Thrawn Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Dearest friends, and people I've never seen before, I have survived my first set of real college tests. Despite being told by my military history professor that he expected us all to fail and that we'd be better off shooting ourselves in the head, I believe I did ok. And by the way, I'm still alive in general.
edlib Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Yikes! Here's a blast from the past! Wow! How've ya been? Where've you been? Yeh,.. we're all still here, from time to time. It's mostly quiet 'round these parts nowadays, though. Good to see you again.
Jem Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 Military? By the way, how did your B.A. go? Did you set any new records in that Atari game (forgot the name, I gave up trying to beat yours...) What's up? How've ya been? Where've you been? Kinda surprised to see you here... it's cool Random smiley for this event:
Thrawn Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 The only military activity I've been doing is playing MOH and BF1942:) I got my IB Diplomma! You needed 24 points total to get it, I wound up with 32. I have no idea how I passed the pyschology test, but I'm not complaining. Studying for those tests, working during the summer, and getting ready for college had basically kept me away for so long. But I have returned once more, glad to see there are still some friendly faces around! Jem, you mean Phoenix? I haven't beaten my own record yet. But then again, I did that record on an actual Atari and not the emulator. Also, I must shamelessly promote a website that I'm a staff member for. http://www.thewiseguys.tk It's great to be back!
Admiral Odin Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 welcome back. (Interesting two people I haven't seen in a long time from these boards pop up today)
Jem Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I have a midterm in 31 hours on Data Structures and I've only studied 1 chapter out of 7. And yes, it is another midterm on Sunday morning. However there is gonna have some kind of fun into it. Daylights saving time is coming up and I'm sure that some students will totally forget about it and arrive an hour late for the midterm. Teehee. (By the way, I was completly unaware of this a few hours ago but was lucky enough to be warned by a friend.)
Keyan Farlander Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Hey Thrawn, great to hear from you. Where are you going to school?
Nute Gunray Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Real college tests are far easier than expected. In fact, I'm doing better at Big State U. than I ever did at community college.
Jem Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Oups I made a mistake, the midterm won't be an hour earlier but an hour later. So... do I get an extra hour of sleeping or an extra one of studying?
Flying Beastie Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Grand Admiral Smurf! You're back! Yay! And this was the first year since living here that I actually wasn't caught flat-footed by the Time-change. Jem, how'd everything go?
Jem Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 It was "meh". It wasn't hard or anything, I just didn't study well. but still, it went ok. Time-Change always creeps behind me and violently kicks my in the arse. EVERY TIME. Even when I thought I was prepared last night it still kicked me. I set my computer clock back an hour but totally forgot that it does it on it's own. So while I was asleep it went back an hour hence back 2 hours from the original time. And OF COURSE my alarm clock is in my computer... I had a backup alarm but it went off a half hour early and I just switched it off, telling myself that I would just sleep some more until my computer alarm went off. which never happened. But, miraculously, I ended up waking up and rushing to Universty. (The fact that one of the buses I have to take is extremly rare on Sunday mornings didn't help the rushing...) Last Midterm next wednesday.
Admiral Odin Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 where I go we don't have midterms only finals. Midterm grades are used only as a reference so students can see how they are doing. When Finals come about the midterm grade is erased.
Flying Beastie Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I have only one class this semester. My midterm is Tuesday afternoon. I'm not even nervous; I'll study tomorrow morning. I'm doing my essay on Sherlock Holmes. Elementary indeed. Then I have two more barely-noticeable quizzes, and the final is a take-home. Could this be any easier?
Jem Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 In my History class I have 1 project, a midterm and a final. They're all take home. Attending class isn't even necessary.
Nute Gunray Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 The best was back in fall 2001, I stopped going to my psych class because of this one girl. I missed like four tests. We were allowed to drop one, so I was down to three tests I missed. My prof let us make up any tests we missed, so on the day of the final, I took four tests. I went from like a 20% in teh class to an 88% in three hours.
Flying Beastie Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Originally posted by Nute Gunray I stopped going to my psych class because of this one girl. I missed like four tests. Whoa. Overreaction.
Nute Gunray Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 There was an unpleasantness in late September and I skipped almost all the classes in October and November.
Gold leader Posted October 29, 2003 Posted October 29, 2003 Sounds more like major suckage to me then.
Thrawn Posted October 29, 2003 Author Posted October 29, 2003 Keyan, I'm at UMCP:) Glad to see tyhere are still some of the people are still around. Changin the time always screws me up too. I'm now waking up at 6:15 instead of 7:15 every morning.
Keyan Farlander Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Well heck, Thrawn, we should get together some time! I'm still there on Tuesdays and Thurdays. We should have lunch or something.
Thrawn Posted November 4, 2003 Author Posted November 4, 2003 Sounds good. We can work it out later. I just noticed that my post count is down to next to nothing. I was 4400 the last time I posted before the long silence. Did my posts get lost in the blackhole of forum updates?
Zargon Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 damn I thought we was rid of you.. dur I mean I better get a refund from Pedro... missed ya buddy? there we go, thats the right one.......
Keyan Farlander Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Sure, Thrawn, shoot me an e-mail at cgraye@glue.umd.edu.
