How many do people have this semster?

I have only four nicely spaced. And at this time of the morning up doing the classic engineer all nighter I am starting to look forward to the summer break.

The engineer all nighter ? Is this where you get thoroughly pissed for 24 hours ? Or is this where you start some 'project' that will take a couple of hours and find that you'll be lucky to have it finished in time for the morning....a bit like fixing the bike for race day, or a big ride.

I think I've only got 3 exams this semester, because one of my papers is engineering drawing and they just mark us on the drawings and stuff we do during the class :)

My exams aren't until a bit later in the year though, I've still got 3 or 4 weeks of lectures.
Hopefully they won't give us too much more work to do, because I need to go back and practice a lot of the engineering mechanics problems caz I didn't do to well in the mid-semester test...

I have 3 exams within 7 days. :crazy: My 1st exam is on the 26th, lst one on the 1st Nov. One of my papers is extra murual & has no exam but, a 3000 word essay due on the 25th. I plan on getting horribly drunk for 2 days after that. Edit: after the 1st that is!

I've been looking forward to summer since about August!

Just had my last lecturefor the year today. Yippee. Only three lab reports and one assignment left, Then a weeks grace then the exams start. Got 4 exams, starting with the hardest one and finishing with the easiest one. Then SUMMER TIME. Which pretty much means work to pay for next years fees.

I feel somewhat jealous of all youse folx in Academia.

Perhaps it's time to resurrect my thesis?

Hmmmmm.......




Nah! A person can only stand so much errant nonsense in their life....

... but it would be nice to have something new to learn. Not that I know everything, but I seem to have stopped learning stuff, or if I do learn anything, it displaces summat I already knew.
Perhaps my brain's as full as it's ever going to get....:wacko:
