Meh, so overall my first round of midterms went pretty well, definitely getting better as the weeks wore on. I am onto my second round of midterms, having just finished Physics today (which I think went ok). Here are some funny things that happened on my first batch of midterms:

Chem 121: Guess the element.

This was the last question on the midterm and I had no idea how to do it. Something was reacted, vacuumed, recrystalized e.t.c and ended up being a white solid. >_<

Starting out I thought… hmmm maybe it is Rubidium it sounds pretty nice.

And then I was like, “Wait no, maybe I should guess Magnesium it is white when it is burnt…”

And then I thought “Nope scrap that let me just guess Calcium, that seems like something that they would put on an exam!!!” and I went with it.

…All three guesses were wrong, hence the red line through my wonderful guessing game, but hey I did get 1 mark for the scribbles up top!… Yaaayy for part marks!!!

Math 100: So this midterm was the one where the average was around 60% with EXTENSIVE scaling. Thank god for scaling, I ended up with an A+ which was nice… but I had massive math fail with one question. We had to use the squeeze theorem to prove that the limit of a function was 1/2. I was rushed for time and each time I found the limit it NOT 1/2!!! Panicking I tried again, nope it wasn’t working. I tried again, nope, nope, nope. Scribble, scribble, scribble. In the end I gave up and just wrote = 1/2 at the bottom, praying that the marker wouldn’t notice my limit calculating fail! Here is the response:

“all limit calculations are wrong!!” (Please note the double exclamation marks, oh no!!). Also note that not only did I get a little mini x for it being wrong, but the little x was not quite severe enough so I got an even larger X on top of the mini x!!! =) =) =)

P.s.: your marker will see EVERYTHING!

Now, onto studying for Math midterm no. 2!!
