Aleksandra the Great’s Exploits

I’m taking Calc I, which should be pretty easy since I had a lot of it before. Still, calc was my worst subject in high school, so I’ve been worried about passing it with a sufficient grade. It’s even better that our only grades come from two midterms and the final. The first midterm was Thursday. I studied for probably four hours total (that is so much time compared to my usual studying) Wednesday night, but I didn’t know how to do one (simple) problem, and the chain rule had been giving me a lot of trouble.

So today the professor emailed us the results in a list. I first looked at the score for a person with a very similar NYU ID—F. I almost panicked, but then I realized that the A underneath that score was attached to my ID. Yay! This is silly bragging, I know, but I’m excited. The curve on that test was very reassuring. I could have gotten a C with 55%; passing didn’t even require having half of the answers correct.
