Update

Well, I haven't posted in a while... ...so here's just a general update for what's happening.

24Apr/090

Studying: Day 16/16 (100%)

I'M FREE!

And I survived MATH 103 after all.

But ya, that was a good start to the day (despite completely panicking in the morning).

Plus I got to come home and play FFXI for about 5 hours (woo. lol).

And my feet don't hurt as badly (although they were pretty bad while walking across campus).

So woo! Freedom!

Now it's time for bed. lol

Studying: Day 15/16 (94%)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I just did a practice math final... ...was only able to do about a quarter of it.

CRAPPP

Going to die tomorrow.

Going back to basics--gonna do old assignments for a long time tonight :(

That would be ironic--the course I fail... ...is math. *sigh* Joy

Well... ...just one more day.

Omg. I better pass tomorrow...

PS: My feet are dead more today than before. Damn having to walk to my chem exam. lol

Studying: Day 14/16 (88%)

CHEM 123, why dost thou detest me so?

I finish my writing of 71 pages of notes from the text book and go to do a practice final exam... KABAM! 5%. I was like DX

So yep. Today, which was supposed to also feature studying for math, ended up being strictly for Chemistry. AND THEN I FRICKING SKIPPED VOLLEYBALL DUE TO STUDYING FOR CHEM. *sigh*

I better do well on this exam tomorrow. It's cost me all this studying time and now volleyball. Plus a potentially bad mark on Math.

Oh my God. Chemistry, I hate you.

21Apr/090

Studying: Day 13/16 (81%)

Omg. My feet are still dead. They better be better for volleyball tomorrow.

Anyhow, I officially hate CHEM 123. I've typed up a total of 53 pages of notes (20,857 words) so far from textbook reading, and I still have 5 chapters to finish tomorrow.

And I also have to start and finish studying for MATH 103 tomorrow, and still find time to review/practice CHEM 123.

*sigh*

Damn studying. Just 3 days left. Just 3 days left...

20Apr/090

Studying: Day 12/16 (75%)

Well... ...I am officially behind in my studying. *sigh*

CHEM 123 readings take forever to complete. But at least I seem to be understanding it now :)

Anyhow, I'm going to bed now. Gonna power-study tomorrow to try and catch up.

Until tomorrow,
~Tysune

PS: My Sun Run time was 1:02 :)
PPS: My feet still hurt a lot <(TT.TT)>

19Apr/092

Studying: Day 11/16 (69%)

So the Sun Run was this morning. Tamara B and I did it together. We finished in about an hour, which is pretty good considering I haven't run a lot since September-ish. Although, I held her back quite a bit, so I felt bad about that. But she was basically the only reason we finished in that time. I would've walked a lot more if she wasn't there XD By half-way through the run, my legs were numb knee-down... XD

Anyhow, I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is back to routine studying. XD

18Apr/092

Studying: Day 10/16 (63%)

Well, I survived BIOL 121. I guess that's what 45 hours of studying can do for a person. Unfortunately, I didn't need all of those hours of studying... ...but better safe than sorry. XD

Anyhow, the Sun Run is tomorrow, so I shall be doing that before I start studying again. Woot.

18Apr/090

Studying: Day 9/16 (56%)

So Kaitlyn R and Tessa B came over to study BIOL 121 today. We have concluded doom. But yet I am more relaxed about this exam than before. Hopefully tomorrow goes better than I expect.

Expect either great joy or more depression in tomorrow's update.

Happy to be past 50% done...

16Apr/090

Studying: Day 8/16 (50%)

Woo! Half-way done!

I finished my ENGL 110 exam, surprizingly. 3 essays in 3 hours, but I finished.

And now it's study and panic time for BIOL 121. Yay.

15Apr/093

Studying: Day 7/16 (44%)

Heyhey,

So I just got back from my CPSC 111 exam... ...which was complete and utter doom. Unexpectedly, I might add. The practice final exam that was posted on Vista I was able to finish in 1 hour (rather than the 2.5 hours they alotted); nonetheless, I studied the whole day for CPSC 111 anyways. And still the exam was death. *sigh* At least one of the questions I didn't know what it wanted done. Another question I changed after double checking my addition, but apparently I mis-added it the second time. So that sucks. NEVER DOUBLE CHECK WORK ON FINAL EXAMS. That's a rule I really need to learn to follow. But oh well. 1 exam bombed, 4 more to go. Starting... ...tomorrow.

Thus I be off for bed. Still gotta finish Blood Meridian and a stack of short works that is actually way larger than I anticipated.

Until tomorrow,
~Tysune

14Apr/090

Studying: Day 6/16 (38%)

Heyhey,

So today... ...I reviewed for CPSC 111. Although I can't tell if I'm ready for that course or not. I was totally freaking out right before Midterm #2 that I didn't know enough, but then I did alright on the midterm. I re-read the textbook and went over basically all the basics. Tomorrow morning I'm doing all the practice exams I can. Then tomorrow night is the final. I hope I'm ready for it :(

I didn't finish Blood Meridian today. That book is so bloody long. But I am liking it a bit more this time around. Nonetheless, extending periods of reading it make me fall asleep.

The last subject I studied for today was BIOL 121. Oh my God. So totally freaking out about that subject right now. I have 0 indication of how ready I am for the final exam. I basically finished reading the textbooks today. So basically all there is left to do is re-go over lecture notes and then collaborate with people about potential problems. I'm thinking of pushing my two CHEM 123 study blocks on Friday and Saturday onto the bus or squish them into Sunday because I really need to figure out BIOL 121. ARG! BIOL 121 WILL BE MY DOOM!

Anyhow, it's midterm. I have resorted to staying up late (largely due to excess time spent on Blood Meridian. Seriously, why is that book so bloody long). Although, I think I will do this until May at least--it's fricking cold in the morning, so I don't get out of bed until later. So... ...to keep my "daylight hours" up, I'm gonna stay up late. Although, probably not this late. lol.

Until tomorrow (Or maybe the day after. I might not be home from my CPSC 111 exam until ~11:30 PM, so I don't know if I'll be in a ranting mood then...),

13Apr/090

Studying: Day 5

Well, today went alright I guess. I finished my to-do list (although, it wasn't very specific for English. It just said "Read Blood Meridian", which I did. But not fast enough. I have 300 pages to read tomorrow of Blood Meridian. Yay).

I'm starting FFXI again, but only 3 hours a week (on Sundays--my day off). But my brother was killing mobs for me today to help me get an item... ...and thus, I got distracted.

But ya, I think I will do okay on my Computer Science and English finals. I'm really worried about Biology though. Our class seems to be at a somewhat lower level than the other classes (and half the exam is common across classes...) and plus, we don't get a practice exam or questions to practice from. Thus, I am feeling screwed for that right now.

But oh well. Just 10-11 days left of Hell. Then Smeagle is free!

Nonetheless, I am off. Gotta get up early tomorrow morning to finish Bio reading.

PS: As for running (the Sun Run is on Sunday and I've done virtually no training >.<;; ), I read Blood Meridian today... ...on the eliptical trainer. It's slow, but it keeps me concentrated on the book. Thus, I shall do the same tomorrow (multitasking--yay!). English and Sun Run (which I just realized is interesting because I know be English prof. is doing the Sun Run as well XD).

12Apr/092

Studying: Days 3 & 4

Wow. So much reading. But I'm pretty much keeping up. Although I will say I'm really looking forward to exams to end.

I will never let myself ignore my readings again DX

Studying: Day 2

So this morning, I went for a jog. I did sleep for an extra hour first, however. Anyways, it wasn't very long. I ran 3.1 km this morning, but it's a start for the 10 km approaching in 1.5 weeks XD

Anyhow, I got most of my studying for today done. I didn't get it all done, though, as my cousins (Maxine K, Coco K, and Michael S) along with my aunts (Nancie and Karen) and Grandpa came over for "Easter Dinner" tonight. It was quite bon--we tennis'd and played on the playground and then DDR'd for a bit. Unforunately, it did set me back on my studying again. (But now I think I'm free from everything but studying for a good two weeks. Yay.)

Anywho, it is midnight now, and I was supposed to be sleeping three hours ago. Thus, I am off to read myself to sleep.

Until tomorrow,
~Tysune
