I had a physics test today. I’ve spent the past few days studying like a madman. Now I am a mad man. I don’t think I did very well on the test, you see. I was really nervous, and there was a lot of pressure. 10 questions in 50 minutes. I think I only had time to do about 6. Some I didn’t know how to do, so I had to guess.

My last physics class was cool because after each test, they would post the answer key online so you would could compare it to your scratch work and see how you did right away. For today’s test, we had to sign and hand in our scratch work, and they’ll be grading the exams and posting the answers tomorrow. I guess they’re trying to prevent cheating.

I feel that I deserve whatever grade I’ll get. I spent as much of the previous 48 hours studying, but it wasn’t enough.

But I do have some good news. My Esperanto club was approved today. We had registered for the 2007-2008 year at the very end of that year — so close, in fact, that we didn’t get all the way through the approval process. Now we are official for the 2008-2009 year. I just need to straighten out a snafu with the name. (Last year we were “The Esperanto Club at the University of Florida,” but for this year, we had to drop the “at the University of Florida” from our name due to new guidelines for student organizations. However, they registered us under the old name, which might get us in trouble. I will have to talk to someone about that.) Pretty soon, we are going to have our first event, I guess. I’ll be sure to tell you all about it.

Well, that’s it for my 989th post, cats and kittens. I’ve got to do homework and also eat and stuff. And then sleep. Enjoy these links.

I don’t know how many times I’ve had to comb through the edit history of a Wikipedia article to see who added a certain bit of vandalism. WikiBlame makes it easy to see who added what to an article.

I never realized it, but my own state of Florida has some weird holidays. Grandmother’s Day is right around the corner!
