Hell Week...

So it begins... The week when all my courses decide to have midterms and make projects do. I'm serious. All 6 of my classes are having an exam or a project due within 7 days... And two of the classes that have projects due this week, have exams next week...

Finished the first exam today... Wouldn't exactly call it finished... About 5 people out of the couple hundred were able to turn their exams in before the last five minutes of class... I was able to get 4 our of the ten answers. I had a good guess on two of them and the remaining for were just guess-and-pray choices...

Here's the kicker. It was a multiple choice, scantron test. No partial credit... Can anyone tell me how a scantron test determines if the person really knows what they are doing or if they are a really good guesser??? To me, it seems like this teacher does not give a crap about us... Nice guy, HORRIBLE teacher...

Here's the other thing. Five mintues after the exam, he posted the solutions. I haven't compaired my answer to the correct ones yet but from what I can tell, things don't look so good. But you know what? I don't care... I can't tell you why but I just don't give a crap about this anymore... I'm gonna finish my schooling, 2.0 or 4.0 either way, and be happy with what I did. I don't ever see myself using diodes and op amps in my job anyway. I see myself using Linux clusters and running gigabit networks in my job...

Plus there is a curve... So if I get 3 out of 10 right, that could easily become a C based on how everyone else did... :\

lol, sorry I have been out of touch lately, school sounds like its taking it toll on you.

Good luck, and try to not get so stressed, it may be important, but stressing makes it harder.

BTW, one of my gaming friends turned me onto a game called NeverWinter Nights. Its an RPG based on AD&D rules, pretty cool. not an MMO but still a good online atmosphere. There are over a thousand user mad mods for it, and they give you the tools they used to create the original mod it comes with, so you can literally do whatever you want with it. the online mods are really fun too, check it out when you have time, probably after ou graduate though.

Again, best of luck to you.
