Northwestern's scoring system is different than UM-D. UM-D tailored the tests so that the avg. would fall around a C on it's own. Northwestern relies on curving the averages at the end and lets students get grades that without curves would pretty much be failing. Here are the results of which I know of:

Well I got my batteries... to return to my room and find my calculator takes AAA batteries. Damn it all.

I studied diligently today but still feel like I could spend so much more time studying. There just isn't enough hours in the day.

This is what happens when I don't update in a while, you get a huge ass update that you won't read because it's too ridiculously long. So you'll read a little and then just skip the rest without commenting. :P ( Read more... )

What's been new at Northwestern the last couple of weeks? Hmmm, not much... oh wait...
Northwestern beat Ohio State! FIRST time since the 70's. They had shirts made and everything. This campus was on fire that Saturday night. I guess they won again on Saturday. Props to Northwestern's team for not sucking. However, the game against Michigan is ( Read more... )

So I finally got my camera cord. A picture of my dorm room is linked. Actually it's only half of it, but that is my side. Our room is symmetric, it works out nice. Whatever, I'm not going to look up how to make it nice and tidy, so you just get a giant link ( Read more... )

Classes finally started. So far they are going alright, but problems have already started to arise. My Modern Algebra class seems managable, mainly because I've already been exposed to the material. So I'll go into this honor's class and have it feel like a regular class. Plus when he was talking today, he mentioned Mathematical Induction and some ( Read more... )

Well, today was not the greatest day. I had to get my classes all situated and it was not fun. It started off with me going to the Physics consouler to declare my major there. The Dean told everyone that we go between 8:30 and noon. I go between 10 and 11 and this guy's office hours don't even start till noon. I E-mailed the guy and have yet to ( Read more... )

So I'm here. Everything has gone very smoothly and I'm actually being social. I am impressed with myself. Reckon I'm not initiating convos (Actually I did today at a Weinberg reception, and we talked for like 30 min. Go me. What didn't come up in the convo though, was what his name was. He shall be labeled "transfer student that commutes") but I'm ( Read more... )

So tonight is my last night here. At 6 a.m. I'll be getting up (though I doubt I'll get much sleep) and leaving my life here in Michigan. Wish me the best.

Yes, I cannot sleep. I decided that it would just be best that I do not go to sleep tonight, because I need to be up at like 11. So I finally started packing my clothes into my blue trunk. I think that's when it finally hit me: I'm moving out of Michigan in 4 days! Fuck! I still feel like I have so many more things I need to do and it's now obvious ( Read more... )
