the executive committee
Yeah… it probably isn’t too bad in hindsight, but I haven’t reached hindsight yet. So I’ll continue to go back to suffering, freaking out internally, preparing for my presentation and hating how I sound and many more negative feeling things. It will be a fun week for me
