Day 2... How many days for a habit to form?

I got my history essay back yesterday. We were assigned to write an essay on an assigned topic (mine was "The Tyranny of the Majority), with 2 drafts and a final to be turned in at about 2-week intervals from the beginning of the semester. I got my second draft back yesterday ... 99% and I don't have to turn in a final. Considering I had no idea what I was talking about, I'm pretty impressed with myself! I might be getting this school stuff (second time around is WAY easier)! I just hope my term paper (another essay, but muuuuch longer) impresses him as much as this one did.

Wait... I take back that easier part. Did I mention I had a test in math yesterday? I don't want to mess up my karma and put out there that I completely bombed it, but I have a bad feeling. A couple of my fellow "developmental math" peers and I were discussing our shortcomings this morning before class started. My brain has this thing... which it seems it had the first time I tried algebra many, many moons ago... I have no problem understanding the concept during class and while I'm doing the homework (usually either immediately following class or that same evening). But when I get to the test my brain has moved to another hemisphere (did I mention we take tests every 10 days?!!? ARGH!). Once I finish this blog I'm going to go to my friend google and see what others have to say about this problem. I even did EXTRA work to study. The chapter homework usually consists of about 100 problems, of which we are assigned to do every 4th problem. Last chapter I did every single problem! You'd think it would be hammered into my pea brain (maybe it's pee 'cuz it pours right out... ok, that's kinda icky but I'm leaving it in 'cuz it's kinda funny, too). I'm going to go in and sit with Charlie (my math prof) tomorrow morning before class while he corrects my test. We have fall break starting Thursday and I'll go crazy if I have to wait until next week to see how [poorly] I did.

Oh, and I have my public speaking mid-term tomorrow, too! wahoo buckaroo! Wish me luck...
