I HATE tests and other school rantings

Ok, so I just finished my last class session of the semester and now only have the final exam to look forward to. I see a few problems with this.

1. The final is next Thursday (some of you are thinking "nice a week to study"), well its at 7:30 am --who in Hell schedules these things?
2. I am not sure what to expect, we only had 1 homework since the last exam and it was on the material of the last exam.
3. That brought the HW total to 3 for the semester.
4. ~50% of the new material is not in the book and I think it will comprise 60% of the final exam at least.
5. The prof is an off campus Sandia guy, he is really cool, but there is really only e-mail communication, which can make it hard to have questions answered.

So here I sit in my little room in the basement with a machine worth roughly 25 times my yearly pay here. It just received an upgrade that was nearly 7 times my annual pay. BAH!!! that is all I have to say. I guess the upside to the job is that I am getting a free trip to Greece this summer to go to a conference and present some of my research. I also think this will be a great opportunity to see what research is being done elsewhere and maybe give me some ideas about what will go into my thesis.


Update: A in the class...BAMM!!!
