"Where are the young men and women of this generation who will hold their lives cheap, and be faithful even unto death, who will lose their lives for Christ’s, flinging them away for love of him?


Where are those who will live dangerously, and be reckless in this service? 


Where are the men of prayer?


Where are the men who count God’s Word of more importance to them than their daily food?


Where are the men who, like Moses of old, commune with God face to face? 


Where are God’s men in this day of God’s power?"

Be with me God...

So, I dropped the class that i got a 43% on the midterm, so now I'm finding more and more free time. For instance, my first class of the day is 11AM now...however, I should keep going to that class because that way I can understand all of the course the next time I take it, but I just have a horrible dedication when I'm not officially enrolled in that class, similar to how I failed at "auditing" classes--I simply can't do it. I tried auditing CHEM102 my freshmen year in high school, and I tried auditing MATH243, both at UD...simply could not do it.

the shiny happy grades are over..

43/100 on my EE midterm

probably going to drop...but it's my major!

sigh...

five stitches on my forehead
fuck.

alliteration.

Context: One of our math quizzes was way to hard, so my math professor scaled it. The total amount of points that one could get was 15, but if anyone got 10 or over, s/he got a 100%. I got an 11/10. My professor asked us to email us if we wanted the extra points.

I emailed him. Here is what I received.

Note: My professor is the most German man, so make sure you read this in a slight German accent.

Hi Richard,

I could do that. But do you really want it? think about it. You are among the top 5 people in the class,

I have no doubt that you'll get an A in 234 which is generally a course that students struggle with. I could give you this point but I would like to tell you that you don't really need it. You have an almost perfect score on all the quizzes of which the average is way below. So, as a teacher I can assure you that it's almost impossible to do better than you and 3-4 other students in class of 70. If you insist on this point I'll give it to you, but if my praise of your performance is sufficient information then let's keep it at 10 (it's 100%). I will leave this decision up to you but you can be certain that you really don't need this point.

All the best,

Dirk Brockmann

This is one of those emails that you expect to receive, but never do (and therefore you never really expect it either. I'll probably ask him for the points after I do poorly on the midterm.

Second Note: I'm not a multi-variable calculus genius! We just haven't had a midterm yet, so it's just been homework and quiz grades. Also, I didn't get 100% on all of them, I got a 9/10 and a 8/10. The averages are around 7/10.

My self confidence in math has been boosted way high, but at the same time I feel like a terrible grade grubber. haha...man
