(As you can clearly see, this is a very text-heavy and possibly boring blog post. Don’t read it if you have a life.)

I just realized that it’s been a week since I last posted in my blog and ten days since I’ve made a video. I actually intended to post a video on Tuesday, November 8, 2010, which was a day after my most recent video, but I ended up not having enough time on that day. I kept procrastinating until I ended up forgetting about it for a while. The topic of the video was slightly time-based as well – it was a story about daylight savings time. I still want to film and post the video, but I’m not sure when I’ll have enough time to do it.

The main reason I’ve been overly absent online for the past week is because of an upcoming calculus exam. I fell behind on the stuff we were learning, and eventually, I fell so far back that it was hard to seize opportunities to catch up. I have an exam this coming Thursday, and I’m still behind – I’ve been trying to learn calculus like crazy this past week, but it hasn’t been working very well. I’m going to continue this failing effort until Thursday before the exam to try to get as high of a score as possible on the exam, because, even though they’re both horrible, a C is still better than a D.

I’m expecting to be more available website-wise after this Friday. I’ll be spending most of late Thursday night and Friday doing a programming assignment for computer science, which, with respect to the amount of time we were given to do it, I am also behind on. Once I get that out of the way, the only major thing I have left before my Thanksgiving recess is a Spanish exam, but those tend to work out well even without extreme intensive studying. I should also catch up on my reading for botany, which hasn’t gotten any easier – if you happen to remember (or happen to have even seen) the picture of my botany binder from a while back, my binder now is about twice as thick as shown in the picture. I’ll eventually post another picture of how much my binder has grown.

I also noticed that I’m getting really bad at tweeting when I’m posting new blog posts, and I think I’m losing a handful of views on each of my blog posts because of that. I’ll try to remember more often.
