And you thought I was going to say "Priceless," didn't you? Well, you'd be wrong. As wrong as I was to think that I could possibly teach myself all this stuff in a weekend.

However, your lilting prose style is very priceless, by which I mean to say I don't pay anything for it but I rather enjoy it.

Maybe you could seduce the administration?

Dude. Did you SERIOUSLY think you could take the test and pass out of that class? Haven't you heard all the people on campus wishing for sweet death to come take them becuase of that particular class?

Maybe you could seduce the TA. I bet you'll be spending a lot of time with that person.

I think I attempted to take the class three times before I actually succeeded in passing it. First time, it was at lunch time with my best friend, so I never went.
The second time it was an 8:00 class, so I never went.
The third time I took it summer term knowing that I could not graduate in August without passing the course. Now that was motivation.

Good luck!

My physical science TA was a goddess.

Am waiting with baited breath to know the results of the exam. My Physical Science teacher was missing a finger and could never get the experiments to work correctly. It was a hoot. I remember skipping it. A lot.

I'm having trouble understanding the comments. We're talking about Physical Science 100, right? The class that's basically a recap of junior-high science classes?

I must be one of the lucky few, because that was the easiest class I've ever taken (HEPE comes in at number 2).

Uh... This post was entitled "results." That means that this was the result of the experiment. I came to this conclusion after about an hour of studying. So there's really nothing more to report...
