WOW!!!

Its finally over. I just finished my second and final test(Advanced Thermo), it was a doozy (sp?). 2 hours, 3 problems #1 - 50%, #2 - 30%, #3 - 20%. I would guess that my score on it without a curve will be ~70%. I did all of one - only to find out after class that I worked way to much on it because I did one of the pieces wrong (I spent about 75% of the time on this problem). #2 - a. easy, b. easy, c. what?-skipped it (20% of the time). #3. Stuff that was not on the homework, we covered it near the end. The question was just obscurely stated enough that I didn't get any further than copying a few things out of the notes before the remaining 5% of the time was up.

But, it is over and I did good enough I am sure I should get a B in the class. Now I get to look forward to training people the rest of the week.

A+ and an A-...works for me.

One down, one to go...

Well, Math (Methods of Analysis in Chemical and Nuclear Engineering) is done with. I wasn't able to complete one of the problems on the final, but I only need a 50% on it so I should be good.

Thermo is another story, the test is Wednesday, I need a 90% on it for an A and a 70% for a B in the class. I am sure I will get the B at least, and depending how the rest of the class does I might get an A. Then I will be doing two days of training others to run the machine that I work with (since I am the only one trained on it), then graduation Saturday, and off to my interview in Cali on Sunday.

Then its back to ABQ on the 19th, drive to Silver the 20th, back to ABQ - and up to the cabin - at noon on the 25th, and who knows after that.
