1212 out.

I have an exam on Thursday. I'm going to go in and bend over so I can get fucking right up the ass. I've read all of what we've covered and I've been doing the homework mostly on time. I've gone to every lecture and I'm still confused. It's so frustrating. I don't know when the last time I read all of a text book was and this semester I've read all of each one of them (by all I mean up to the point we're at). I noticed that it helps. But in geometry it doesn't help enough.

I have a big problem with my prerequisites. This class is way heavy into linear algebra. I passed linear algebra with a B (that I hardly deserved). All we did was row-reduction. That was fine with me because I've never needed lienar algebra. Then I get to geometry and I'm fucking lost. I can follow the book and the notes right up to the linear algebra. Then I get lost trying to find eigenvalues and eigenvectors so I can translate axes and blah blah blah. It's, again, quite frustrating.

The pregresitration guide for the spring was put up yesterday and being the dork that I am, looking at it was one of the first things I did when I got up. I also looked at my degree audit. There's a little thing that says how many credits I have to finish and it says 65. I have 3 semesters left and I'm no math major here by 65/3 is 21.67. That's two 22 credit semesters and a 21 credit one. What the fuck? And that's just gen eds and classes to finish my major. I also have STEP requirements that aren't even on there. I'm going to be here fucking forever. Then I realized that that number doesn't include the credits I'm doing right now and the ones that I have an incomplete in (from this summer). That brings it down to 50. And that's like 3 17 credit semesters. Then I also found out that I'll be done with my major and gen eds in less than 50 credits, actually only 30 or 33, so The other 20 can be used for STEP so I will get out of here at the end of next year as planned. Thank God. It was so stressful and disappointing to think I'd be here for another year.

I have 6 gen ends left to take, 18 credits. That's an entire semester of gen eds left to do. Bah. Anyone take any good gen eds? I need everything but a PS, a BS, and R1 and R2 of course. I need history, literature, arts, interdiciplinary, and diversity. BAH. I don't want to be a well rounded person!

I want to learn Spanish.

I don't think proper is a bad thing, but for our age, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing either. I don't know too many guys that are proper, but if I had to pick any, it would probably be Pappy. Take it to mean something close to old. Then it's an insult.

1212 Out.

Anyway.. yes, the Physics exam. I didn't cheat on it, and therefor I was punished. Bah. I am not out of the running yet though.. there is still the final. I think I learned a lesson.. cheating is the way to go. I don't even know how Levres did what she did, but its pretty zany.

I was more prepared for this physics exam than any other exam I have had in physics, yet my grade is lower than any other physics exam I've taken. Why? I went through my answers with teh answer key and I got fucked with my close-call answers.. like, depending on the formula I get answer B or answer D.. I bubbled in the wrong one in every instance where it came down to choosing between two then. Also, some of the early ones I thought were cake because I recognized them from reading the classtalk answers earlier that day.............. well, I fucking must have remembered wrong because I got those wrong too.

Ah well.

As long as I get a C or better on everything else, I am happy. It's sad how much I want to just get a C.. I really don't care for higher. I hate my major, but love school (which is why I am still here). My major sucks because of the smelly assholes in the major.

I want to go to the beach.

Bah. In other news, I took the physics exam and by some miracle, some divine fucking intervention, I got an 87, possibly a 91. (Is it blasphemous to use the modifier "fucking" with the phrase "divine intervention"?) Anyhow, by divine intervention, I mean that I learned to cheat well. I have learned nothing more than how to cheat the system and get a good grade and learn nothing. Ha ha. I showed you!

Yes yes, college, pursuit of knowledge, I've only really cheated myself. I know all this and unfortunately I don't give a rat's poop. If I can get out of this with a BC or even a B, that would be fucking fantastic. If I can't and I have to retake it, I'll learn it then.

So I'll bore you now with some discussion about my grade and why I'm a little pissed that I did so well on this exam. See, if I had failed this last exam miserably like I did with the other two exams, I would know that I can't do well for the semester so I would know I'd have to retake the class and I could just skip the final. Now, however, there is a possibility that if I do well enough, he'll drop one of my bad grades, and the rest (two exams, classtalk, and owls) will average out to a B. So now, I really have no justification for not taking the final. Argh. I just wanted to be done with school!

Can anyone teach me microeconomics before Saturday at 10:30. Hmm, I should learn that. Damn, 8:00 am classes suck shit. I don't know what I was thinking...

In other news, I have found that I can mix alcohol with my medication if I only drink 1 bitch beer. 1 (or 2) of my happy pills + 1 bitch beer (Mike's) = happy little tipsy feeling. This is a new thing for me since I used to get heartburn and a belly ache before getting any buzz from drinking, now 1 beer is good for me.

Wait wait, nevermind, this was supposed to be about school. Yes, finals suck and I don't want to take them. I'd rather do my homework all semester and take chapter tests or quizzes or whatever.

In the math class that I am a TA for, there are three exams and the final, all weighted equally. There is homework for every night that counts for absolutely nothing. Attendance gives you 2 bonus points if you miss less than three classes. So you have 3 bad nights in the entire semester and you could fail math. Whether you pass or fail is all dependent on 4 exams. Three months work could be for nothing if you don't do well on the exams. That sucks.

Life is unfair, wah wah.

Speaking of unfair, Pappy busted his balls doing the physics Owl homework and everything and thought he'd do well on the exam. I mean he even read part of the book, read part of the book! I didn't even buy the damned thing. He worked relatively hard and it didn't pay off as well as it should. I did nothing but cheat in any way that I could think of, and I did better. That's hardly fair.

For any of you that still have finals left, I feel your pain and I wish you luck. For those of you who are already done, eat poop. For those of you just starting a new summer semester or something, I'll feel your pain in about 2 weeks when I start mine.

1212 Out.

Ya' know... it's a goddamn shame that school force these bullshit GenEd requirements on us. I mean, I'm not going to be a better person for taking these classes. These classes are not going to help me in my future vocation. So instead of staying at home, earning money, and chillin' with my boyz, I have to keep hemmoraging money to this shit heel university... DAMMIT!

Till All Are One...

LioConvoy out...

The exam wasn't bad.. the first part was sort of weird because there was a question that turned into more of a trick question that the professor thought was simple... whatever. It's done with.

Next week I have more exams... AI, OS, one more Physics, and my chinese history final. I haven't had this many finals in a looong time.

I am in the edlab now, but I think i'm going to leave soon because it's farking cold in here. Really chilly.. only after I write the thing for my stats project will I leave though.
