end of semester!

wheeey... my exam's are done!

and i think i nailed the calculus exam. i studied the 6 exams i took so far so much that just by glancing at the questions in the final, i knew what to do. i didnt answer one question, coz i really had no idea what to do, it was one of the three new questions, but if i had done everything right for the ones i did, i should get 140 out of 150.

i received three final grades so far, GT1000, History and Health, in the order of A, B and C respectively. i'm pretty sure i'll get an A for math, probable B for English and Intro to Engineering, so my GPA should sit at 3.28 or something. i guess that's alright for first semester.

but next semester's gonna be real tough. 19 hours, totally new subjects. im kinda scared already.

and its also next semester that i have to make a decision on a lot of many things, among them, my major, and how fast i wanna finish. if i am to go ballistic and take every single semester from now, i could be graduating this time only 2 years from now. but im not sure if i have the mental endurance to do that. i might squeeze in an internship just to boost my chances of employment, but i guess i gotta talk to some people in the school for that.

im gonna schedule for some diagnostic test to see what kind of major and career im most suited for, just as a measure. ive been taking online IQ tests recently, as well as those personality tests, to pass time in between studying, and the results are somewhat surprising. i know better than to trust one score, so i took like 3 or 4 of them, and my average was 127, which borders on the 'genius' category. i know it isnt true, some free, 15 minute online test is not gonna reflect accurately, these are just gimmicks to make people feel happy, so i got kinda fed up, coz it was a waste of time in the end. but some of the other tests reflected pretty well, i need some work that will allow me to manage my own way and such. sounds like my perception of ISyE so far. i guess i will find out next semester.

been watching tons of movies too, during late night, when its almost impossible to study coz of all the guys making noise. i cant even recall how many ive been so far, but 'saw', 'city of god' and '28 days later' and number of others i cant recall. 'city of god' was pretty awesome, and i couldnt believe that it was based on a true story.

yeah well, im just gonna take the next couple of days to go around, watch more movies and not have to worry about anything until january.

probably the only thing i need to worry about it getting my ass frozen in chicago.
