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.
