The last final- yay!

Wednesday. Last final, thank Gods.

Yesterday was my Abnormal Psych final, which was cumulative, but not nearly as horrid as it could've been. I think I finally learned the difference between somataform and psychosomatic, at least enough for the final (I still don't quite get why conversion is somataform, not psychosomatic, but whatever) and a few other things that were bugging me, but the best part is, it's done!

My Geo lab final was last week, and I got a 46 out of 50, which my professor told me was one of the highest grades in my class. (Considering some of my classmates, I'm really not all that surprised.)

And today *cue dramatic music* is the Geo final. Which is not comprehensive, thank Gods, but still could be less than fun. I've got a tough teacher.

But I've studied my ass off, can now tell you anything you never wanted to know about glaciers, deserts, shorelines, groundwater usage, or energy resouces and global warming. (We are SO screwed!) Oh, and all about the half dozen or so cool videos we saw in class since our last exam.

I'll be glad when it's over.

And it's supposed to be 92 today. It was 92 yesterday, too, and horrid. Earlier they said it'd only be 90 today, but apparently they revised the forecast. Bastards...

Have sunscreen- and cane, will travel. Wish me luck! :)

Yay! Glad to hear it's the last final. Boo to the weather.

But then you know me and heat. We detest each other with a passion undying.

Yeah, I'm not really fond of the heat, myself. You'd think I would be used to it by now, since our summers always suck, but I'm never ready for it. On the plus side, not only am I done with my finals (yay!) but it wasn't as horrid out there today. 'Course, I did get home before the hottest part of the day, which I didn't manage to do yesterday...

Well, it's not like I haven't lived in this area most of my life. I still have problems over the summer. I just wish I could move somewhere where it's cool in the summer! It doesn't seem like there's anywhere except extreme places any more that have cool summers.

Yeah, I know what you mean. My geology prof told me summer in Antarctica is pretty cold, maybe we should try that. :)

Yech! Who wants to live at McMurdo? After a while, penguins would get too dull. I want a summer where I can actually like go outside and not have to worry that I'm going to sweat myself to death...

Awww, I like penguins. But you're probably right.

...or freeze my tits off.

Summer of jeans and t-shirts would be good (instead of both making me far too hot and sweaty).

Hahaha yeah, there is that, too.

I hear ya. I've been wearing jeans even though it's disgusting outside, because I have maybe one pair of shorts that fit, and I'm not sure where they are.

[identity profile] leviathanmuse.livejournal.com 2007-05-17 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I look downright ugly in shorts. Never wear them. That's why I need weather where I can wear long pants all year long.

Hurray for last final!

Thanks. I'm definately glad to be done.

Ew. I've gotten stuck with Friday finals a few times, and it's never fun. And now that I'm through with mine, maybe I can actually catch up on my friends list, and find out what's going on with everyone. I've seen a few posts of yours recently, but had to skim past them.

I've been meaning to ask you a question, and I'm just going to do it here before I forget again, which could happen. I seem to remember you telling me that you had some kind of a graphing program that you used in your math classes. I think I'm going to need something like that for next semester, and I was wondering what you could tell me about it. I have this problem with the graphing- I can do it, but mine always come out a little bit 'off' from where they're supposed to be, even when the math is right. I finally realized it's probably some spatial relations thing having to do with me not having any depth preception, and I'm sick of flunking or nearly flunking the graphing stuff or trying to explain to my professors why my graphs look odd. Anyway, that's probably more than enough rambling about my weird math issues, but I'd really appreciate any help here. Thanks!

That's it exactly.

Drat- it probably was the talking calculator you were telling me about. You're not the only one with a mental block on math. Ah well, I'm sure there has to be some kind of program or something out there that can help. I'll just have to Google it sometime before next semester starts. I'd ask my counselor, but you know how helpful those people aren't.
