Dec. 13, 21: Routine, Writing Final Exams, Teaching, Chaos Legion Day 6, TV, and Games
[Got early teaching today, but getting started fairly early on today’s post as well…we’ll see how far I can get before I have to get ready to go… Noice! Turns out I was early enough to get a decent post done, yay! 🥳]
Was up a bit early this morning, around four thirty, but fell asleep early enough last night that I got a solid night. That makes three or four in a row, so that really helps.
I woke up thinking about the final exams and getting them ready to print copies before class today. I’d procrastinated on it because I was sure I had one already written from previous semesters. However, once I fired up the computer and started digging through my school files I could only find one copy and looking at it I thought it was too long and overly difficult, so I completely rewrote one from scratch.
Was too busy to do much of the morning routine. Doesn’t matter much anyway since the crypto markets are ugly red pretty much across the board. 😢 I’m getting really close to paying down some of my debt; not quite at risk of getting rekt, but yellower than I like to be. I haven’t made a move yet, but I think I likely will tomorrow [today] especially since they continue to slide.
I did get it done in time to get into work and go in and get them printed. Unfortunately, as I was going in, I realized that I needed to make some changes to the Calc II final as well, so I waited on printing them out and spent the entire afternoon and evening after I got back from teaching rewriting it as well and making sure that the problems were fair and doable.
The drive in was rough and I hit two different backups. 😡 I had left with enough buffer to have a half an hour of spare time before class, but I only had about ten minutes by the time I actually got there, just enough to do my copies.
We went through and did examples of each type of problem on the final. I think it’s thorough, but it is pretty easy (but so long as you know how to do it that’s generally the case)…easy in the sense that I cut out a lot of the extra Algebra and simplifying stuff (that’s time consuming and detail oriented) in favor of testing just the one Calculus skill per question, essentially.
The drive home was easier, but my shoulders were up to my ears at that point and I still had to look at the Calc II final. I honestly didn’t stop from the time I got up to a little after six, but I am ready now for tomorrow and if I’m able to print before class, then for the rest of the semester (the next two days). I suppose that does mean that I can crank up the productivity score a little bit (writing two exams and teaching)! 💪
I didn’t have any time to play Oculus or do any of that today, but I did plop in front of the tube once I got the exam emailed to myself. We put on some Teenage Bounty Hunters, which is generally good, but now they’re all into one of the girls being gay and all the irrelevant propaganda stuff that goes along with that. I’m not really interested in some teenage girl’s sexual preferences, especially when it’s a show about bounty hunting.
Anyway, the stress level had been at about max all day, and I can’t say that Splinterlands helped very much. 😛 I did play through my quest for today, but it was frustrating as hell and I really wanted to rage quit (but didn’t). I was a few steps short of my goal for the day, so I did a bit of moving around to get over the line before collapsing in bed.
Well, nothing changed in terms of how much dShitty income I “should” have gotten (really should have gotten closer to four hundred), but there’s General shittiness and some crises to make sure it’s actually 30% lower, fun right?
I am getting really close now to dropping this CryptoSuckmaster section of my post. It still pisses me off, though, so I haven’t let it go yet.
Nothing too major on Rising Star today, just the usual missions. I did go back and do another of the shorter ones and got a 100 Starbits bonus for doing 25…time to retire! 😛 I still can’t really say that this game has been worth the time, but I’m keeping at it still (and I haven’t sold any Starbits yet either, so that’s a way to maybe get a little income from it, we’ll see).
I played my Splinterlands quest from yesterday and and today. I got them both done, but basically erased all my progress in Gold I. 🤬😭 There’s only a day or so left and I should be in Diamond by this point, but now I have to play to try and avoid the serious suckiness of being reset back to the bottom of Silver I.
Been trying to get my pics of my current status and battles from yesterday, but the site is wicked borked right now and I can’t get in. 😡 Got this far, at least:
Ok rewards for the day, I did get a gold foil, but I can’t help being disappointed missing the extra chests I would have had in Diamond if I’d been able to get there.
Last day of opening Chaos Legion packs. 😭😭 Got a couple more summoners, which is sorta’ helpful, but otherwise one gold and two Epic; mostly just upgrade fodder…four commons and a rare.
