It’s that time of year again. I will be locked away in my room studying for several finals and completing various class projects as this semester comes to an end. Naturally, it will be a little stagnant here for a while. Good luck to the students out there also coping with finals. As usual with finals week, I pack up whatever big monitor is taking up space on my desk and stash it away to keep me focused and reclaim most of my desk.
I have 3 finals and another class has a large project instead of a final. I just wrapped up a discrete math/proofs for computer scientists final this afternoon, have a HCI/UI Design final tomorrow and then a computing, society & professionalism final on Wednesday with 2 projects for an educational technology computer science class due Thursday and Friday.
After all that’s done I’m flying out to NYC to do IT work for a client, and then I come home for what’s left of my winter break. I won’t have much time of my own in NYC, but if you live in the area leave a comment just in case I have the time to arrange some sort of impromptu meetup.

That’s one lovely finals schedule you have there. How was your educational tech class? I have to write a 10-pager by Friday on that.
I’ll be in the NYC area – let me know if you want to grab coffee/lunch/whatever.
Good luck with the rest of your work!
Nice picture.
Finals week at Penn State doesn’t start until next week. My finals are: Discrete Math, Differential Equations, Intermediate Programming, and Intro to Probability Theory. As a math major, I know this isn’t going to be easy, but I just look forward to the end of next week when I’m all done!
Good luck on all of your finals, Paul, and good luck to all the other college students out there!
Ugh. My discrete math exam is in 6 hours. Then on Wednesday I have French and Operating Systems, followed by a paper and exam due for a Environment course on Friday.
I guess you don’t study with such a poor illumination on the desk… you’ll be blind before 30.
Hey, let me know if you want to review for the CS 4001 final anytime today (Tuesday) :-)
I would love to get together when you’re up here. Email me.
I was like this till last week! studying 12-15h / day!
I had finals four weeks ago (quarter system at RIT). I am already in my second week of second quarter. Anyway, good luck with your finals!
Jeez. Most of the time I envy you for being at college – but right now I don’t :-)
Good luck, as if you will need it!
Good Luck with those finals with ridiculously long titles haha, thats the one thing people can’t make fun of Art majors for….I can only have 3 finals at most a semester because of studios…
Paul,
Would love to meet-up when you’re in the NYC-area. Since I know how busy finals can be, if there is anything I can do to help schedule a lunch or something, just let me know. I think Tom might be traveling, but if he’s not, I’m sure he’d be interested as well.
Best,
John
I feel the pain…
Management of Information Systems yesterday. Intro to Financial Markets today. Intro to Marketing on Thursday. Intro to Ethics and Managerial Accounting on Friday.
Don’t be fooled by the word “intro.”
Calculator, pen, pencil, 2 bluebooks, 5 scantrons, and about 100 pages of notes later I will be able to enjoy some time off!
Yep, gotta love crunch time. Especially when you find out that one final includes generously sized essays!
I’m SO looking forward to winter break…
I hate finals!!!!!
Yeah, finals are gay. Finals week is one week of constant stress.
I just noticed you go to GA Tech; I was there two days ago to finish my research project. Small world, I just graduated from GA State.
discrete math, remember that from a few years back (computer science, ul, ireland) very happy that i don’t have to do that again. hci, now that was a subject i enjoyed. best of luck.
