Test One, over and done!

[trinityvixen]

I think I got most of the things right on my test. I have no way of reading my professor, though. It seems like I never intuit which of any hundreds of things you could say about a given process that he wants in a question. And there's no way to ask without him having to give away half the answer. So I tried to write absolutely everything, even though there wasn't space for it. I'm hoping I did well. I didn't really have too many questions that utterly stumped me. Maybe that will balance out the stuff that I wasn't sure about going into detail on.

I still have a take-home portion of the test to do. This kills me. I can't be done with my stupid exam while I've got part of it left. Why couldn't he just shoe-horn in more questions? Or, I dunno, take some out to make room for the take home stuff? Blargh.

Anyway, I finally have a bit of time again to do all the stuff I've put off for studying this past week, including the answers to this meme.

Only two went unguessed. Well done to one and all. I think these were mostly pretty obvious, though the "pick your favorite line" part of the meme did make it a little tricky. Also, I apologize for that line from "Changes." No one understands half what David Bowie says anyway. It could have been worse? It could have been Eddie Vedder?

(By the by, I gave up on that points system since I seem to have been outvoted on what Three Dog Night actually called that song that they performed. So, whatever, everyone's a winner.)

I protest you not giving me credit for I Can See Clearly Now. YOU WANT ME TO SING THE WHOLE SONG FOR YOU? HUH? HUH??? (And we can get jethrien to sing the duet...)

Relax, you. I'm sure I just spaced on copying over everybody's answer. I kind of lost interest halfway through in copying over who guessed what. So relax, I'm sure you got it. I know that you know, and now you know that I know that you know. And that is what matters.
