Nothing sucks more than a math test you haven’t studied enough for. Except maybe a math test you haven’t studied enough for that starts at 8 am. We had our first combo test today. It wasn’t quite as bad as I expected it to be, but it definitely was painful.
Combinatorics is basically advanced counting. You wouldn’t expect it to be as complicated as it is. But when you start talking about strings of length 20 with 4 t’s and distinct beginning and ending letters, it gets kind of tricky.
Of course, I didn’t think it wasn’t necessarily hard, it was just too long. There wasn’t enough time to finish everything to the extent I would have liked. You can tell a test is too long when there’s not that random guy who finishes in 30 minutes and makes you feel like you’re completely retarded.
Luckily, when a test makes you feel down, there’s always a way to make it feel better – IHOP. It’s been a long time since I’ve been, and man did I need it. All the stress goes away when you bite into a fruit filled crepe. Yum, yum.
And on top of that, there’s the mid-season finale of Burn Notice, a show I’ve grown rather fond of. It may have started crappy, but today has ended pretty well.
