Just finished my stats midterm. I feel a little uneasy at how "easy" the midterm went. I'm one of those students who really maximize the time alotted to make sure I answered every question as correctly as possible. Of course I'm not always the last person to turn my test in, but usually one of the last few people. This time, however, I was the first. That made me a little nervous. I'm thinking I may have missed a complete section of the test or something. Then again, I looked it over twice. I didn't see anything else. The test was also open book and notes, which was ridiculus. I don't know why the hell those people had their books open. It's not like it could have really helped anyway. It's either you know it or you don't. I guess if they didn't study at all (which is unlikely) then it probably would be even a little helpful. In fairness, at the last second before I turned in my paper, I decided to give in and look to make sure of one question. My answer was right.
If the test was as straightforward and easy as I think it is, I should be in for a nice surprise when we get our test papers back. I just hope I didn't screw that up by missing a page or something. Maybe I didn't follow directions? Maybe we were supposed to answer the opposite?! Ahh. Maybe I took a completely different test? It sure seems that way esp since no one bothered to turn in their paper right after me. I walked really slow too and I put away my things as carefully as possible. That room looked like there was a physics quiz going on. We even had calculators handy and technically you didn't really need it. Man that doesn't feel good. Then again I wouldn't want to rott there making myself freak out waiting for someone to turn in their paper. I was kind of glad to get out, but man, that is not a pleasant feeling when you are that much ahead of everyone else. I mean it's not like the test was freaking hard! I'm serious. Any introductory stats class could have answered that test and passed. Well we shall see. *sigh* The things I do to psych myself out. I decided not to go home immediately after the test since I would be doing something unproductive once I got there. So here I am blogging at the lab. I guess I should get started with my other papers. Maybe that will help me be a little more productive. It sucks when you're all caught up on everything else. It makes you feel like there is crap waiting to happen.
