    I have an easy one on the 20th, then I have four in January. They shouldn't be too difficult except for literature and linguistics. Luckily, I spend less time here than I used to and I've also taken up the habit of studying while travelling via public transport instead of listening to music.

    Good luck to everyone in need! :)

    I only had one exam before christmas - sociology
    So I did some learning, read my notes few times. The problem is, they're FAR from complete.
    Luckily the exam was ABCD choice, so I just guessed over half of the questions ;D Well, in some of them I knew it's one of the two, etc.

    I just found out I scored 4.0 (only 4.5 and 5.0 are better). So I will have easy Christmas ;D
    btw. the scores are given by index numbers, not names - turns out there are only 2 people with higher numbers than me ^^

    So I have been studying for my circuits exam for the past few hours and I think it's time to call it a night. Our exam is going to be all multiple choice questions with no partial credit (which sucks). So there are only two ways I will get a problem wrong - careless error or algebraic error with a Laplace transformation. Can't study away careless errors, and Laplace errors almost fall into the same category. I figure though even if I get a couple problems wrong because of Laplace (I hate that guy) and couple careless errors I should still do ok.

    Wish me luck for tomorrow!!

    Yes always good to check your Monitor.

    I had to go to my Calc final at 7 at night that was annoying. Then the art history was at 7 in the monring. Truly diabolocal

    Circuits went pretty well. I think the only things I could have screwed up were the result of unavoidable careless errors...

    But I'm done!! Christmas break OLE!!!

    I got owned by a couple of my exams, but I did ok in a couple more, and I am pretty sure I did well on at least one of them. It really sucked because I was sick during the week that I did most of my exams, so I couldn't study as much as I wanted to.

    I did well enough on my finals, at least for the most part.

    There was a problem on my calculus exam that I couldn't do because I didn't know the substitution. From what other people said, I gathered that no one got that problem.

    It went something like this:
    find (integral) 1 / (3*sin(x) - 4*cos(x)) dx

    I completely screwed up the Architectural History final, but since I scored well enough on the essays, I passed the class.
    Do not take Architectural History unless you have to.
