I&#8217;m not doing as well in algo as I&#8217;d like, and instead of trying hard on this homework assignment or making sure I&#8217;m understanding the concepts well, I&#8217;m just ignoring the problem. I already managed to fail the quiz that we took last week (fail as in <60% fail, not just the \"Oh noes I got a B!!!\" fail). How long until I start failing homeworks?\nIn graphics, I have a lab due on Tuesday and is only about half complete, yet I don't care enough to work on it... not even the thought of failing the class seems to be able to motivate me to do the work. I dunno. I just find the material completely uninteresting, the lectures completely bland, and the class in general to suck.\nAs far as my math courses, I still dislike numerical methods, but whatever... I'm apparently doing well in the class. We have an exam in analysis tomorrow that counts for $large_percentage of our final grade, yet I'm sitting here not studying and not feeling guilty for doing so. I don't know. I failed the first homework for the class (<60% of the points), yet I still don't particularly care.\nThis is a very bad thing. I think I'm going to be in for some rude awakenings when I get midterm grades this semester. Meh.\n\nI dunno. Maybe I should go study for my exam now... and then tomorrow I can work on numerical methods and algo and graphics so I'm not screwed... and then Saturday I get to shoot photos with Everett again, which I think is the only thing I'm ever interested in anymore (photographing). Blah.\n\n<strong>Edit:<\/strong> Okay, so writing this entry seems to have made me care a bit. I don&#8217;t want to fail out this semester. I don&#8217;t even want to fail a single class.
