Well I failed that exam!

Or so I assume.  But not in the bad way.  The class is ridiculously over my head and I’m going to keep trying to catch up part of the way.  If I have to drop it, I’ll just drop it.  As long as I feel like I’m learning cool stuff and making some kind of movement towards finding a specialty and they’re not taking my stipend away, grad school is going as planned!

Sure gives me empathy with my students, though.  And with my professors.  I at the same time think it’s silly how we’re expected to teach calc just because we know it and think that no one should ever be a student or a teacher without simultaneously filling the other role.
