Final Exams
It is no surprise to any college student that final exams suck. They don’t just suck, they suck like a heavy-duty industrial vacuum cleaner rewired by Tim “the Toolman” Taylor. Well, not really. Further proof I shouldn’t ever think of being an English major.
The first of my three finals this quarter was for CS 33, the introduction to (MIPS) computer architecture and assembly language. The final had very time-consuming questions on it - not hard ones, just time consuming ones. For instance, I had to find the five errors in an eight-page program. Pure evil, especially when four of the five were near the end!
The next final was the exact opposite - Math 33A, Linear Algebra. I finished in an hour, checked my work, and turned it in. Easy stuff. Which was good considering the final started at 6:30pm and could have gone until 9:30.
Now I have a day off until I get to enjoy the thrill of waking up at the ungodly hour of 6 am to get ready for my final at 8. Differential equations. Good stuff.
