So, for a design project in the class that I did so horribly in today (electronics), a partner and I had to build a radio receiver and transmitter. Our work was OK, although definitely incomplete. A quote from our results section:
"Because of our problems here, we could not answer some of the questions in this section of the lab, or in the “measuring the approximate bandwidth and threshold sensitivity of the receiver” section. We attempted rebuilding circuit 6; however, we again got no output, either from the antenna or from the function generator."

We wrote 33 pages together.

Our score: 10/10. For 10% of our grade.
Sweet.

With that final though...doesn't make a difference.

So, despite finally being done with school for the time being, I definitely felt pretty down after my test today. It went so terribly. I'll be lucky if I didn't score a 50% and get a "C" in the class.

It really bothers me, because I tried so hard this semester, and I really did so well - yet, my gpa is going to be about the worst I've ever had.
Everything just fell apart. Bah.



Ah, well... I feel better now that it's a little later. I know that I worked hard. I trust in Jesus.

Also, two hours of Smash has soothed me greatly.

Going home will be good, too! I definitely want to see Kristy tonight, although I'm getting back much later than expected.
I do regret missing out on senior week & spending time with my friends who are leaving, somewhat.

The weather today is just perfect. The sky is blue; there is not a cloud in sight. The temperature is slightly cool and when you stand in the sun, you can really appreciate its soft warmth. The breeze is just slight. The birds are chirping and the bees are buzzing.
How....inappropriate.


To use Kai's imagery, my tests are sprouting tentacles and sodomizing me.

Please help.

The first Naruto movie is so good...

I cry every time I see it!



Been studying (not enough, though!).
Also, played ultimate frisbee a fair bit. I need to get more aggressive and better at predicting flight paths in order to improve at that game.


I just want to be done with school!!


Went to confession today - finally! It's been way too long. Ah, it feels good...

Well, I ended up asking my Bioelectric Engineering professor to count my final double, giving me a shot at an "A." He said that if I score a high "A" on the final (95%+), then he'll give me an "A" in the class.

I was half-hoping he'd say no, so I could just take the "B." I think God wants me to strive for excellence, though. Apparently, my professor does, too!
Do I?
Well, I don't "feel" like it sometimes, but in my heart & my head, I do!



On another note, something happened: I am no longer the Case Fencing Club president. Fencing here has been a big commitment for me. I regret not doing a better job; I almost wanted to have leadership longer. I do want to see our club become great - I want to make it great!
I had my chance, though. I was president for two years, and VP the year before that.
The new leadership is looking good. We've got an older guy as president, and a score of Freshmen stepping up.
In particular, there's a new guy who's a great fencer and really intense about improving the club.
The elections went well, too. The positions were fairly contested, and we had a decent turnout - about 13.


Also, senior speeches were last night. They went really long. In general, I wasn't impressed. There just wasn't much in the way of content, for most of them. The overuse of alcohol probably contributed to this. You'd think that might increase the humor, but the guys in this fraternity are funniest when they're thinking clearly. The hilarity was... moderate.
