Finals

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

Yep, that time again when college kids across the country pull all nighters, pop adderall, and are generally in a ****ty mood.

So who else is slaving away tonight only to be distracted by ES.

[PokerPacker]

not tonight, but will be soon.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

not tonight, but will be soon.

Supposed to be "dead" week here at WVU, but for me finals has started early, starting with a paper due today. Then a oral exam for spanish and another test on Wednesday.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Paper due tomorrow on stem cells. 1 page down.

Then I got a paper on ethics and the justice system due Wednesday.

Then I got a 10 minute speech I need to give on Wednesday about stem cells.

Throw in like 3 math tests I need to make up, actual final exams in three other classes, and yeah, life sucks.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Of course I go to a community college so I'm probably just being a *****.

[MonkFan8]

These next two weeks are going to suck. Royally.

I don't plan on getting much sleep.

I'm in the middle of a ridiculously convoluted paper on anxiolytic drugs and their effect on rats.

[IONTOP]

Holy crap, finals already? I didn't even know the playoffs had started...

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Don't quit your day job dude.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

Well so far it has taken me about two hours to only write a page and a quarter for a simple 3 page paper tonight.

Freakin Facebook, ES, and internet porn.

I'll be damned if I'm gonna let them suck me. :mad:

good luck y'all on your exams!!! :cheers:

LMAO. That's exactly what it is too. I need an f'n typewriter.

Ugh, I make this stuff so much more complicated then it has to be. I think on the next one I'm just going to sit on the toilet in the bathroom and write it out by hand then come back when I'm done and type it. I'll probably start playing with myself and reading shampoo labels then though. Disaster.

[royallypwned]

Do the papers have to be double-spaced? I'm assuming so, since that is standard. Remember to type single-spaced at first, and then eventually double-space it so you can see how much it grows. Or possibly make the spacing 2.1 or 2.2 lol. ;)

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I rock the 14-point font too. Every little bit helps.

[PresidentClinton07]

Yup im up, studying for three tests tomorrow. Have to wake up at 7. Fun, fun, fun!!!!

F MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I wish someone could just break my t.v and laptop so I can stop procrastinating.

Haha, at least I was able to turn off my TV and keep it off. Not like there is anything good on right now anyway.

Woohoo, two whole pages done now. The rest I can probably bull**** and be fine.

[IONTOP]

Also here's a tip... Go to Find & replace... In the Find put "." and in the replace put "." but make the replacement one a larger font by like 2 or 4 points... Nothing noticeable but it adds length

Virginia-VA Tech is replaying on ESPN right now. ;)

good luck y'all on your exams!!! :cheers:LOL, I knew you would respond to that as soon as I hit submit ;)

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

Virginia-VA Tech is replaying on ESPN right now. ;)

Dude don't tell me your also a fan of one of those teams. A cowgirls and hokie fan?

:puke:

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

LOL, I swear to God that's what I've been watching for the last 20 minutes.

[royallypwned]

haha, I see everything. :cool:

http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/lol.gif nah, I'm just a huge Georgia fan. I just wanted to see your reaction. :silly:

yeah, it's been on in the background. I'm half-watching it, and half doing stuff I actually need to do.

[Toe Jam]

School is overrated, bitches.

It's all good, but how'd you like that spanking we put on you in the Sugar Bowl a few years? ;)

[royallypwned]

:(

I remember that...I remember that WV nearly blew a 28 point lead and barely hung on. ;) But at least UGA took out their wrath on VA Tech in their bowl game the next year, and especially on Hawaii when they were in the Sugar Bowl again last year. Silly BCS noobs. :D

[PokerPacker]

not when the teachers are smart enough to specify 12-point font and specify the margins.

[Toe Jam]

All I know is that VT or BC are screwed when they get to a BCS game.

Hokie Hokie Hokie, Hi!

[StJoe4Life]

I still have a week of classes left. Most of my papers were due before Thanksgiving though!

[Slacky McSlackAss]

Got another week before I start worrying about tests and papers.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Either will play Cinci. Hardly "screwed" by Cinci

As for you all, man it sucks. I got done with my masters last spring, so no finals for me, bitches!

[Reic]

I have finals next week, and have not had to type a single paper this semester.

Next semester will be different.

Chem/Chem lab, Geology/Geo Lab, Marine Biology, Oceanography, Philosophy

[cbeals]

mine start next week

Statics, Physics, and Calc 3 back to back...it's gonna be FUN

[MrBig101]

Next two weeks are mine. Meeeehhhhhhhh! Already had my chem lab one, EZ mode, but the next two weeks are going to blow.

[skinsfan_1215]

Mine are starting up here this week too. I have 2 papers to write, due next week. One of them is just a final copy of a rough draft I already did though. The other is just a series of 6 questions, about 1 page each. Then I've got a final this Saturday, one next week, and one the 15th. Nice and spread out so I don't have to cram so much.


Good luck to everyone with your finals!

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I have a lab paper due tomorrow, so I gotta submit it tonight. Then I have a paper due on the 15th, a test on teh 16th, and 2 on the 17th. FUN FUN FUN!!!!

[skinfan2k]

seriously i never ever pulled an all nighter in college. Honestly, why would you?

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

Just took my first final today, blew by it in 20 minutes. I better get a goddamn A on it.

[Rypien 91]

One class is done. I have a math final Sunday and then a film final next Wed. Then I am free until Jan. WOOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!

[renaissance]

This thread really does not inspire me to write my grad school application essays. :(

[buenosdiaz]

nope haha graduated last year suckers!

i'll make fun of you all this year and you can make fun of me next year (god-willing) when im in law school and the finals will be a billion times worse

[cbeals]

seriously i never ever pulled an all nighter in college. Honestly, why would you?

Me either... i have no clue why you would

[styx491]

Off the top of my head, I know I have finals on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, and a 20 page term paper due on the 10th as well as a 5 page paper for a class and a 12 page for one class on the 10th.

That looks very bad.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Me either... i have no clue why you would

Because we get *****?

[The Sir]

The Sir is a few days away from entering bust ass mode.

[Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers]

Bumping this because of boredom and procrastination.

[PokerPacker]

I've got Digital Signal Processing tomorrow.
Comm the next day
Calc 2 after that
and Western Civ to finish

[Warhead36]

Finals are overrated. I study but I've never had to pull an all-nighter or study more than maybe a couple of hours or so the evening before. And I have over a 3.0 GPA at Mason.

Woo, go Mason!

but on the studying note, I'm sure you're more proactive throughout the semester than I am.

[Warhead36]

I study for regular tests pretty much the same way I study for finals and I have never done assigned reading or any of that garbage.

Maybe I'm just a genius. :cool:

Right now I am finishing up a paper for tomorrow... don't think it will take too long though.

What classes are you taking?

[Warhead36]

What classes are you taking?

PHIL 100, CHEM 103, OM 210, and SOM 301.

OM and SOM will be a bit tough. I don't care about PHIL and will probably pass the class with a C anyway and CHEM is easy.

But even last semester I had three 300 level classes and didn't really have to pull all nighters or do any of the other crazy stuff people do to study for finals. I guess I'm just able to retain information better than some people. :party:

Eww OM 210 with Singer... that class is soooo boring. and that last test sucked. My recitation is Tuesday at 12:40 with Chandra. What about you?

It really depends on the class and how much work you put into it. I didn't put any work into ECON and still crushed the tests because most of it was basic supply/demand or basic human psychology. didn't study for my english classes. didn't study for Discreet Math. Didn't study for CS 211, didn't study for University Physics (though a lot of that was review from high school).

Calc 2 I will be studying for because I never learned it in the class (he spent 45 minutes telling us that 'frustum' was not spelled 'frustrum' one time; basically, class time is a joke) and didn't do any of the homework, hence, I need to learn the stuff I haven't ever learned.

Signal analysis is a ****ing complicated subject. very first thing we learned in that class was that cos(2pi*f*t+phi) = (e^(j*2pi*f*t+phi) + e^(-j*2pi*f*t+phi))/2 where j is an imaginary number, and it hasn't gotten any easier. another class where you don't learn much in class (though this teacher actually explains the subject, but rather through the homework (which I didn't put enough effort into doing).

That equation reminds me of a Laplace transform from Digital Circuits II. That class was a ****ing *****.

I'm gonna be getting into circuits probably next fall. hopefully it'll be more than what I learned in high school physics.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I'm gonna be getting into circuits probably next fall. hopefully it'll be more than what I learned in high school physics.

For the first month or so it is. RLC circuits, Magnetically coupled inductors, Ohms law and the rest. But after that you get in to Laplace transforms, indepth power calculations and some more fun stuff.

I lerned beer

[PokerPacker]

I lerned beer

we can all drink to that.

[cbeals]

one final down, two more to go
