MMI Week 6 (Theory 2) DONE!

DONE! FINALLY! We finished up the last Theory class tonight with our final exam and group presentations. My group did ours on exhaust upgrades. No one did a real detailed presentation as we only had 5 minutes but we covered 1 sportbike and 2 cruisers. We had some fun with it and it went over well.

To the information I know everyone is waiting on. We took our weekly exam on Electrical Theory last night and I got a 96 on it. Not too shabby if you ask me. You try to learn electrical theory in 3 days and see if you do better. I'm rather proud of myself.

Our final exam was tonight and let me tell you this, it was NOT easy to remember stuff from 4-6 weeks ago. We have covered a lot of information in that time and I've done a pretty good job of retaining it but it freaks you out a little when you're faced with a test forcing you to remember it. It didn't help that, after a guy from class came over to do some last minute studying today, I fell asleep in my chair at 5pm and woke up at 5:55. I have to be IN the class at 6:20 to keep my perfect attendance status and I live about 10-15 minutes away from the school. Wouldn't you know it, I hit EVERY stoplight and got stuck behind every slow person in Florida. I hit the door to the class with a minute to spare and of course that screwed my head all up. A perfect state of mind to be in right before a big test.

I got a 95 on it. WOHOOOOOOOOO! I had written down every question I had trouble with and/or knew outright that I was guessing on and sure enough, I got all 5 wrong. There was 100 questions on the final as opposed to 50 on the other exams.

After our presentations were all done and we cleaned up the classroom for the last time we got our final grades for the entire Theory 2 class, the last 3 weeks. I wasn't very nervous about passing or even getting a high enough grade to keep my 4.0 status. I was just nervous about how well I did do. I'm being stupid, I know. I just want to my best and score the highest I can and be able to back it up.

I got a 97 in the class!!!!!!!!

I can't say enough how proud I am of that. There's a UFC fight tomorrow night and there's some celebrating to be done. Our ENTIRE class passed and to top it off we averaged over a 90. We all tried to help each other understand stuff and we all made sure everyone had the opportunity to learn. There was more respect in our class, for each other and for the instructor, than in any other in the last 2 1/2 years our instructor has taught there. He also informed us that he was pretty sure that it was the first time at the school, that a theory class had a 4.0 average.
