fall 2004 finals

Finally started for me on Wednesday night, kicking it off with Math 471. I've never been so anxious to take a final before, I think it had to do with me having to wait a whole 4 days before I could take my first final, while everyone else was taking their finals, and I was hearing about it, made me feel like something was wrong, I had none to talk about. But given its a 'Judy exam' where Judy is the name of my profesor, and I have never finished any of the first three exams I was expecting a long and difficult exam. I was just plain out shocked to see 4 questions, and yes I wasted 2 minutes counting all the sub parts, not even 40 total problems to work out. Using the whole 'allocate the same percetage of time as points its worth' for timing, I was flying through the exam, and I was done with 15 minutes to spare, and this was after checking it over. So I left :) I'll find out my grades sometime I guess, whenever they put it up online.

So I've decided I'm staying here, not going anywhere. Could have gone Orlando for a month, that got shot down by going Canada for 2 weeks, that got cancelled for a combination of people wanting me to fly and the uncertainty of people actually being in Canada at that point in time, and then I got invited to go Orlando for a week, and I think I'm just going to stay here in Champaign-Urbana and chill... Just need some Val-time for myself :)

So I got myself Viper 791XV alarm for my car. I'm going to install it myself, shouldn't be that hard given I found a copy of the installer's guide online (doesn't come with it, it is a whole 58 pages), and I'm good at doing that stuff, so a nice weekend with my car (ehh in the cold) and I should be set :)

Two finals left, tomorow at 1:30 and 7 pm. Yea I have too much anxiety in me to just get over my finals, not sure why. Then it'll be a wonderful month of no homeworks, no exams, no going to class, and then it starts back, for my last semester :) But first we get through this semester
