Final exam

Well, I'm bout ready to take this final...I got a 78% on the midterm, but since most of the class was below a satisfactory margin, the professor curved it and I got bumped up to a 91%...I'm sure he'll curve this one too but I'm expecting at least an 85%...We'll see how it goes...I'll check back in with my results! Diesel out

UPDATE: 90%

ZzZz

Just finished two midterms...Brain is beyond fried...Professor Keith Revell for Public Administration is probably the most difficult professor I have yet to enroll for...I've received two A's from him thus far, but avoid him if you can. I have not learned anything worth while compared to the amount of gray hairs I now have due to his courses...His exams are far too difficult and his readings become a drooling bore rather than brain/interest stimulating...Too much material to take it...His exams are probably ranked at graduate level difficulty...He curves the results exponentially every semester...Riddle me this: if the class was actually learning, we wouldn't need ridiculous curves, we would pass with satisfactory grades...So far everyone in my study group has received a 50-62%...I hit 76% tonight...After the curve I'll probably be around a safe 90%+?...Dean's List ain't no joke. Diesel out.

The time is 2:24am EST...Up late sifting through chapter after chapter for two impending midterms...My brain is totally fried. Ended my first week of German Volume Training (GVT) yesterday...In a nutshell, its 10 sets of 10 reps for different muscle groups...IE: 10 sets of 10 reps at 60% of my 1 Rep Max (1RM) on a flat bench press. Was starting to plateau, and GVT was exactly the shock my muscles needed to wake up. Feeling that "good pain" today for sure...Watching a video on urban city design from the late 1950's now, woo hoo...
