Finals
 
Well my finals week is coming to a close here at the University of Pittsburgh. :evilgrin: Now I have plenty of time to search for TMNT figures, and figure out what I'm going to do without the DW comic. Any of you college students having finals yet?

Relay 12-10-2003 11:35 PM

My first are on Saturday, but I have two that day. Then one on Monday and one on Tuesday. I've kind of started studying, but I'm usually a day before kind of guy. I don't really care how I do because I'm just ready to be done.

We haven't even started finals yet. :dead:

Those are all coming up next week, as well as final projects that are due.

*Sigh* So much to do. So little time in which to do it. *Sigh*

You have a college that doesn't require final exams? :o

they divide the grades in 5 evalutaions, with different percents of the total grade.

20%,20%15%20%,25%=100%

I'm in it for a Masters, and we hardly get final exams either. Nope. That's undergrad stuff. What we are assigned to do instead is work on a fancy ass final project.

My partner and I are building this database website using Cold Fusion, SQL, and javascript. It's due on Dec. 15... and we're starting to sweat a little. There are still many bugs we have to decode... and the professors have taken a liking to becomng a little SCARCE! :dead:

Mars-Chan 12-11-2003 01:38 PM

HT!!!!!!!!!! :o
Ya'll should really come to the college I'm at. Sure, it's a community college...but, hey....we get the job done. :D

I've always wanted to take criminology. Is it a good class?

Cascadia 12-11-2003 05:15 PM

I loved it.....it is very interesting. some parts, abstract parts, can be boring. But the different types of crime can be very interesting.

finals
 
My finals will be next week...I'm not TOO worried for the classes I'm in now aren't that bad.

HOWEVER, next semester is looking to be much more loaded down... :goofygri:

Dr. Doom 12-12-2003 03:31 AM

I gotta final in about 8 and a half hours.....contemplating whether or not to blow it off, cause I'm pretty much at the point where a perfect grade on the final wouldn't even help me.

*pulling out lighter fluid and matches*

Im in the middle of my American Novel (Lit. Analysis) Essay. I absolutely hate it!

Okay, we read three books, 'Catcher in the Rye', 'The sound and the Fury' and 'Catch-22'. Each main character goes through some sort of rebellion, but does not fully succeed. What WE have to do is decide which one is more succesful than the others, and let me tell you...

catcher in the rye: Virgin in Prep School, Failed four schools, thinks about sex all the time, and doesnt want to truly grow up. His dreamjob is based off some error in a song he heard a kid sing years ago. he supposedly wants to stand in a feild of rye thats Right next to a cliff, watch lil kids playing in it, and catch them before they fall off the edge of the cliff. Weird stuff. In the end, the guy has a mental breakdown and gets instituitionalized.

Catch-22: Think MASH on crack. Its all about an american soldier in an Italian hospital, and is friends with all these weirdoes. He's in the army, but doesnt want to kill anyone, and in the end, he flees to sweden.

The Sound and the fury: Here's a real pearl... Okay, this guy is part of this crumbling southern family during the times before the Civil War. He tries to keep up the old code of honor and morality. Meanwhile, his father doesnt care, he's got a deaf-mute brother, and a sister who's pregnant with "who-knows"s child.
SO, in order to stay in his happy lil world of the southern code, he tells his father that HE is the father of his sister's child! Doesnt this remind you of Jerry Springer?
Well, in the end, realizing his family didnt care about his honor code, he goes out, buys some flatirons and drowns himself in the river.


Do YOU see a successful Rebellion here?!

I have to pick which one is more successful, support my thesis, and write about 5 pages about it! And this isnt even the whole final! We have that next thursday!!!

*bangs head on desk*

Relay 12-12-2003 09:26 AM

I can't say as I've read any of those books, but I'm gonna have to go with the guy in Catcher in the Rye. I mean, that would be the sweetest job ever. Just to stand all day keeping kids from running over a cliff. As long as the pay is good, I'm there! You can cite me as a source and use this in your paper.

Just remember that papers are mostly BS as long as you can find some quotes and stuff to back up your BS. Good luck on it, Machias, and good luck to everyone else taking finals, including myself.

Well, can't say I've read any of those books, and now I will never do so.

But I'd go for Catch-22. I mean, in the end, he does rebel against his "duty" as a solider and goes AWOL. The book also sounds like the least complicated.

Cascadia 12-12-2003 09:52 AM

Monday is my last final at CU. :( at OSU, I have finals again in March.
