    Three finals? I'm pretty sure you can bug the Dean of students or someone to move one of them.

    Yeah, most schools have an arrangement like that. I really hope it won't be a problem for you.

    I'd be dropping Astronomy (THE EXPANDING UNIVERSE (I would go to this class high off my ass every time)) for the art classes.

    I had to skip to register as well, although it was last week. Even with being a senior and having registration priority it's damn hard to get in to classes. Doubly so when every senior needs like the same couple of classes.

    Unfortunately my schedule is completely bogus next term. I have a 3 hour class on Tuesdays from 6-9 PM. Who the fuck teaches a class that time of day? When am I supposed to eat dinner? Of course, it doesn't help that I have classes for 6 hours before that. Ugh, I just realized I'm going to be in classes for 9 hours on Tuesdays. Just shoot me now.

    9 hours ahahaha jesus christ I would literally drop for the term

    A 3 hour night class is nothing new, but taking a full day with a 3 hour night class is balls hard. Do you at least have no MW classes?

    Yeah, I'm only T/R for classes, but I'd much rather have my courses spread out over the week than kill myself every Tuesday. I've had 3 hour night classes before, but they were usually like, 4-7 or somesuch. 6-9 is really the worst span of time. I'm not sure what possesses people to create classes for those times. Unfortunately, I need certain courses so I don't have a lot of choice about my schedule. My only other option would be to take a class I don't really care about that starts at 8:30 in the morning, which would also kill me.

    My school has 6:30-9:20 night classes, mostly to help people who commute.

    re-app'd for school.
    The Deans STILL haven't replied to me about how I'm going to finish my last core class.
    Hopefully they will and won't be dicks like they were before.

    tomorrow is going to be insane
    i have my microbiology lab final (i would estimate i need to know approximately 200 facts off the top of my head that are things i didn't know before this course, which seems fair i guess?)
    then I have my final inorganic chemistry lab (where I have to identify five of my six salts still, more details in spoiler in case anyone wants to help out I guess!)
    Okay here's what I have so far
    one of my unknowns is DEFINITELY SnCl2. Like, 100% sure.
    I have a bromine anion, another chloride anion, a nitrate anion, and a phosphate anion. For these four I just have to do flame tests to determine the cation. I'm 100% sure about them too except for the nitrate anion because our nitrate confirmation test was "fail every other test and by process of elimination it's nitrate, unless you fucked up somewhere I guess"

    the sixth salt is driving me insane
    it is water soluble
    it produces acidic solution in water and all the acidic ions we can draw from for our answers are cations
    last week we were allowed to test for p-block cations and it failed all of those tests (Pb, Al, Sn, NH4+)
    It also failed all of the anion tests, so I guess that means it's nitrate? But what would the acid part be? asdlfjkasljkd

  • romanqwertyromanqwerty Registered User regular
    Mg2+?

  • unintentionalunintentional smelly Registered User regular
    Mg2+?

    ooh good idea i completely forgot about group I and II somehow
    and somehow
    despite completely forgetting about the s block
    i am not failing this course..?

    yeah i guess it'll come clear with the flame test :)

    and i finished studying for bio
    and i finished the paper i have due tomorrow

    erggg stress

  • romanqwertyromanqwerty Registered User regular
    well aqeuous mg2+ is a lewis acid..Don't remember if any other s block cations are..

    Almost done with my comparative analysis of Hotel Rwanda, just waiting on feedback from a dude. Probably going to shower in the mean time!
    Received my vaporizer today, had to go to the area desk to pick it up and the whole time I was talking to the girl at the counter I got more and more paranoid "OH GOD DOES SHE KNOW WHAT'S IN THE BOX? FUCK SHE KNOWS WHAT'S IN THE BOX OH GOD"

    Just explain to your professor that you're a god-being who lives outside of time, so it's very hard for you to get dates right some times

    Write an essay, of approximately 1000 words (not including program code), with
    the following specication:

    Title:

    The Distinction between Call-by-Reference, and Passing Pointers by-Value.

    Abstract:

    Call-by-reference, and call-by-value are two argument passing mechanisms used in many
    programming languages. However, there is often confusion between call-by-reference, and
    passing a pointer `by-value'.
    This essay starts by discussing the two argument passing mechansisms, and then demon-
    strates how the confusion arises. Programming language examples are given that illustrate
    the distinction between call-by-reference and pointer passing by value. A concluding section
    evalautes whether this confusion is a signicant problem in programming.

    Fuck me this is gonna be boring.

    Huh. My professor has not listed me on the schedule to present our final projects.

    I hope this isn't a case of the professor deciding I've already failed and deciding not to tell me.

    who even grades a project like that


    on a related note I love it when professors structure assignments and exams such that they don't have to do any math when working out grades
    like this assignment is out of 20, this exam is out of 35, and that is exactly the percentage of the course they are worth
