Got a gen chem exam tonight at 7:30 pm.
It's currently 8:56 am EST.

I've been unknowingly studying mid term past papers, where only a third of the material will be from the mid term while 2/3 of the exam is new shit I didn't start studying for yet.

This exam is worth 42% of my final grade and I need to get at least an 80% on it to pass my course. Fuck everything.

Gen Chem is easy. They will give you all the equations and you just have to plug and chug. A monkey could do it with just a day's worth of real study and practice. You do need to understand all the concepts as well in order to understand how to use the equations, but that shouldn't be hard to learn in a day. Memorize your charts for stuff like polyatomic ion charges and solubilities and shit like that because you'll need to know them. Good luck OP!

If you have to memorize the equations though, I'm sorry, you're fucked.

I might have finally gotten over the shock of being surrounded by attractive girls all day.
I know that i'll be kv when i graduate but i am prone to developing crushes and such and it was particularily bad in the beginning.

The professor is a huge dickhead, everyone can obviously see the spelling error and if he wants to ding you points on it that's fine, but to interrupt mid presentation is a real cunt move.

Taking intermediate dynamics (junior level course) with the single most incompetent man I have ever met

I looked up the solutions to our midterm exam (they come from a test bank), and compared them to his solutions that he provided, and found that he approached 2/3 problems incorrectly and even managed to leave out a critical value in one that made the answer nonsensical

he does this shit in class too, he just goes over example problems but he fucks up every single one and sometimes gives up halfway through

I was cripplingly depressed for 70% of the semester. Near the end I managed it and beat the depression back .I started studying hard, but I'm sure it was futile since it was too late.

But the strange thing is I feel oddly accomplished for just staying until the end, which is a new thing for me. Usually I just drop out. I'm excited for the next semester in a few weeks because school seems pretty easy/enjoyable once you get over your demons, even for the supposedly "hard" classes.
>>
>>24910617
Congrats. That means though that the depression is becoming your default personality. I gave up more than a decade ago, and I just don't break anymore. I'm fucking hyper-paranoid about normies fucking over my life and want to kill them with my bare dick, but I've failed high school, four English 101s, three speaking courses, and am onto my third year after three years and a summer at CC.

Normalfags can control my behavior but they can't control my mind.
