My ramblings...

My torture is now over. All of my finals have been completed and now I await the outcome. Am I destined to say on academic probation and struggle one last semester to remove this status or do I prevail? At this point only time will tell. I get asked time and time again how I think I did? I really have no clue. There is no direct indicator as to weather I have completed my test successfully. Most of the test I take are designed in such a way that unless you have a complete understanding of the material forwards and backwards and can speed write you typically don’t finish in the allotted time frame. This class micro processors (uP) was a two hour test. At 15 minutes prior to time, the instructor asked if we were close. It was an overwhelming NO! So, he extended it another 15 minutes. As this deadline approached and the fact that he had only received one or two test (out of about 100 students) he extended it another 15 minutes. This was the drop dead time and most of the students were still sitting there or like me were tired of staring at the same problem and just got up and turned in their papers to beat the mad rush as the instructor calls time. Does this comfort me, well yes to some degree. But, the fact that this test only had 11 problems, and I had trouble with the largest one (4 pages) which will also count the largest percentage of the grade. This instructor hopes to have the grades posted by Friday. If they don’t get posted by then it will be Monday night before I can find out my grades. This was my last test, the first one this morning just didn’t go very good. I am hoping for massive partial credit. This will be the only way I survive the test. Three problems, to be completed in one hour fifteen minutes. I had an answer for all of the problems or at least a good start towards the solution. But, I also had the most riding on that test. Now we wait…

To catch you up on the happenings I had to deal with while trying to study. I got a wink the other day on my profile. It was from a GAY man, but I got a wink! WTF!!! I hit the roof, I was encouraged to update my profile and emphasize the fact that I am seeking FEMALES not MALES! Not much else has developed on that front so far, I am working on updating my info so I seem more appealing. Thus far though no hits. I am suppose to be on vacation as of 0700 hrs this morning, but because I seem to such a popular and ‘necessary’ person I will end up working most of this next week. I have got about a thousand and one things that I would like to get done before school starts back up. I know that I won’t even get a quarter of them done but I can always try right.

I know I said it would be a long post tonight but I for some reason have lost the urge to type. I think I am going to close, maybe I will go to bed early.
