blah... Finals suck

Oh and some real advice.

I just finished my last final ever of school 1 week ago. I managed to work 30+ hours a week all though college and buy a house even. Try to get scholarships, go down to the office that handles them and see if they have one form to apply for all, or fill them out one by one. I was friends with one of the teachers that gave out computer science scholarships and he said that so few people apply he gives one to everyone with a 2.0 GPA or higher. Make sure to fill out your FASFA too.

Thanks for the encouragement Res, the problem isn't the difficulty of the school work, its maintaining focus throughout the semmester, that coupled with working and going to college while living at home provides for great distraction. Not to mention I ain't got too many school buddies like I did at the first College I went to... I gotta get that transfer to MTU for next year....

Yeah, I hear what you're saying, Buck :)

Try to partition your mind - like, devote part of your head to study, and don't let the part of your head that focuses on 'play-time' (for want of a better phrase) interfere.
It depends how much control you have over your mind.
I used to do alot of yoga, and that helps to clear your mind, and focus on the job at hand, so to speak.

It's an awkward time of life, dude - the battle between wanting to have fun, and trying to stay focuses on college work...but no matter how much fun you think you're missing out on now, is nothing compared to the amount of fun you will have once you've gotten settled into a lucrative job, and your own life-stlye - trust me, you aint even begun to have fun, man! bwhahahaha :D

Res...

I hope that right... all I do it go to class, go to work, and toke on the side...

THat partition thing is an interesting idea, I might think on that when I toke later... I always can see things in a deeper light, so I tend to burn when something needs thinkin on....

Just finished my 3rd year, 2 semesters left, cant wait. Your taking some advanced math courses there I see. My friend has "W" organic chemistry 2 times now and is ready for a 3rd try. Dont give up I guess.

I personally dont like math. I'm substituting math for literature & science. Did elementary stats got a B and thats the jist of math in my MIS Bachelors.

I toke when I do my studying. I take it more serious when like that. I find the only reason for any failed tests is because I didn't study enough is all. I tell you what, Getting pretty sick of studying but at the same time I dont know what I would do without it. Always have to learn something :)

Price of books are about ridiculous. grrr

Yeah dude, college books are a giant raquet, but what can ya do?

See, I will study my ass off for the first 2 months or so of the semmester, then I'll end up missing one class somwhere down the line, fall a lil behind, and stop doing HW.... Then I'm toast... happens every time, I'm weak :(
