Survived (in a manner of speaking) my first exam - Television Cultures. I don't think it went terribly well, though since it only counts for 40% of my grade, and I've done very well on the other 60%, I'd have to have done disastrously not to wind up with something passible in the final equation. I really, really, don't like these types of exams -- lots of questions asking me to explain something "as discussed in lecture," which to me suggests valuing memorization and near-verbatim regurgitation of lecture notes, as opposed to an actual understanding of the underlying concepts. Hopefully I got at least partial credit on most questions, though.
