I've got two very important, very difficult exams tomorrow and I'm freaking out over this news a little too much because at this point there's nothing I can do about it. The teacher knows about the depression, acknowledges that I try hard but have zero experience with course content, and has expressed compassion and understanding. She views first semester as an adjustment period and second semester as the proper time to judge whether someone should be in this program or not, which is in my favour. But if I fucked up on my exam today, or if the projects I just handed in don't past muster, and I end up with a mark too far below 60, I'm finished.
Dude, take a breath. How do you think you actually did on the exam?
Hard to say, it was entirely multiple choice. I think I passed it, but not by a lot. Today I submitted 45% of the course work and found out that the stuff I'd submitted prior to today had failed pretty bad. The stuff I handed in today I'd received an extension on, but I'll still lose marks for lateness (with one exception) and I had trouble with the lot of it. The exam itself is worth 15%. A 60% is a passing grade.

You ever get the frying pan real hot and then take a stick of butter and push it down into the pan, melting the stick and creating a pool of bubbling butter which you cook to a golden brown before pouring it into a cup and drinking it?

Me neither.
When I was young, I used to eat hot butter sandwiches.
That's two pieces of bread with melted butter in the middle.
I was a gross kid, but I was not fat.
I don't know how.

That's pretty gross. At least toast the bread so you're eating toast instead of butter sandwiches.

yeah well I ballooned up a year or two later because of some anti-depressant
nobody even fucking told me I might gain weight, so I did abso-fucking-lutely nothing about my dietary habits
I've always found the focus on the bench press as a metric for overall physical fitness to be a little stupid.
Its a lift that's pretty easy to cheat on if you want, its probably one of the least muscle-intensive "major" lifts (compared to, say, squats or deadlifts), and its always like--
"I can bench 200, 250, 300, 400 BRAH! I CAN BENCH 400!"
Well, ok, do you bench to chest in a 5x5? 5-3-1? 3x8? 3x10? 3x12? Bodyweight? 20% over? 10% under?
Not saying its a bad lift or anything, but using it as a central metric for muscular health strikes me as unwise.

Didn't you notice when you started gaining weight, or did you add 50 pounds in a week.

Now I think it actually tastes pretty okay but I hardly ever put butter on my bread. Force of habit.
