And Then There Was One…

Yes, my summer is just within reach…finally! As you will no doubt know (from my previous posts or the countdown on my sidebar), I will be officially done my first year of college at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon! This week hasn’t been as bad as I expected, and to be totally honest, it’s gone by really fast which I’m extremely thankful for. My math test went okay enough I guess, I felt like I did pretty good on most of it with the exception of the last section (simplifying truth tables and boolean expressions…ewww). But overall I think I did pretty well on it, I’d really like to get 80+ on that test, but I’d be happy with anything over a 70 to be honest. My NOS test yesterday is a completely different story; we were supposed to only have 2 hours to write it, but that got changed to 3 hours (as we would have had an hour long class with the same professor immediately after it anyways)…unfortunately, I ended up not finishing the test until around 4:30 (and if you think about how I started at 10:30, that’s a 6 hour test…longest test ever), and I didn’t end up getting out of there until around 5 because I had to mark someone else’s test. It went okay as well and I felt pretty good about it as I was doing it…until I went to test some things and they weren’t working, which is why I spent the next few hours trying to hide my tracks of screwing up somewhere. Still, I think I managed well enough on it and I should hopefully be able to maintain a mark somewhere around the 80 that I had going into it. We did our VB presentation today, which, as you may know, I was probably the most worried about, simply because I didn’t expect the program itself to be done. However, a couple of the guys in our group really stepped up and got their shit together and we managed to pull it off, and it looked pretty damn decent too! Special thanks to Dan for organizing all the shit and to Jimmy for doing a lot of the tough code. You guys really made this project possible, we all owe you hardcore. And tomorrow I’ve got my final databases test which I feel pretty comfortable with; it’s on SQL, queries, forms, reports, and other Access bullshit. But it’s all pretty straightforward stuff, and I feel pretty confident that I’m going to do well (I’m in the low 70’s in that class and it would be really nice to bump that up a few ticks). Either way I really can’t wait until I’m done tomorrow. And that’s not even that half of it…in addition to being all done, my Jilly will be coming up tomorrow afternoon to visit me and spend the night so that she can help move me out on Saturday. I can’t wait, it’ll be like the best congratulations-you’re-done-first-year present ever! (more…)
