Analysis midterm

Well, that was mildly discouraging, given how much I studied for it. I didn't come close to finishing the thing, even- started the last problem having skipped two pieces of earlier ones, and barely had time to dash down an idea of how I would solve it before we had to hand the papers in.

What's really disappointing is, I do still feel as if I have grasped the relevant concepts for this unit. After five or six days on it, I was actually able to parse all three chapters and their homework assignments. And yet, I have probably still failed this test.

It would be frustrating, if I let it. As it is I just don't have the time to be frustrated over this class any more than I already have been- particularily now, when there's nothing more I can actually do.

Sounds like the reverse of what happened when I took Numerical Algorithms without having (ever) learned linear algebra. I don't know how I passed that class, honestly, as every test and homework was mindless fevered scribbling.

They're both pretty frustrating experiences.
