I would have said I was feeling better, but I see now that it was just the alcohol, soda water, and such that was likely just coating my throat. Anyway, I managed to make a decent choice for dinner (a chicken wrap with the ranch dressing swapped out for salsa, and dressing on the side for the salad… instead of the fries). Possibly a little less alcohol might have been a better choice, but what the hell. With not drinking at the college I could stick to Jack Daniels on the rocks. A far better caloric choice than beer.

We were all a little pissed off with our test marks from Wednesday’s test. I dropped from 80% (on the first) to 76%, and I really did feel, as others did, that I had a better handle on the content for this test. I’m not sure from a preparation standpoint what I could have done better. There were a few people sitting mid-70s that didn’t pass (60% is a pass). Although, having said that my overall standing is lower, so not everyone did poorly. I’d probably be a little less disappointed if it was lower for everyone.

The positive news is that I’m sitting 58/60 with a better mark on the Tuesday test. And the teacher (who with his wife) joined us tonight let it slip (after seeing who was there) that he would give us the option to skip the final and take the mark we currently have. He said he would discuss it closer to the time, and I have to confirm that this will include the attendance bonus (which I’ve factored in there). ie. at 53/60 I might write the exam and take my chances (since that would automatically add whatever I get out of 40 + 5).

I think I’m going to call it a night, so I’ll just add my food now (although I should go get my snack.
