Took my Comparative Literature final today. There were as many questions as on the midterm (~10 dates, 3 short answer and 1 essay), but I had three hours instead of two like on the midterm, so I think I did better than I did on the midterm. I also didn't miss any dates this time around. I need to score ~95% on the final to get an A in the entire course and I scored 88% on the midterm so we'll see.

Six easy. Took my Theory of Analysis final today. I feel like I did well. There was an extra credit question which I was able to answer and I was not stumped by any questions (unlike last midterm where nobody, including the kid who scored above 99.5% on the first midterms, got problem 5 right.)

Eight easy. Took my Doctrine and Covenants 2 (REL C 325) final today. My professor provided the class with a very detailed study guide and most questions on the exam were straight from the guide. I ended up missing only one or two MC questions -- the written portion still awaits grading.

 Ran into Matt, a writer for an on-campus dating magazine (Two) who I'd met a couple times before. I first met him during the spring term when I was walking and talking with some friends after my World Religions class. He stopped us and asked some questions about dating, intending to use our responses in an article he was writing. As a 15-year old without permission to even group-date, I found the situation extremely amusing.

  I ran into Matt one more time after that, but didn't seen him for the entire Summer term untill I ran into him today.
