This past week has been hell. Absolute hell.
Rewind back to two thursdays ago. I get incredibly sick and puke for like 2 days straight, miss thursday lab and friday classes. Miss a homework assignment that was due friday, and my professor has still yet to respond to my 3 emails asking him what the deal is. I mean, he could be cool and accept the fact that I was sick (and I dont really have access to the health-center as easy as the on-campus students have to get a note proving this) and just delete the grade. Or he could give me a zero. I would understand if he did either one, but I really fucking need to know.
Anyway, because I missed the lab, I missed to opportunity to pick what lab I wanted to write the formal report for, and thus got stuck with the one nobody else wanted. I suck at electricity and magnatism anyway, so having the really hard one made things... really really hard.
Anyway, I had a Physics test that monday, so I stayed up almost all night sunday night to study. I ended up doing incredibly bad on that test, but thats okay cause he drops the lowest test grade and my other two grades are respectable. Still, I was up all night.
Then, on tuesday, I had an oral report due. So I had to research and practice that for class the next day. Everyone was able to give presentations on cool cutting-edge technological advancements, while I got stuck presenting about "Couplings." Don't know what couplings are? Basically, they're things that connect two rotating shafts. Neat! Needless to say I couldn't hold anyones interest.
After the oral report, I had to meet with my project group. The project was to build a battle-bot. The competition would be Saturday, and we sort of put it off to the last minute. It was a fun project to do, I wont lie, but meeting all the time during this busy as hell week was not good.
So due Tuesday was Calc3 homework. Not just any homework, big-part-of-grade homework. So that kept me up pretty late.
Then for thursday, our Lab reports were due (the ones I mentioned earlier). I stayed up pretty late working on that until I realized I wasn't going to finish it. I emailed him asking if I could turn it in on Monday. Still, I woke up at 8am and drove to the library to work on it (lab is at 2:30), but I couldn't get it finished. I got an email back from him while I was working saying that it was okay to turn it in Monday. I give up and take a much needed nap in a lounge-couch.
So I do my make-up lab (I was only one of 3 kids that needed to do it, cause I was sick the week before) and then I head home at like 5 O'clock cause lab runs so late. Then its time to study for that Calc3 exam AND a Statics exam... But wait!!!!!!! MIRACLE, I sent a email to my statics professor begging him to move the exam to monday, and apparently some other people did, so I got some inbox love, informing us that our test would now be on Monday (yet he still didn't respond about my fucking homework).
So I study for Calc 3, and am feeling confident. I take the test and felt really confident at the conclusion. After class, I met with my project group and worked on our robot till pretty late at night. For the first time in about a week, I got the opportunity to relax my mind. I went out with some friends I hadn't seen in a really long time and we went to eat. We stayed out real late. Unfortunately for me, I had to wake up at 9 the next morning to finish working on our robot, and then to have the competition.
Our robot did horrible, but it was still a lot of fun anyway. At least we tried to make a weapon, while most groups just designed metal boxes on wheels. booooooring.
Saturday I stay in, expecting that I would work on that lab report so I would have time to study on Sunday night. But no, I found my guitar which I hadn't had a chance to play all week, and spent all night playing and singing.
So Sunday rolls around, i watch the Eagles game, make incredibly slow progress on my lab report. I finally really get started at like 10:00, and I realize its going to take a lot longer than I thought. I work semi-steadily on it until about 7:30 a.m. (when this thread was made), and then I begin studying for statics. Realizing that i'm about to die of no sleep, I take a half hour nap. I wake up and study for Statics from 8:00-9:45, when I have to be on my way to make it to calc3 class.
I get to class and get my test back, the one I was confident about, and see a poor result. I'm very dissapointed. But he drops our lowest test grade, and this grade is higher than my previous lowest test grade, so thats a plus.
I meander on over to statics class to take my test and 50 minutes goes by in 10, I barely got a chance to write the problems down on the paper. I completely bombed it. Horribly.
So I go on over to the library to print out my lab report, and for some reason all the library printers are printing big black lines all over the pages. I go to the third floor and print it out there, where its a little better. I decide I don't give a shit, and print it out on inkstained paper. I go to hand it in, like the professor agreed, but he's not in his office. I go to the Physics office and find out he has NO office hours on Monday. And today is the last day of the semester... Wtf? So the secretary suggests I leave my report in his mailbox, which I do. I promtly email him explaining where my report is.
Then I go to the last physics lecture ever, and its as big of a waste as all the other ones have been.
Now i'm here typing this, and I realize i'm 10 minutes late for my last class for Analysis and Design, the only class I have an A in and probably the only one I will for a long time.
Whoops, peace out.
On the bright side, I don't have anything to do for tomorrow. Finally I get a clear mind tonight. Tomorrow I start studying for finals though, which don't end till next Tuesday (plus I have one on Saturday... and they're all at 8:00am.)
Fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i gotta roll
