I think I’ve lost the enthusiasm in studying already. I guess that’s normal, seeing how we’re all so anxious to get this semester over with. You just want to get through it. But this all means that I’m kind of fucked for finals. Or am I?
When I say fucked for things that have to do with marks, it usually means lower than 90. Of course in most cases this is true, if not all. I have 5 exams, all spaced out quite nicely, with reasonable amount of time to study for each (2 days, but honestly, I only use one day to study, fuck my life lol). My only concerns were on the first two: APS111 (bullshit course not even worth explaining, besides the fact I’m getting a 54% in that course) and CIV100 (physics for civil engineering, where everything stays still). APS111 I was actually a tad worried about because it was very well possible for me to fail the course. We also had to hand in an assignment a week ago that was worth 15% of our mark. Of course I did a haphazard job, so I’m expecting around 60% or so. But considering I did get zero somehow, I needed a 60% to pass the course with a 53%. Not bad? right? Wrong, I fucking have no common sense and that course is very subjective. SO this exam, worked my ass off and got through it alright I suppose. But right now I’m shitting balls worrying that I forgot to put my name on the scantron or what not. I’m sure I did… Lol fuck.
CIV100 wasn’t too terrible. Had to be my worst course next to APS111, but exam was much eaiser than our midterm. Despite this fact, I fucked up the first question somehow (lol). Besides that I think it went well. Expecting around… 70% or so. Good enough for me, to be honest.
Then comes Linear Algebra (MAT188), my “best” course. I went in the exam with a 93. Of course this mark is better than all my friends I know lol. But I’m quite positive it’ll see a strong drop, of 8% or so. I barely studied – only a day of doing homework which I haven’t done – and I guess you can say I got cocky. But whatevs. I can’t get honour roll anyways (curse you APS111..), so might as well just do what I can. And the exam itself? Well, it wasn’t so bad actually. I (as well as 99% of the course) couldn’t do this one question (2 part, independent), so I bullshitted on the first part and prayed. Then the last question… nasty question mainly due to A HUGE ROOM FOR ARITHMETIC ERRORS. Accordingly, I’m perdy damn sure I got it wrong somewhere. Oh wells. Overall I’m expecting… around 80% or so. I think that’s more than reasonable. But again, I’m shitting balls right now, going paranoid as to whether or not I wrote my name and std# on it…. fuck me.
So now I have CS (compsci) and Calculus (no not the wussy MAT188 majority of engineering is taking, you guys have it sooooo easy..). Honestly, I’m not going to study for CS, instead I’m going to attend the exam prep session tomorrow and be done with it. Then on Saturday I’m planning on going out to shop for Andrew’s Christmas gift. I think its safe to announce what, since that loser never reads my blog. I’m planning to grab him a Tippmann A5 marker. Yes I know its a bit outdated now, but its still a remarkable thing and its enough for a causual paintballer like him. Hopefully Bass Pro Shop has the kit I want in stocks, trip to Vaughan Mills ~If not, I’ll have to pay the inflated price at Sgt. Splatters. Which I’m not quite looking forward to. Oh well, anything for Andrew. I owe him a lot.
All in all, I’m enjoying school. Nah I’m fucking kidding I’m sick of it. I can really use the break about now…. eh, although I haven’t done much hard work to deserve it. lol.
Here’s to the final week, and hope that I don’t forget to write my name on my exams… eeek, that would SO SUCK.
