F...Finals

Yeah I mean I kinda built to be an engineer, because my strong points in HS were Calc and the Sciences, but somehow ended up in foreign affairs, which is much more interesting.

The bad part about it, is that I get the worst of both world. Tons of papers for politics, and problem sets for econ. Fun Fun.

My accounting final in college was 1 question (Parts A, B, and C, but you couldn't get B and C right if you didn't get A right). And that 1 question accounted for 100% of our grade.

Pain in the you know what

What is IS btw?

jdlea · 05-08-2007, 10:06 PM

Information Systems. It's kinda somewhere between Comp Sci and Business. It's not all that difficult, but I do have a test tomorrow night that will be about 10 - 12 pages short answer/essay.

I want to be an IS major. I'm trying to decide right now. As of now i am technically an Accounting major but that could easily change next year. i want to stay in the business school but I am trying to decide what exactly. Accounting+IS seems like the path I'll take.

I know it sucks for you college guys now, but believe me enjoy it while you can. I'm always looking back and saying damn, I wish I only had a couple of classes per day now. Once you get to the real world there's no more summers off, 3-4 week breaks for Christmas, etc.

I know school is stressful, and I don't miss those all night cram sessions hopped up on coffee and no-doze, LOL. But it's still a great time in your lives, something you'll never come close to experiencing again.

Today is my last day of classes.....ever. I'm actually really going to miss classes. I like the idea of making my own schedule, accounting to no one but myself, and reading every day about things I'm interested in.

People actually read texts?

If they had Sugar Free Rockstar while I was in college...i'd probably be drinking 5-7 of them a day now, instead of my usual 1-2. The best was Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Large cup at 11pm and I was up all night no problem.

Probelm with rock star is the crash =/

I drank 4 last night. Brutal...

After I'm done studying I just lay in bed and the damn birds keep me up. I hate it.

I'm actually about to run out to Giant and re-up. This is crunch time for me... and I've spent to much time dicking around online already...

To everyone else in the struggle, GOOD LUCK!

sugar free my friend, that cuts the crash. I mean the caffine crash is still there, but if its sugar free. then its less

MTK · 05-09-2007, 03:17 PM

Sugar free Red Bull is pretty good, well as good as Red Bull can be I guess. I certainly don't drink it for the taste, but it's a nice hangover drink.

Best way I prevent a hangover is by drinking one of those big Gatorades right before I go to bed.

A hangover is basically low blood sugar, dehydration, and vitamin deficiency. You can knock most of them out by slamming down one of those bad boys before you go to bed.

I'm not saying I wake up and everything is puppies and rainbows, but I usually feel a lot better than I would without it.

5 Hour Energy Drink. I had a thread about it about a month ago and finally tried it. It's my SAVIOR if I want to stay up extra time. NO crash because there's very little sugar in it and I feel great, not jittery, the whole night.
