I got a 95%, which is good. If there was a curve, I think I would have set it, but there wasn&#8217;t one because the rest of the class did well as well. Anyway, I would have gotten 99% if I would not have gone over my answers again like they tell you to do. Stupid proper test taking skills. I knew my strategy of finishing as quickly as possible and cockily turning it in w\/o checking what you&#8217;d written was boosting my grades. \ud83d\ude1b I&#8217;m fairly certain I could argue and get it boosted to 97%, but I don&#8217;t really want to. In order to do so I would have to prove to the prof I know more about the biology and physics of membrane potential than she does, and that&#8217;d be unpleasant. \ud83d\ude1b<br \/>My other major accomplishment today, if you consider getting a test back an accomplishment, was photocopying a chapter from my research methods book for my prof. See&#8230; research methods is just a catch all class to allow the profs to do whatever they want and the students to get some credit for it. In my case I&#8217;m reading this book and then going in every week to talk to my professor about what it said and prove that I&#8217;m understanding stuff. He has a copy of the book I&#8217;m reading, but his is an older version, and the chapter we&#8217;re on is all this stuff that nobody knew about 10 years ago. But, the impressive thing is, I figured out how to use the copy machine, and I did it to the extent that I managed to make it print front to back and staple it for me. Only wasted one piece of paper. I am so great.<br \/>In other news I have the song &#8220;Ultimate Showdown&#8221; in my head. It was written and performed by a band called Lemon Demon and is the music to a flash animation with the same name. If you haven&#8217;t seen\/heard it you should google it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ultimateshowdown.org\/\">Wait, nm, I&#8217;ll just link you.<\/a> Anyway, I enjoyed it quite a lot so I found all the other animations with music by Lemon Demon and doing so has enlightened me about the &#8220;Ultimate Showdown&#8221; animation. Earlier Lemon Demon did the music for an animation devoted to portraying the evil of Eric Baumer, the man behind Ebaum&#8217;s World. In that animation a character depicting Eric, and different character depicting some guy who beats up Eric were created. Those characters are inserted into one of the scenes in the &#8220;Ultimate Showdown&#8221; animations. I&#8217;m probably one of the few people who knows who those characters are, but now I&#8217;m sharing my knowledge with everyone who managed to follow this crazy paragraph.<a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1742\/795\/1600\/ultimate%20showdown.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" title=\"Well, I spent way to much time on this.\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/1742\/795\/320\/ultimate%20showdown.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here, I&#8217;ll show you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got my test back from Cognitive Neuroscience.
