Finals Suck...and so does School

so, after my first day of finals...all i want to do is kill something

today started out with a somewhat difficult computer architecture final...which i thought was ok. then i had a presentation for ece362, which was ok with an exception to the jack-ass who told us "they are selling theirs for $10 and it has a braille display" -> my response so wanted to be "well, they're fucking lying to you because braille displays don't exist for less than $100...but wait! what do i know about any of this shit? i mean, i'm just a lowly engineering student, right? eat shit, fucker!" man, that guy was brutal, totally arrogant, and should be completely shit-canned immediately. [all bold words are stolen from the great Zoss and all that he exudes in greatness in vocabulary strength].

then, to top of my day, i walk into my ece250 - Electronic Device Modeling final thinking it will just be like the two previous finals i've seen...wherein nothing is too complicated and nothing too long. but what the fuck happened there? oh yeah, hardest final i've taken at rose (with minor exception to a certain calculus III final with rickert), and also one of the longest. after approximately 2 hours, my mind was mush with so many diode and BJT and MOSFET examples flowing in my head with a metric shit-ton of algebra cluttering every thought in my head. more or less, i just stammered over the last half of the final for about 1.5 hours and got answers as ridiculous as power gains of 600,000 and voltage gains of 80 (all off by a lot. like, divide by a 100 or so...)...altogether, i can see myself getting an 80 on the final at best...leaving me hardpressed for an "easy" A, but my 4.0 is being tested once again here, and [dare i say it], i'm pretty sure that it's a goner (4 classes working against it...and none of which i've really tried too hard in nor do i really care too much about). even then, i'm game for anything above 3.5 for this quarter and then to finish off rose with about a 3.8-9 would be great.

tomorrow i have an 8am final...this one i haven't studied for at all because i have been railing all the tests like awesome (98 test average), and i honestly can't see myself getting a B in the class...and then there's statistics. fuck. i hate that class with a passion...but i should prevail over all and maybe pull off an A (and the thing that sucks is he gives out +'s at his discression...meaning i probably will get an A or B...because sherman = the devil). oh well. later. i should probably get some rest to revive my brain. wojo out...
