Ugh, every moment I am not at work I have spent my time on this one math course.  I don't know if I'd be able to do the next level of mathematics with another course while working full time.  I might have to ask for a reduced work schedule if I ever want to make it to the big leagues.

That being said, I'm pretty stoked on my standings in the class.  I got a 95.9% on my last test, which was second in the class by a 0.5% difference.  I rank third overall grade so far with only 0.6% from the leader.  Some may think it's weird that I use a ranking system relative to others in my class, but being a competitive person, sometimes that secret contest I have with the class leaders helps my drive.  

At a 91.0%, though this next test and the final are going to be detrimental to my success.  I don't get B's.  B's are shameful and I refuse to pay 20 dollars a unit for one .  That means I'll really have to buckle down and prepare for a final that's worth 30% of my grade.

Also, it's such a surprise at the amount of people that still cheat and copy homework/take-home assignments at this level.  You'd think if people had the discipline to get this far, they'd know that they're only f*cking themselves over in the long run.  I guess one day they'll hit a wall where they just don't know enough to go on.  This is all a part of my negative view on many students of modern-day higher education.  They treat it like a glorified vocational school; gotta make money so I gotta pass, gotta pass so I gotta hand in the bare minimum, gotta hand in the bare minimum so I gotta take short cuts.  Put down the dixie cup and get busy.  Your frat brothers will keep your bed warm for ya.
