Tests: Ended Up Right Where I Started
So last Saturday I had the Taekwondo belt test. It was pretty long, but shorter than I thought it would be. Last semester when I tested I had to go home early because Mom and Dad were here, but this time I stayed the whole time. I was almost the last one tested anyways, since they tested the green belts at the same time. Actually, the yellow with green tip was the last, but I was yellow, so I was second to last. After the test, the gang went to Cafe Durant. Ha, I didn’t know that was Cafe Durant, it turns out I had been there before.
Then yesterday I had another test. This was my final for CS161: Computer Security. Overall, it was an easy test, but I was tired because I had to fix the computer that my research group was going to use for the presentation. Did I mention that my presentation was scheduled an hour and a half before my exam? Anyways, because of the fixing of the computer (linux sucks sometimes!) I didn’t get a lot of sleep. That was the problem, because the test was the easy kind, with lots of tricky traps. It’s kind of like the SAT or GRE in that regard. I’m pretty sure I missed easy points here and there for not being thoughtful enough, even though I checked over my answers a million times before I handed it in. Basically, the test was designed for an hour and a half, even though we had 3 hours to finish it. Well, an interesting thing is that this test happened in 1 Leconte. This was the very same lecture hall where I had Physics 7A, my very first class at Berkeley.
I guess I ended up right where I started, after all.
