Deciding to study over reading break
… nope.
…. but I should probably start tonight. Welp 🙁
End-of-term blues
Because all of my friends have already gone home and I’m stuck here for another four days because I have a final on the second-to-last day of exams. *sob*
I just really wanna go home for the holidays.
Studying for finals.
I’ll write a real post soon but for now I just want to curl up in my blankets and be a burrito for a while.
The last has fallen
When the last midterm has been vanquished…
…. and then you realize finals are but two weeks away and the cramming must begin again.
In other news, I seem to have caf food aversion. I’m sick of cafeteria food. It’s not necessarily bad food, but it does get old after a while. If and when this happens to you, here’s a few alternatives:
- The village — it’s cheap and relatively close.
- The SUB — there’s a bunch of places to eat inside of the SUB and most of them accept your UBC card so you can use up those flex dollars. Oh, and BLUE CHIP COOKIES OMNOMNOMNOM.
- Tim Horton’s — for those living in Totem Park, it’s right down the road in the Forestry Building and it’s open until 8pm. My apologies to Vanier kids, the other Timmie’s location closes at 4:30pm 🙁
- Triple O’s — inside of the Sauder building. Amazing burgers. #Freshman150
Also note that you might want to jog/sprint/Euro-train to some of these places if you want to avoid the freshman 150.
Dain Bramaged….
Oh my god. The PHYS 153 midterm yesterday. I don’t even.
It’s like someone took my brain, extracted it through my nose and then pan-fried it. Gruesome, I know, but so was the midterm. Coming out of the exam, it seemed like everyone else was in the same position of me, given all the swearing and trembling hands as we turned in our papers. I spent way too much time going over heat transfer problems from the previous midterms and while taking the exam, this wild blackbody radiation problem comes up, giving you the radius of Mars, the ratio between its distance from the Sun and Earth’s distance from the sun, and then it asked you to find the temperature of Mars. What. The. Shitake mushrooms. Let’s just say there’s a 100% chance that I failed this midterm. I just pray to God that they decide to scale the midterm… until then, I’ll eat away my sorrows by buying buckets of chocolate ice cream.
I’m alive! (for now…)
Just wanted to take a really quick minute to let you know that no, I’m not dead… yet. The PHYS 153 midterm tomorrow just might kill me, though. You should all know that studying for half an hour and then rewarding yourself by going on YouTube and Tumblr for an hour is not a very efficient way to study.
Hopefully I’ll be able to walk into the midterm tomorrow and not be swallowed up into the fiery depths of thermodynamics where the only way I’ll be able to get out is to calculate the work done by the toxic gas at constant volume that will lead to an increase in temperature high enough to incinerate my body and ohmygodI’vespentwaytoomuchtimereadingthetextbook. If I don’t make it out alive tomorrow, I want you all to know that you’re all amazing and I love you.
But for future first-year engineers: PHYS 153 actually isn’t that bad– just stay on top of your work.
