Finals Week

If anyone starts singing 'it's the most wonderful time of the year', unless it was sung sarcastically, I will punch them. -__-

The hard thing about my finals is that it's hard to study for them - they're right after the other, with Physics on Wed and Calc on Thurs. :( So I have to study for them simultaneously. The good thing is that I don't have to worry too much about Physics because we get two sheets of notes to take in with us, and I write rull rull small. ;)

The irritating thing about finals, too, is that they're weird times. So on Wed my final is from 4-7p (yes, it's three hours long ;__; ) and on Thursday my final is from 8-11a. Which sucks, really.

So anyway, this is my brief procrastination break. Then it's what may be my last meal for a while unless someone drags me out of my room/complex...

Schedule (Tentative) :
Monday: 
make note sheet for Physics
lunch
finish note sheet for Physics
study math

Tuesday:
writing conference :(
study math
study Physics
study Physics (do practice exam)

Wednesday:
study math
work on GC paper
study physics
panic with those in hall that also take physics
Physics Final
math review session directly after final
study math* (with Kim)**

Thursday:
panic
Calc Exam***
return to room and pack
go to whatever frosh celebration/party thing is happening
start first leg of journey home (go to hotel)
nap
wake up
shower
stay awake@

Friday:
get ready
catch shuttle
start ridiculously long journey home
sleep on plane



*sleeping optional
**'sleeping optional' applies only to me; study time with Kim = crash course in calculus
***possibility of returning to my room in tears
@ I'm not going to really sleep for fear of not waking up in time and thus missing everything...so I'll nap and stay up the entire time so I can hopefully sleep on the plane :/

Well, it's lunch time.

Jya~

Quick Procrastination Break...Thanks Tokes!

In calc, we're doing volumes of graphs. A lot of people are having trouble visualizing the shapes formed by these funky-lookin' graphs, but I'm having a rull-rull easy time. Why? Mechanical Drawing. :D

So now I'm going good in calc right now. I got 10/10s on my past two homeworks 'cause they were on Area and Volumes of Graphs. ;)

Mwahahaha. Now I just have to study limits and implicit differentiation. :(

It's really cold....

I checked the weather forecast today. It's 28 degrees but feels like 17. :(

When I go outside, it's so cold it burns. Literally, burns.

as of 9:25a:

The weather report says 30 degrees, feels like 19, winds from the West between 14 and 24 mph. ;__;

"I wish it would *&%$#@ snow, man..."

My friend Phil said that. And yes, he swore.

We were talking about how ridiculously cold it was. Well, they were and I was shivering. It's down to the 30's almost all day but still no snow except for a few flurries every once in a while, usually early in the morning and late at night.

I wish it would snow. It would make it worth living with this cold. But it doesn't. NOT. HAPPY.

Ugh

Ok. So basically we're an entire lecture behind in math. So the homework due tomorrow is covering a topic we barely mentioned last class. And Professor He is going to take away one of our review sessions (we have two before our final) to finish the last section we would otherwise miss. To make things even better, the book has only a very small section on what we're covering.

The thing that's saving me right now is the fact that Bianca gave me her old Calc workbook from AP Calc in high school. It's sad that I can teach myself better with that book than by listening to Professor He. :/
