no neglect

April 29th, 2003 | by john |

just because it is finals week and I am lacking sleep doesn’t mean I will ignore my eJournal; so here it goes-

It’s 6:07am right now, just got back from the library. Within the past 48 hours, I have had less than six hour of sleep and 1.9 all nighters studying for exams. My first exam (CS2130) sucked really bad. The final exam (3 hour time period) was about 20% shorter than the length of our regular midterms – it was merely 10 questions in length and I turned in my test after only an hour and a half of writing. I was shocked because I thought this was going to be one of those CS exams where there are 3x as much questions as there would be on a normal midterm and thereby covering almost every topic we’ve encountered during the semester. The night before, I studied almost everything – refreshing my mind on the old stuff. About 70% of the final exam was basically the topics we covered after the 2nd (and last) midterm… and I didn’t nearly put as much focus on those later topics than I had actually studied for… I can’t believe they are making CmpE majors take CS2130 :-/

Anyways, got an exam in less then 5 hours so I’m going to get some sleep.
