Midterm Completed & Current Reading

Well I have just recently finished my statistics and probability exam. With completion comes the relief of what has been a fairly stressful build up.

It is unfortunate that education has become learning by rote and not something more practical. I would definitely prefer large and challenging assignments that require lots of time instead of a exam which is more based on trying to get you to quickly memorize as much as possible and the write it down in the space of an hour and half or three hours.

As for relaxing afterwards I had a nice meal at the Smack (McDonald's) and then returned home and started my second book by Mercedes Lackey entitled Exile's Valor. I finished the first book Exile's Honor as part of my procrastination technique.

I the first book was well written with a solid main character. It was the first book I have read by Lackey and I have been generally impressed. She has written a large number of other novels set in the same world. I look forward to exploring that world as well as "finding" another author worth reading.
