[7-11] During the beginning of winter 2019, it was nothing really positive or negative that I can really remember about it until finals, because finals always suck. My sister got to visit me where I live. She’s 10, so she’s really small, and was super excited and it was fun to bring her around where I live now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[11-13] Then, when I returned back to school for the Spring semester, nothing really happening for a while. And then we took this test in one of my classes, and it was super sucky and super hard, and I got a horrible grade, and I was really sad about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[31-37] The horrible grade I received on an exam was a take-home exam. It was supposed to take 20 to 30 hours, throughout an entire week. So, everyone worked on it for a bunch of time, and was doing a lot for it. And it was a lot of working out, deriving equations on a piece of paper, and then typing them out into Matlab. And so, I’ve looked back over the exam since then, and the whole reason I got a horrible grade on it was because when I was typing it in incorrectly. I put a negative where it was supposed to be a positive, and it made all of my equations wrong. And so, everything ended up being wrong, and it was really sucky that was such a small mistake, and then I got a really bad grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
