Took my real estate law final on Monday. It was tougher than I expected, but I'll probably still get an A-. I needed a 96 to get an A and I didn't see that happening.
Still have three finals left. Security analysis tomorrow, and even though it's open note, it's still hard as fuck. But since everyone does horrible on them, I'm expecting an A in the class. Financial modeling on Thursday, which should also be tough, especially since the professor didn't know how to teach. And then finally on Friday at 7:30 in the am I have my cost accounting final which should be fairly easy.
Then after that it's bye bye school. I'm graduating on the 11th and then I gotta start working.

Goddamn I don't want to go through this again. Exam week (in some cases weeks) are always the worst time in my life. I get irritable, usually get sick, stress out and get next to no sleep. I fucking hate it.
I'm just glad this is the last time I have 4 scheduled exams. Next year I only have 3 cause my honor's project counts as 3 credits, but then that has a huge presentation and thesis to write.

I felt like I rocked the exam, and my tests/quizzes were all A- to As...it's just a matter of whether the exam was good enough to bring me up to that level. I think it was, but only time will tell on that front.
I got raped for not citing my source often enough; it was an article analysis, I cited it once figuring that would be enough, and I was wrong. Just a bad turn of events, and a lesson learned.

Mainly cause I took Organometallic chemistry so NMR stuff comes to me naturally now.
NMR is the devil

:lol :lol :lol
it's funny because it's true...for me anyway. For some reason, out of the four years here at IADT, this one was the toughest, most depressing, and very stressful semester I've had. Also very, very tiresome...I'm tired all the damn time. Work during the day fulltime from 9 to 5, and then class from 5:30 to 9:30 and don't get home until 10...and when you have a girlfriend like I do, and then that's more time. So I get....4 hours of sleep tops? Arg.
Just one more semester and one class left. Yay...but now I gotta take another loan out. Bastards!

One you get it though, it's awsome. It only sucks when shit starts to overlap, or the splitting gets to insane levels (once seen a doublet of doublet of septets, that was fun to figure out).
Worst thing was why so many people did bad on the first midterm. The first thing to do was to figure out what the structure of the molecule. Problem was, the peak looked like a pentet, but it was really a septet (it was so small, it looked like the normal static line of the NMR spectra, but that's what you expect from a 1 6 15 20 15 6 1 ratio). Luckily I actually realized this so I didn't get raped by it.

Is it the laboratory honours, or journal research honours thesis?

I took Micro last year during my undergrad, and I REALLY liked it. Of course I get to take it again next year, under much more strenuous circumstances. WHOO!
Lab. Right now I'm working on a phosphatase enzyme, trying to figure out what proteins in the cell the enzyme interacts with. I've hit a major snag right now because, for the life of me, I cannot get my DNA that codes for the human forms of those proteins to grow in some E coli cells. I figured that there was a restriction site (EcoRI) on the vector containing the protein DNA that wasn't supposed to be there, so the DNA got chopped up way more than it was supposed to. But since the fragments were small, they were coming off the gel and I didn't notice (due to inexperience) that the weight of the bands was slightly off. I figured it out, so maybe it'll work this time. My DNA is ligating at the lab's fridge as we speak, so maybe the problem will be resolved once and for all! (I'll find out Thursday mornin)
...realizing about 3% of you know what i'm talking about, I'll just leave it at that.

I love molecular biology, and am reading about structure of DNA pol III as we speak!
