summa

Finally, the end of the year has arrived. As we enter finals week, I'm not sure what will happen in most of my classes. The only two classes that I have where we are still doing work are math and physics. All of the rest, we just sit around and talk or watch movies, and it's awesome. After a long and trying year, these few days of relaxing couldn't be more welcome. My brain filled up about two weeks ago, so the few classes that were cramming in more material before finals had none of my attention. All of my classes, actually, got very little attention from me. My brain is so fried that I am hardly worrying about my finals this year.

Normally, the weekend before finals is a huge cramming session. But, over the course of this year, I've realized that when I cram before a test I do just as well as if I rely on what I actually learned leading up to the test. It first came to me because I had enough work I didn't have time to study for a few tests, but now I'm starting to adopt a policy of only doing short reviews rather than cramming. I might not get those extra three or four points, but spending a few hours just for those isn't worth it to me anymore. It might just be laziness, but whatever.

The one test I am worried about is the calc final. A whole two hour time slot for math? It sounds to me like the hardest test ever. It is supposed to cover essentially everything we've learned. From my experience with Mrs. Boca's tests, they often involve problems with many parts, so if you mess up one part everything afterwards is also trashed. My fear is that the final will be a few very long questions and I will forget how to do one simple thing, ruining the rest of my test. With a two hour time slot, theres a lot of room for long questions. Not to mention I am trying to do the final homework assignment and I have absolutely no idea how to even start half of the problems. Plus, the final is worth some drastically in-proportionate amount of the total grade, so I can't just blow it off. Not going too well with my whole plan.

So because I am stuck on all of these math problems, I decided to switch things up and come write my blog post, so here it is.

Also I am feeling really sleepy lately, probably as a result of my diet. I need to start eating healthier. But now that summer is near, I am back on a fast food diet and probably will be on it until school is back in session. A whole 3 months away :] I've never been more ready. Summer! it sounds so nice.

Anyway, gotta get back on my grind. Probably my last blog post ever :( I usually just tweet things on my mind. follow me @fuzzybran if you have a twitter.

Election campaigns

I'm surprisingly irritated by the campaigns for class offices this year. Usually it's just the signs and some free food, and then the candidates leave me alone. This year, the campaigns of two people have been a little too in-my-face. Every day this week I've been bothered by a fight for attention between two of the presidential candidates. The supporting reasons that I should vote for them have no actual substance to them. Vote for me, I'm a guy vs vote for me just because I like being in studco. Honestly, I could care less about who wins, so when people put up stupid arguments like that all they do is lose my vote.

Besides, it's not like you can run the election like the actual presidential election, where I don't personally know the candidates. For the student council elections, I know everybody well enough that no matter what campaigning you do, I'm just going to vote for who I think would do the best job. Don't waste your time putting up posters everywhere and buying candy. If I know you're responsible and whatnot, you get my vote, because everyone else is just dicking around with posters and free food.

Also, when you have petty little fights via posters I really just find it irritating. Show us the birth certificate, vote for whoever or we'll kill this little animal, etc. At first it was amusing, but then it kept dragging on and kovacs got mad. You're just making trouble over something that I don't think the general population at Uni cares about. Even good campaigns don't change my vote, albeit I do respect you more. I enjoyed the posters with random women a lot. I can appreciate the humor and I like you more as a person, but sorry, my vote is still going to whoever would actually do the best. So when you do stupid campaigns, you don't get my vote, and you lose my respect.
