Done done done done done.

I just had four finals in four days, but I am done.

Or, okay, I'm done for the next week, because I'm taking 14cu this summer -- survey camp, digital art, and animal physiology. Which should actually be cool, because I'm looking forward to taking those courses, unlike every engineering class ever.

Today's final, the power went out with half an hour left to go. We were writing in a classroom in the engineering building. One thing you have to understand about the engineering building -- it has no windows. NONE. It was absolutely pitch black for about three minutes until the emergency generators came on in the halls, and we had to move the final to the library because it has a skylight, and the power was down for about half an hour.

Reflections upon finals various:

• Campus-wide power outages will happen at the worst of times.


• It is one thing to not provide formulas, even for hydrogeology, which has about seventeen million different ones. It is another to tell the class that all formulas will be provided, and then only give us about half.


• If you think you wrote us a two hour exam, thank you. However, if every single student is still writing at the end of the three hours, your stopping us to say that it's not as hard as we're making it, and that it's actually really quite easy, is not helping. It is making us hate ourselves a little more.


• Please turn your cellphone of during exams.


• If you forgot to turn your cell phone off, and it rings, please turn it off so that when that person calls you back, it will not disrupt us again.


• For the love of god, if your cell phone goes off during an exam, do not answer it.


• If you are adjudicating an exam and the girl next to me answers her cell phone, please, please, please take it away from her. Or someone (maybe me, maybe someone else, I can't say) is going to throw a shoe at her at her HEAD.

OMG YAY DONE! Congratulations for not, you know, dying or losing your marbles and stuff--and for not actually murdering cell phone girl, even though I'm sure it was tempting. *g*

My sanity is at least partially intact. I stacked up all of the notes I had to go through, just for my last four exams, notes and solutions and textbooks and printouts, and it came up PAST MY KNEE. It was insane.

Hey, are you feeling any better? I was wondering if you wanted to grab coffee or sushi or something next week, so I could pick up those disks and acquire you some BSG?

Eeep, that sounds brutal. But partially intact sanity means you WIN in that situation, I think. And your summer does sound much pleasanter in comparison. *g*

I'm feeling mostly better, thanks, so yeah--next week sounds great. I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday and work until 6 the rest of the days. When are you free?

I am working evenings this week, and and afternoon/evening on Wednesday. Tuesday, then? 2-ish, Fusions?

I don't think I have any of your media at the moment, but if you'd like I could bring the first two eps of the second series of Who. Are you looking for some reading material at the moment? I can't remember if it was you I promised Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy to or not.

Sure--Fusions at 2 on Tuesday sounds good. :)

I'd love the first two eps of the second series of Dr. Who, but I think it must have been somebody else asking to borrow Hitchhiker's, because I own that one already. Thanks, though!

I'm returning BSG, Dr. Who, DLM S2, Crash and the book you let me borrow, whose title escapes me--right?

Do I have anything you'd like to see or read (or listen to)? Do you watch Lost? I just dl'd the first half of the second season for one of my sisters--it would be no trouble to burn you a copy as well.

Err -- I'm afraid you're only actually getting the first ep, because it turns out I only have one CDR left. Sorry. I'll bring the second/however many have aired since then/TCI next time.

No, you were Good Omens, were you not? I know I promised you at least one more novel.

I'm returning BSG, Dr. Who, DLM S2, Crash and the book you let me borrow, whose title escapes me--right?

I believe that to be correct.

Do I have anything you'd like to see or read (or listen to)? Do you watch Lost? I just dl'd the first half of the second season for one of my sisters--it would be no trouble to burn you a copy as well.

I'm afraid I gave up on Lost part way through the first season. *G* But -- and totally forget it if it's in any way inconvenient -- if you had season 4 of Family Guy as well? I would love to see that. If you don't, or it's inconvenient, like I said, don't worry.

Just so you know, though? I have never been known to say 'no' to new music. *G*
