I got my thermo exam #2 back yesterday and didn't screw it up as badly as I'd feared: got a 92. On my abstract algebra exam I didn't do as well as I'd hoped: 80. So with roughly half my credits or a little less in my classes, I have a solid A average in thermo, a weak A in real analysis, a high B in abstract algebra and a low A in classical mechanics.

I'm not too worried about real analysis, since there will probably be a massive curve at some point. Thermo I need to work hard to avoid slippage; the material is definitely getting harder. Similarly classical mechanics. There may be a few charity points in abstract algebra coming, but realistically it may hard to avoid an A- or B+. It's very difficult and abstract (surprise!) material that I have a problem generating much interest in, and I'm taking it independent study on top of it.

The Red Sox are currently beating the Cardinals 3-0 in the 4th inning of the 4th (and maybe final) game of the World Series. I can't believe how little fight the Cardinals are putting up. They haven't led at any point in any of the 4 games so far. They haven't threatened in any way.
