Research paper
Working on a research paper...Topic is police brutality. Obviously Rodney King is the poster child of my entire project! Interviewing people, conducting surveys, and researching past incidents...Coffee, grey hairs, tons of books, lets get to work.

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!

UPDATE: 90%

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.

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...
