    Yeah, so I was up all night (not studying for Theo) and I made an outline about 30 minutes before the test.

    I think I did kinda crappy on the objective part, but 7 pages of essay was definetly the shit.

    Yup.

    I have an A in that, I'm probably majoring in Econ.

    Yeah nice job Dry. Being a business major I've taken both micro and macro, as well as a 300 level more advanced microeconomic analysis course.... needless to say, economics isn't my thing (I had to work pretty hard to get a B in that 300 level course) but I am certainly glad there are folks out there that really understand it.

    For some reason Econ just sticks with me...I took the AP for Macro and Micro, so I placed out of Macro and just missed the cut off for Micro (by 1 short answer according to my score report.) In any case, I have to decide if I want to do econ or become a lawyer (which is probably what I'm looking at) because I suck at Calc so if I plan on getting a Masters I have to take up to Multivariable Calc, and I don't want to have to spend like 45 hours a week trying to master Calc when I can take Intro and Half of Calc 2 and get the Econ degree.

    In any case, according to my teacher, at the pace I'm going I should be inducted into the Econ Honors Fraternity (just a name, it's not actually a frat or anything) by the middle of junior year, which would tie the school record. If I didn't have to drop Calc this semester (my teacher couldn't speak English) I'd probably have made it in after the 2nd semester of sophomore year, which would be a record.

    I kind of want an internship this summer, but it's going to be difficult to find a good one.

    What are you looking to do with Engineering? Work for NASA?

    Nah nothing like that, I'm majoring in Civil Eng, so like building stadiums, bridges, towers and stuff like that, but next semester will determine if I can make it in Engineering or not, if not I'm going to switch to Marketing.

    eh autocad is pretty easy for the most part. I had to teach myself the program on the fly for a job a couple of years ago (i use microstation on an everyday basis).

    sounds like you are actually a structural major given the examples you gave.

    One final left. I need an 82 for an unforeseen and much needed semester of straight A's.

    Re: Final Exams

    For my 6 credit hour marketing research and analysis class that I busted my ass off for, the professor goofed on my grade. I saw a B for it, my heart skipped a few beats and I went through my own grade calculations about 10 or 12 times, email him and get his breakdown for me and I saw the error. His spreadsheet was multiplying a score from a student above me for my first exam, therefore lowering my grade from 92 something to 88 something.

    In other words, thank god I checked as having two B's (since it's 6 hours) wasn't the most pleasant thing to see from a class that I knew I had an A in.

    Same thing happened to me, for my communications class I checked online and saw a B+. I e-mailed him, called his office...

    Being a student sucks

    Funny how in these situations, your grade never mistakenly goes up, it always goes down. By mistake, of course.

    Re: Final Exams

    Like my history term paper...****er gave me a 65...I emailed him and said "I thought this paper was golden" he replied back "well you may not have used enough footnotes."

    I was aghast, he's got like 190 papers though, it's of to **** up a few...but it's only OK because he's basically deciding not to count it.

    Anyway, Western Civ at 9 and Micro at 1, then I'm done.

    WCiv is insane though, an example of the essay: 2.) Throughout human history, war has been a major catalyst for social change. Write an essay which discusses the impact of war on Western Society, very broadly speaking, and which traces the cultural changes which have been the result of various wars in the last 500 years. Choose two(2) major wars from each century, a total of ten(10), and discuss the impact of those wars on Western civilization. What was at stake? What were the major issues? Who were the major players? What were the societal and cultural results, broadly speaking? Remember to include names, dates and places in your essay.

    That's 1 of 3.

    Micro is going to be a joke.
