[ARCHIVED THREAD] - COLLEGE FINALS!!!! (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 12/12/2005 8:12:10 AM EDT
| done with thermodynamics, currently working on an hour sleep in the last 24 hours. Have two finals tommorow: Data and Software Principles and Computer Architecture. God being an engineering major sucks. One of my friends is bitching about his poli sci final. God I want to smack him. Lots of coffee in my system (currently two large mochas both with extra shots of expresso) and took some dayquill to keep me up even better. I've gone through a pack of cigarettes today already... and here's the best part... I don't smoke! So yea, stress is getting to me already, and I have my two hardest finals tommorow. If I make it through tommorow alive, the rest is all downhill. |
|
You know what pissed me off? When engineers bitch about how hard their classes are! You fucking picked your major. Don't be mad at me because I will make as much or more than you and my classes are easy! Man its tuff going into finals with all A's! Hell in two classes the prof told me to not bother and come to the final, cause I only needed ~a 40% to keep my A's. [nelson] ha ha [/nelson]

I always look forward to finals. It is the best part of the semester for me. Every final I have is comprehensive and covers the entire semester, from day one. It is almost like Christmas. Nothing more exciting that final exams, seriously. Finals are jsut a give and take between the test and the person testing. TRG PS. Of course, since I am a professor, I givethem, not take them. 
|
But my gun smith just called and my FAL is ready
where at? |
I've been sick, so I've slept around 13 hours a day since Friday. So far I've watched the Matrix and the first two LOTR's. No final today or Tuesday. Wednesday is Algebra 1, Thursday is Nazism and Fascism. Gotta love being a freshman history major  Almost forgot, gun show on Saturday.
|
That sucks, where do you go to school!?
Took the CCNA2 practical exam today and I'm pretty sure I aced it; that score should help even out the 70% or so that I'll get on the online test. Got an MCSE final tomorrow night, a statistics final on Friday, and a physics final anytime between now and Saturday.
|
Dude, where at, and in what subject? |
I'll give you a cookie if you can figure it out. It is kind of obvious if you have been here for more than a month.  TRG |
I have been here for more than a month and I had no clue you were even a prof until now. |
I had Eghigian last year for 143, hand always hurt after writing almost a full bluebook for those damn essay tests. |
That's who I have too. Funny guy, but like you said, damn: write a ton. |
Just finished my papers. 20 Page research paper Outline the book (what a lame way to do a class, a 1000 page book outlined,$^#$%@@# professor) 10 Page technology assessment for a publicly traded corporation All this for Information security class. Not to mention the other 30 pages I had to write for humanities 
|
guess. I don't get christmas break because of my senior design stuff. I will be working on our race car over the break. I will be doing stuff like, finishing up other peoples design work, welding, machining, general fab work, and getting funding because the school dosent fund us, they fund staff trips to alaska instead. |
I play dumb. TRG PS. Actually, that's not really a stretch for me...
|
Valley Forge gun show? I'm going to - taking a break from MY history exams. Junior history major here. |
|
I graduated 12 years ago, and still occasionally wake up in a panic because I can't remember what my final exam schedule is, or what room they are in. Here it is, 12 years later, and I'm taking classes towards a different degree. I've had to re-learn how to learn. At least now I'm only taking one class at a time. Oh, and for those of you who didn't know... Biochemistry sucks ass. Required for a chem degree, but the class is more biology than chemistry. |
Yup, I love the Valley Forge show. Always find great deals on ammo. Taking around a good chunk of cash with me, maybe I'll score on a good deal. |
PM sent. |
lol just tell us, cuz i have no idea either. 
|
Oh comon... like you can't score Ritlin/Addies/Dex for like $4 a pop. There are well-established markets for them in every college setting I'm familiar with. Personally I wouldn't go near it. Buying a controlled substance is bad juju (translation: Felony). Plus dumping amphetamines into your system isn't the best idea. Too much Dexadrine combined with a dodgy ticker = more bad juju. - BG EDIT: Tally for the weekend: 4 hours sleep in the last 53 hours, two research papers including a 14 pager in one sitting, one final exam tomorrow. I've been through worse... and I'm certainly not touching that thermodynamics stuff. Give me History any day... just analyze everything from a Marxist/Feminist perspective and you get an A+ stamped on your forehead. |
I hear you. I am thinking about knocking one back after that Acct final I just took and I don't drink! |
|
Yeah, I haven't even been drinking, I have a migrane, I feel like I need to vomit, I am starting to hear things, and I am getting twichy. Why didn't I just join the marines out of high school. I am not trying to whine, but I really feel like shit and needed to vent. |
Check the team forum, I even discuss one of my class assignments. TRG |
|
2 Exams today, aced them both. Didn't need to I had A's already. 2 tomorrow, will be easier than today 1 thursday Damn look at the time, I need to start drinking, its happy hour  Look you either know your material or you do not. Don't worry about what you can control. You can't really control what you can learn because that is what you were supposed to do during the semester. So at this point everything, beyond some useless cramming, is beyond your control, so don't worry. You guys really need to learn how to handle stress. Whats the worse that can happen? You will be executed? |

Currently working on Marketing 502 'final' (Essay, due 9 Tues). 6 pm Tuesday - IEE 572 final 6 pm Thursday - QBA 502 'Managerial decision analysis' final. Those last 2 kinda scare me, but I oughta be able to ace the semester if I do my part. Which means that I'm off to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

All I got was you're a firefighter and you're a professor. Teach fire science?
