kiasu, etcetera.

I have just spent around 2 hours trying to solve 2 questions from my prelab exercise.

Most of the two hours (save for the last 2 to 3 minutes when I finally went "AHA!!!! IT IS....") were spent staring at the sheet and flipping through the pages trying to find a clue. Oh, and eating soda crackers dipped in Milo.

The exercise is worth less than 2 marks out of the 10marks of the lab, which in turn is 1 out of 9 labs that account for a total of 5% of my grade. Obviously, a miniscule percentage.
And this entire grade isn't even worth anything, because they don't count Summer Courses in my GPA. In other words, really, all I have to do is pass.

It is 1.22 a.m.

Even I cannot believe myself.

My AHA-moment better be right, or I've just wasted precious time + sleep, for NOTHING.

:( Grr.

[back from lab]

You know what?

I got my aha-moment right.

BUT.

I made a careless mistake elsewhere. Careless as in...

I probably hit the wrong buttons on the calculator.

And you know what else?

I got zero for the 2 questions.

All because somehow that ONE number was wrong.

I've been pushing the buttons on my calculator over and over again,

and I still don't know how I came up with what I did.

BAH. So annoying.
