I'm sort of dehaiatused for a week because I've got a week off after exams. I'm not fully there yet (still got 4 exams to write), but the walls are down and the firewalls disabled. For now. Next sunday I'll probably throw them back up, depending on the results. :/
1000101: Basics is Basic Electronics, a class where we learn to bias and design circuits using NPN and PNP transistors, Zener Diodes, LEDs, and rectifier diodes.
Dr_Davenstein: This isn't high school. Everyone who made it to the second term has a story, and none of them are about slackers. This program is hell, it's meant to be hell. At this point, nobody cares that the reason I'm failing is because of a 'good' reason. We're playing for keeps.
Jofers: Before I left the community I was doing 4 hours of studying a day. After I left, it fluctuated, but I ended up peaking at 6-7 in the last week of classes, for several days on a stretch. I was an honor student through high school, but this is a different beast. If I only did 9-5, I'd fail everything.
On the other hand, I'll be able to make absurd amounts of money afterwards if I want to. That's worth something in itself.
tbbq: Most classes I did fairly well on. I managed to get an A in calculus and physics, for example. I got a B+ in project management, 102% in Instruments, something in the mid 90s in IT Essentials, but 54% in circuits and the aforementioned 36% in basics. It's ironic as hell, but the truth is still depressing.
Lachie: Thermodynamics sounds fun. Hope you get to continue it.
DrV: No I wasn't.
Anyway, that's the story. I need to get back to reading about project management. <gags>
