Almost finals.

Right now I am way in the back of the bottom floor of the University library.

It is the "quiet study area".

I have been here since 9 am, and I have actually been studying the WHOLE TIME. Except for the last couple minutes, where I checked my email. And now I am writing this.

I have been showing biomechanics who is boss.

After our midterm, my biomechanics teacher gave us an opportunity to change the weighting of our final and midterm. We had 3 options:

1. Decrease the weight of the midterm from 25% of our final mark to 15%, and increase the final from 40% to 50%

2. Keep the midterm at 25% and the final at 40%

3. Increase the weight of the midterm to 30% and decrease the weight of the final to 35%

Now, I did quite fine on the midterm. But, I ran out of time and I didn't do one of the questions (there were 11 questions total). The teacher also told us that the final would be the equivalent of 1 and a half midterms in length, but we would get double the amount of time to complete it.

I just couldn't decide what to do. It would obviously be great to raise my mark if I could, but I didn't want to take the risk of hurting it.

Anyways, on the day we had to decide, I circled the first option and handed the paper in. I figured that I probably couldn't do worse because I would have more time.

Sooo, now I have a final worth half of my mark. The last week or two have consisted of intermittent panicking and regret of that hasty decision. However, if I study enough and do better than my midterm, it will totally be worth it.

It just means I may have to spend a few more days lost hidden here in the back of the quiet area in the bottom of the library.
