Not even sure where to start.(rant)

/post exam rant

I hate exams with 5-10 problems. I often overlook small simple things on exams that I catch immediantly on homeworks.

I just got out of my calculus test and while the test was ridiculously easy for the most part(7 of 9 problems) I somehow let trig identities float out of my head and right after the test saw my mistake and wish I could go back in and fix it.

Here is the mistake:

Find the limit as x goes to zero.

tan 3x

----------- = 1.

tan 4x

which it isn't. the answer is 3/4.

I'm not even going to go into how I got the stupid answer. Lets just put it at sin 3x doesn't equal 3sin x. I should know this. It is simple. But retarded.

That cost me 5 points. I probably lost another 10 for the other trig ident problem.

I'm frustrated because this is the 2nd test where simple math errors have cost me fairly major points.

I slow down and double check my work but still missing things. want to kick face self beat angry.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

For the Empress and the Motherland

I finally got the gluing done after getting generic brand normal freakin original superglue. Gorilla glue foams and takes 30 min to dry. The guy at hobby lobby obviously misunderstood me or was a complete retard. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt seeing as he was dealing with me in full on manic state. So I'm really excited about my new hobby and cannot wait to start priming and painting. For those that play I'm planning on playing mostly with pIrusk to start but eventually fessing up the money for a jack heavy Karchev list. Because jacks are awesome and -nearly- jack warcasters are also awesome. Anyways thats what Dammy is up to. Our blog has wavered a lot in focus from its origional WoW roots but that is life. Right now I'm kinda interested in Cata but not a lot. Without a surplus of interest from Wulfa I'm very unlikely to return to the game. School kicks up next week. Cannot wait. Even with books being as expensive as they are(and yes th...
