I learned a very important lesson this morning.
No, not 5 cups of coffee will make you pee the equilivant of 10 cups of coffee a couple of hours later.. (is there some sort of pee multiplier I dont know about?). My lesson was that for every action, there is a greater and opposite reaction.
"Isn't that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, you ask?
no. that isn't a typo.
Allow me to give you a little back story.. At the end of March of this year, I was pulled over by a cop on my way to school for speeding. 84 in a 60. ouch. that's a $115 fine with 3 demerit points.
I called up the Toronto Court Services telling them I wanted to protest my ticket. (Tip for all of you who get a ticket. PROTEST. EVEN IF YOU ARE TOTALLY GUILTY! 99% of the time you will be let off, or face lower rates.) Anyway, I chose to protest, and they told me my date to protest was April 25th. That's this coming friday, at 10:30am.
Alright, now on to how this has anything to do with action and reaction.
I went in to write my calc exam this morning, as normal as any other day, and I go in and I find out that the exam was moved... to this Friday, at 9:50am.
I tell my prof about my situation, and he offers to give me an assingment (most of which I have already done - it's right out of the text). and if I do this assignment, then he will give me a non-negotiable 78% in his class. Not too shabby, huh? That's a little off from my goal of 100% at the start of the year, but why nitpick?
...considering I would have been going into this exam with a 74%......
