Random Rants XLIV: I Can't Find The Answer

[JohannaK]

No.

 

[Borachio]

Fine. So what's the problem?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Wish me luck guys. I'm about to run a huge gauntlet with the fuel gauge on absolutely bugger all and no petrol station before my destination.

Not enamored with the idea of running out of juice in 40 degree heat.

Good luck.

Went to weather.gov site for Chicago to find out the next time its going to snow, first thing that pops up:

It's warm in Rolla too. I was in Florida when it snowed and I'm afraid I won't have a winter, just like last year.

 

[Angst]

Exams are due in 3 days aaaaaaaaaaa

 

[JohannaK]

Lucky you. I have one in 9 hours and a half. And I have to sleep in the meantime, among other things. And on top of that I have an exam due in 3 days too.

 

[madviking]

stop going on cfc and study

 

[hobbsyoyo]

@JoanK - Dude, don't let it bug you so much. I promise you that even if you bomb them, this will mean absolutely nothing in just a few years time, if even that long. Just keep that in mind - it's all temporary, it will get better, it doesn't really matter in the long run.

Edit: I'd actually suggest the opposite of MadViking. If you are this stressed, then you're probably unprepared and there is a good chance you'll fail no matter how much you cram. IF this is true, then screw it. Do what you want to do and have fun and don't worry about it. There's no point stressing over what you can't change and you can't change a bad semester in 9 1/2 hours. Just relax and have fun.

If you do have a chance to pass, stop panicking and get to work sleeping and studying.

 

[JohannaK]

I'm certainly not gonna study for this exam. It'd be useless now. But what I fear is the other exam. For which I have 2 days to prepare.

 

[madviking]

then you have no one to blame but yourself

 

[JohannaK]

You don't say. I'm an idiot, not a blind man.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

How much of a margin do you have to work with? Do you have to get a 95 to pass the class or something? (er, wait, don't spanish universities give exams that determine your grade and they don't grade anything else in the class but the exam)

I don't know dude, but if you don't think you can pass with 2 days worth of studying, then don't bother. Otherwise, get to work. Either way, make peace with all possible outcomes.

 

[JohannaK]

Argh. I'm trying to concentrate on Maths, but then I feel as if my heart sunk deeper into my chest and the void in its place sucked me towards it, it's just arrgh, so difficult to overcome this.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Then screw it. Get plastered and play some video games and try again next semester. Seriously, this isn't worth this much stress over, even though it's hard to see that when you're in the thick of it. It means nothing in the long run.

 

[JohannaK]

You know, this means failing these subjects for the whole year.

 

[NedimNapoleon]

Do what I always do. Go all nationalist in some video game and crush enemies without mercy, like playing with Nazi Germany with god mod on in HOI3. You'll feel the stress just melt off.

i wouldn't follow this advice...

 

[JohannaK]

Me neither. But I'm taking next year off. Even if it is just to go through this ordeal again afterwards. I need to think and relax.

 

[Takhisis]

You can't just not work and not study for an entire year.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

I didn't mean quit for the year. I meant quit for this semester which ends with this test in 2 days and try harder in the semester that starts after that. If I'm mistaken or unclear, I apologize.

err, I'm getting mixed up so <nvm>

 

[Takhisis]

Which doesn't appear to be JoanK's plan&#8230;
