And that's the semester...

[The Blue Tory]

With exams in progress or about to begin...

How do you think you did this semester?

Me, I am looking at a 4.0 GPA hopefully, with nothing lower than b+, hence earning me spot on President's list

Wow this semester went by fast...

[hotwire]

I'd like to emphasize the word passing. Oh, and Bellcurve.

[lord_rupert]

Got me an average of 69% so far. Awaiting results of final thesis and four essays, with four more exams to sit next month.

ROO :D

[Dick]

I'd like to emphasize the word passing. Oh, and Bellcurve.
here here!!

[Caz]

Yes, yes, passing is a good thing.

[Medic_Marleau]

Looking to pass........ it's hard to get a good GPA in engineering, so many assignments, so many tests, so many bending moment diagrams....... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *Starts pulling out hair*

May 10th is when i'm done. GGE 1803 Survey camp for Civil and Forestry engineers... good time to be had.

[Insane Power Pilot]

Done April 22...and not a moment to soon. This semester has been a disaster.

[sailor_baby]

I'd like to emphasize the word passing. Oh, and Bellcurve.



i'm looking for a very generous bellcurve...lol......let's hope it all works out.... :D

[HammerOfHope]

3 more exams, baby, 3 more exams!

[sailor_baby]

3 more exams, baby, 3 more exams!


4 for me.......including the dreaded Physics 2 and the crazy calculus exam....

[Insane Power Pilot]

3 for me...I have come to the realization that first year science is easy but second year is really really hard. I am completely braced for the worst...I have application forms to transfer to Arts all filled out and timetables for next year in said faculty that are all worked out. Hey, failing to plan is planning to fail right? Oh the irony... :D

[sailrox]

Don't think Arts is so easy....

I had 3 take exams all due in one week. 2 on Tuesday, one on Thursday. 5000 words EACH, and you have to make it good.

My review sheet for my last, sit down exam?
Here are 15 possible essay questions. There will be 5 on the exam, you will choose 2.

Here are 54 possible deifnitions (you'll write 250 words per def.) There will be 12 on the exam, choose 6.

You have a wekk before the exam. Enjoy.


Trust me, it bites just as much (My classes EACH had 70 pages of reading per class time... That's 10 class times, 70 pages per, that's 700 pages per week.)

[Insane Power Pilot]

Don't think Arts is so easy....

I don't think that...I have taken 4 senior level history courses this year and have done quite well...

[sailrox]

Just checking :)

[jgoguen]

I'd like to emphasize the word passing. Oh, and Bellcurve.Whoever started the bell curve in universities should be given some kind of prize:D That's how I managed to pass calculus first semester;)

[Nitrane]

Well, hopefully I pass all this semester. Ive had horrible attendance. My grandpa was sick and then passed away so I missed a whole load of school. But I should pass. Last exam is tommorrow morning.

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN COLLEGE TOO LONG WHEN...
You actually like doing laundry at home.
Two miles is not too far to walk for a party.
You'd rather clean than study.
"Oh man how did it get so late!" comes out of your mouth at least once a night.
Mom's Meatloaf and potatoes become something you desire, not avoid.
Half the time you don't wake up in your own bed and it seems normal.
You schedule your classes around sleep habits and soap operas.
You know the pizza boy by name.
You go to sleep when it's light and get up when it's dark.
You live for getting mail.
Looking out the window is a form of entertainment.
Prank phone calls become funny again.
You start thinking and sounding like your roommate.
Black lights and highlighters are the coolest things on earth.
Rearranging your room is your favorite pastime.
The weekend lasts from Thursday to Sunday.
------------------------
BEFORE I CAME TO COLLEGE, I WISH I HAD KNOWN...
That it didn't matter how late I scheduled my first class, I'd still sleep through it.
That I could change so much and barely realize it
That you can love a lot of people in a lot of different ways.
No matter how 'cool' you were in high school, no one here cares.
That if you wear polyester everyone will ask why you are so dressed up.
That every clock on campus shows a different time.
That if you were smart in high school, so what? It doesn't matter here.
That I would go to a party the night before a final.
That Labs/Art studios take up more time than all my other classes put together.
That you can know everything and fail a test.
That you can know nothing and ace a test.
That I could get used to almost anything found out about my roommate.
That most of my education would be obtained outside of class.
That friendship is more than getting drunk together.
That I would be one of those people that my parents warned me about
That Sunday is a figment of the world's imagination.
That Psychology is really Biology. That Biology is really Chemistry, that Chemistry is really Physics and that Physics is really Math.
That my parents would become so much smarter in the last few years.
That it's possible to be alone even when friends surround you.
That friends are what make this place worthwhile!

Don't be dismayed at good-byes, a farewell is necessary before we can meet again, and meeting again, after a moment or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.
without friends, college is prison

So, ya know that episode of Undergrads where it is the end of the semester, and everyone is studying and all stressed out, and everyone starts screaming out the window, that is exactly what I feel like doing right now...

Although I'm only first year... I already call them by first name... and when we had class in the portable 5 min walk from main building we drove over to it.

Even though I'm only in first year, I think I'm exhibiting these second year traits....lol.....I dunno if that's good or not though.....lol

[wb256]

Most of my exams were over by the end of March. Profs had to leave early this year, so all I have during the exam period is a history exam on the 23.

20th century world history. If anyone else is taking this, or is a history major and feels the need to type to me about it, add me to your msn, lol.

rudy_311@hotmail.com

[gunzgirl85]

I dunno if im allowed to post in here... :eek: don't kill me! I age out after July!

Im so glad the semester is over!
my last exam is tomorrow morning, and i need a 3.7 for my scholarship and im soo close on the line to get it its heart wrenching!! i had like a 3.56 last semester, :( so close but yet so far

[yipman]

My last exam was this morning. Hopefully, this is truly my last one, as I am otherwise done university. What a struggle it has been for the past 5 years for me!

Now, I just have to worry about moving down to Calgary for work...

[yipman]

I'd like to emphasize the word passing. Oh, and Bellcurve.

The curve is usually a good thing, unless 43% of the class gets 90% or higher in the midterm exam, like one of my 4th year classes (luckily)... At least this curve will actually look like 2 bell curves!

What do you need help with Warren? Anything in particular? That's a pretty broad topic..

[wb256]

I'm pretty sure I'll actually be fine, history's been a huge interest for me ever since I was little.

I don't really have any major problems, but any interesting insights on the origins of world war one, the russian civil war, the great depression, nazi power, genocide in the 20th century, the chinese civil war or the disintegration of the Soviet Union would be great :p

(I know and understand the material, but any interesting trivia or important things less often acknowledged would be great...or just whatever you feel like saying about them, lol).

[hartley_2.0]

it's over, ah ha ha ha ha , wait, now what am i going to do.... *takes up spring condensed course in meteorology* ahhh much better

[Walsh]

I want my semester to end now. I am falling asleep due to boredom already again, even in interesting courses.

[hotwire]

Those were some excellent lists.

I fit into quite a few of those... rather clean that study... did that 3 times in the past 4 days.

[canoe instructor]

Heh, not me. My room is filthy!

[The Blue Tory]

Today's exam was meh... mixed with yay

The true false was horrid!!!

But the Short Answer I cashed in there!

[yipman]

Today's exam was meh... mixed with yay


I know that feeling, but it's all relative...

At least I got a B in a course which I was worried about failing. I guess that just says how much less other people knew than what I did. But I won't complain.

[Flyguy]

Hmmm, 24 APR 04 can't come soon enough...I darn my profs to heck for take-home exams. Most of them have enough sense to just write the exams and leave it to the registrar (see comments below). Granted the Registrar wouldn't know an exam from an application form, at least they can find somewhere for an exam that doesn't change three times like some classes do...

Stupid Saturday exams, now I can't go gliding on Saturday...we hates the Registrar...damnable!

[The Blue Tory]

Marks came on for me at 9am...

just was able to check it now

Winter Semester
GPA = 4.0 (max)
Marks = A, A, A, A, A (*******s ripped me off of the A+!!!)

[gunzgirl85]

Wow our max GPA is 4.3
