Finals Ahh

The finals they are kicking my butt. I accidentally deleted my entire solidsworks project by destroying my USB right when I was just about done with everything. I actually shed a few tears when that happened.

For MAE 200: Statics, The teacher decided to assign two homeworks and two quizzes sunday night, the week of finals week, as well as a 2 hour take home final that I am allowed to take 4 times. The homework usually takes me 10 hours each no matter what. The quizzes are 3 attempts at an hour each. The next week is going to be a work life balance challenge.

Here is what my last week looks like as I race to the end of the semester

I didn't leave the quizzes in there at all, and honestly, I am hoping I do not have to take them. I emailed haggling for a free pass. We'll see where that gets me. Because honestly, I have to take the quizzes, I will have an opportunity loss of 2 midterm attempts. This is a big deal, because the quizzes are only worth 2% of the grade each and the midterm is worth 20%. If you are wondering, the homework is worth extra credit, which is only important if i do not have to do my quizzes.

I'll let you know how I fair.
