psych!

so got the fated exam back... freakin 45%, C+... 3 hours later, driving in my car, i was running back over the comments/points i remembered seeing on the test when i got it back and realized i had a total of 55%, B... not that 55% is stellar, but that's 10% more of the test i actually got right! i know of 1 100, 1 94, 1 58, 2 56s, and a 34, so i'm not completely horrible. doesn't this make you wish you were in math grad school?

dude.

i've realized today that my pizza seminar talk needs to be stellar too since like 50 (actually more like 10) prospective grad students will be around... i'm already nervous about the usual suspects being there (some of the older students like to nitpick details and ask tricky questions), and this is a bunch more people making decisions on coming here next year or not partially based on their visit (part of which will be sitting through my talk!)... duuude, i'm screwed this week.
