should i just give up

<p>

</p>

<p>i’m gonna give it a good effort tomorrow hahaha</p>

<p>flutterfly - i try to understand mastering physics problems too, and i think i get it. but then come exam time, my mind is just blown.</p>

<p>chao…you’re right. 1 semester doesn’t really count for much but my streak from the past 4 (not all at cal) has been ruined!!! (well that’s what’s most likely going to happen)</p>

<p>I seem to only like Cal when I do well on exams :D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yeah not so much :frowning: </p>

<p>but common chao…you really liked fajans as a prof? </p>

<p>he doesn’t actually solve any problems, his lectures consist of meaningless demos (that don’t work), mastering physics was garbage, GSI’s don’t have much communication with him, he left out one section completely, i could go on …the only positive thing I can say about the class is that it is organized well on bspace (and that’s not saying much)</p>

<p>very nice anon, i have a similar streak as well except i have some A-'s here and there. like yours, it’s getting broken after this semester. -_- 4 science classes and morning classes M-Th, ■■■. at least it’s almost over.</p>

<p>edit: dude anon don’t you sometimes hate having all A’s? i’ve been anguishing the past few days cuz my GPA is going to just PLUMMET with the introduction of possibly 2 B+'s this semester, i did the calculations and everything. :(</p>

<p>you can’t possibly be fretting over not having straight As now. I’ve only had them once out of the past 4 years.</p>

<p>well it’s a lot of stress dude, cuz getting anything lower really just kills you. like if i get 2 B+'s this semester (which I probably will judging from things) it decreases by 0.14 or something like that, which is so huge. </p>

<p>i’m obviously an obsessive gradewhore, lols.</p>

<p>Chem Exam 7 hr 20 min…you guys good to go?</p>

<p>my back is seriously hurting from the high, wobbly tables and plastic chairs at 100 HP. (3 hrs)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What! that’s crazy…</p>

<p>and yea…it feels like I’m on a tightrope</p>

<p>i’ll be up for another 10 hours or so it seems, so want to sleep though. luckily, i have my 200mg caffeine pills next to me. yay.</p>

<p>hey do you know what time bearfacts updates itself?</p>

<p>4-.14=3.86
I’m barely topping a 3.5 including other classes. And with this semester, it’s going down by more than .14.
Updates at like 7 am or 8</p>

<p>“It was even worse for me, having never taken physics in high school.”</p>

<p>That is probably your problem. I’ve had 2 years of physics, 2 of chem, and 1 year of biology in high school. Not that it is at the same level as a Berkeley course, but I wouldn’t want to take physics there without having taken it before. (I would’ve in your situation of course, but it would not be fun).</p>

<p>Yeah. I actually worked hard in physics too, but I just don’t get anything. I go to OH constantly and it’s just not paying off. I mean I get half of MP, but tests are usually nothing like MP (to me at least). I was reading past threads and how Fajans usually uses MP and lecture problems, but that doesn’t seem to be happening as often this semester or something…prolly cuz my lecture made him mad</p>
