Finals Week Is Over

<div class="IPBDescription">feeling the post-test stress relief</div> I just finished a final test in the most messed up, bastardized, stupid class ever imagined. I'm not going to get into specifics, but basically it was the only class I've ever taken where you could honestly expect to only get partial credit for a completely correct answer unless you were psychic and knew what the teacher exactly wanted but had failed to write down.

And now I'm noticing the sensation that I've experienced 4 times before but always seem to forget about.

I call it post-test stress relief.

After spending 2 weeks preparing for an onslaught of inane questions crammed into paper form, I now have a little over 33 hours to do 1 hour's worth of work on a final project and turn it in.

It's such a weird feeling, it's gone beyond the feeling of just wanting to vegetate, it's crossed into the zone of not even really wanting to think. Wanting them to legalize alcohol on campus for the next 24 hours so I can just get smashed while I'm waiting for the weekend parties to start.

meh, I know nobody probably cares. But damn it's nice to be here instead of 2 weeks in the past.

    I know the feeling, and I look forward to feeling it in about 3 days, maybe 4.

    I've got one tomorrow, I think I'll do my take home tomorrow as well. Then after that it's, sit-down-with-3-other-guys-and-code-until-well-after-the-sun-rises day.

    Bleh, courseworks for me. Handed in the first part of my Database Systems Development, and I've since spotted a few mistakes in the conceptual model. It supposedly would take something like ten hours (including time spent on tutorials), but I spent the better half of two weeks constantly taking it apart. I was tweaking it right up to the deadline. I've got to build a prototype on the damn thing now for the second part...let's hope it works, eh? Because if my conceptual model is so screwed that I can't implement it properly, I'm in trouble. A shame, because the Oracle/MySQL side isn't too bad. :/ Man, I can't help but think about it. This always happens - I fret over whether I've done well or not, even if I can't change it. It drives me absolutely crazy.

    Also got to hand in a logbook of experiemnts for Computer Systems and Networking (a subject I can't get my head around), and I've got my Systems Building and Computer Programming coursework to do over the holidays. Programming is okay, since it's just Java at the moment. The Systems Building is another conceptual model that I'll never ever be satisfied with, and never ever get right. :/

    Sorry for the rant. Had to get it out. :|

    wow.

    I just realized that I joined these forums 1 year ago today. Probably in the exact same mental state as I am now from post-test stress relief <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    creepy.

    congrats on getting past the finals

    Makes me wish I was still in school, and actually <i>had</i> finals, just for the post-test relief. There's no such thing as post-work relief.

    That is to say, in short, I hate most of you.
