I don't know, part of me just doesn't like the idea of final exams. It could be because I am a lazy fuck and I don't want to study. But also, I think it's most ... I don't know, more betterer to have assignments all throughout the semester and evaluate my progress over the 3 months rather than give me one shot to prove that I have learned enough. I hate it when finals are worth more than like 25%. I mean, I think my stats final -- the one that Pappy and Wilson already took, is worth 40%. I have done all my homework and done it well. I did well on the midterm. If I do well on the project, but not on the final, it would mean the difference between an A and a C. That's shittastic in my opinion.

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.
