Just a quick update (I'm sure this'll please you mum).
I just got finished with this week's chem quiz. Last night I ACTUALLY reviewed the chapter with a friend, and we made note cards! I was SUPER prepared. Come the quiz, I realize my calculator has been sitting on my desk this ENTIRE WEEK.
So here's me, sitting in the chem 105 classroom, infamously known as "the pit," crammed next to someone who is less prepared than me (and that's without my calculator), and I have nothing, literally no resources, to draw on for this problem. So you know what I did? I buckled down and did the entire thing BY HAND. THAT'S RIGHT!
I am ridiculously proud of that. It's not that there was a TON of math, or that the math was even THAT hard, this is chem 105 we're talking about, it's all multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. That's not what I'm proud of. What I'm really proud of was the fact that given this adversity, this key system failure, I could STILL work it through and provide my level best!
Now I'm considering doing math by hand more often...
