Found out that I goofed my phyics midterm. *sulks!* It's so ironic: I'm making unforgivable errors in the subject I think I'm best in. Nothing much I can do about it now though. And Prof. Boggs said not to shoot myself till I saw the grade, so I guess there must be lots of partial credit for that goofed problem. Got my ESPM paper back and am satisfied with what I got though. And therein lies the irony: why am I better at things I possibly detest than those I love? Is it because I know I'm worse at it and pay more attention? Possibly and possibly not. In retrospect I believe that I am unusually careless with physics, but that that doesn't explain the entirety of the mistakes I make. I suspect that part of the cause (of my goofing up) is that the paper is, in a way, designed to trip up those who are careless. A natural tendency to make stupid mistakes is thus exacerbated quite a bit.

grr.
