Semester end

[Tac]

Yeah, these teachers I think all make plans, plot and scheme to make the 2 weeks before finals be as stressful as possible.


2.5 weeks ago they gave us the assignment. Bear in mind I only took 3 classes this semester....

Class 1:
1X 10 page essay
1X 5 page essay + in-class presentation

Class 2:
1X 18 page essay. Bastard didnt use the text the entire semester and only 2 weeks before it ends tells us to write 2 page summary on each chapter of the text. $#@$@$  
(his syllabus read: 'summaries due' but not how many or which ones or summaries of what).

Class 3:
1X 5 page essay + in-class presentation
1X 2 page essay

Im all done with them though... and out of coffee and aspirin.

My Daughter stayed up at A&M this past weekend preping for finals. Since her scores are good she only has one to take if I understand correctly.

Oh the pleasures of being gradu-mi-cated.

I get to fly a cross country to a class bravo today . Keep pushing fellas, once you're done and free its quite fun!

I'm almost finished, but it has sucked.  I have one final, and one project to finish for next week.   

[Vudak]

I've had a final every other week for the past six months or so...  CLEP and DSST tests...  Hopefully some employer will see the good in that method...  I'm fairly certain a few won't.

I've also had a few online classes during that time and have a paper due for one in a few weeks.  I like the online format and feel like I've gotten a better education there than in most brick & mortar classrooms.  I think Phoenix grad school is in my future.

"get to..."?  I learned how to fly right in the middle of the San Diego airspace, and now I avoid class B whenever I'm operating VFR.  If already on an IFR flight plan then class B is no big deal, but if VFR it is just a big hassle.  I suppose driving around at 200kts (or more if a waiver is in effect) is partly to blame for it being more of a hassle since it is easy to punch in and out of the layers quicker than expected.  Still, whenever I need to get to an airport in or under Class B I just go IFR and it becomes very easy.  Just gotta know which words to say and have the right charts available, and it is a piece of cake.  They just hand you from controller to controller and either give vectors or tell you to fly a particular procedure and then just let you fly it.  VFR in busy airspace is much harder.

Finals are done. Now on to Christmas break until Jan 9th.

I work at a law school.  Finals start this Saturday.  The Library is full of people who are studying so hard you can almost see the smoke coming out of their ears. 

What makes it more interesting is that at this particular law school, in many of the classes, the final exam counts for 100% of your grade.   

[Banshee7]

Took my last final today.  Now I'm on break until February 2nd

Ahhh it feels good to be exempt.

[Pigslilspaz]

Was just informed today that my teacher for my English class will not accept my final essay for some bs reason and so now I have to retake it. [expletive deleted]. This calls for a pitcher or two of sammy.


EDIT: I cant even say that skuzzy? Seemed harmless enough.

Well it was my first venture into class B. It was exciting and something new. Other than being asked to fly some random altitudes it was neat. Listening to the radios, being "shoulder to shoulder" with the pros. Having jets vectored so close you can read their tail numbers. Tying down next to a gulf stream. Departing during the night and flying over the city, first night landings.

Maybe someday down the line it'll seem like a hassle, but today it was an adventure.
