I hate finals, but tomorrow it will all be over... right now I'm trying to memorize about a page back and front plus another front of a page worth of equations. I wrote all these out from the notes, and my hand hurts after writing them out. Yet I'm expected to know them all... and how to use them.

F[size=2]u[/size]cking 4000 lvl engineering classes blow. Just gotta keep telling myself this final is all that stands between me and graduation. Well, tech. I have a second final but it is Safety. I think I can go into a Safety final and get a 20 (what I need for a D) and pass the class. Though I'm pretty confident I would even get a C (need a 54) with out studying. Though I want a B in the class, so I need an 87. :upset:


Though I'm probably going to be stuck studying for that final in the 4 hours between it and my first.

Dear LFD live journal What engineering degree are you seeking?

UR smart.
unfortunately awesome paying jobs in your field are very few. Sorry to bring the bad news. Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones that gets a good job. I know anymore it seems like a 4 year degree is only about as good as a HS diploma.

I'm not sure what you're smoking, but an EE major straight out of college (depending his field) makes $60-120k a year. I'm not a controls EE, so I wont be making 100k+, but a single guy can live pretty happily on $60k a year... and that is bad pay for my degrees.

Best of luck with your **** dude.[/QUOTE]

Thanks, good luck to you too.

talking about finals then? okay

i'm halfway though studying for my cost accounting test, but i've been really unmotivated to study at all tbh because the teacher said the test is going to be the same difficulty as all the others, except its open book and open note.

also, advanced accounting take home test (which is really easy, its about the equivalent of two homework problems) due monday.

my international commercial law final was yesterday, which was just a presentation on a current issue having to do with one of the chapters (my group got employment law). teacher said she wanted to make it really easy for us and she didn't want to give a test so yay for that.

this has probably been my easiest semester in two years, go me.

i wana degree

i only got roflcopter diplomas in music

my roommate is a law major. i always make fun of him for being a law major cos when he graduates he has to go back to school because a BS in business law isn't really worth anything.

in other news look what i found

remember when the lod was fun?

wait, is top gear on tv in the states? i just figured you were from england or thereabouts.

only reason i know about top gear is cos i was in wales on vacation this summer and i watched a few episodes.

good show theres a live gig on here ina few days or so, top gear live

and all my friends who have degrees end up doing complething completly unrelated to the degree but they get paid more cause they have one! madness

got the gf gift sorted this year for christmas thank fcuk

reruns of seinfeld are on at 5am i shud be asleep


theres an episode of top gear with an american stig... rather funny

I suppose your right and I guess my mindset on pay is slighty askew. I know what our control techs at work make and it less than me with my lack of even an associates degree. The electrical engineers, process engineers, and IT people also make less. Sure I have to do way more physical labor but, I actually like getting out in the field and bustin ***. I don't think I am capable of sittin behind a computer all day.

**** you people finishing your finals already, mine don't start until Monday. :angry:

So getting to sleep last night sucked balls, got three hours of sleep (which is less time than it took me to get to sleep). First final of the day is the big one. It is going to be hard, it is going to be fast, and while looking at my grades it may seem impossible. If I get under a 51 on this test I don't graduate. I shouldn't, but there is just a lot to cover, and none of it is easy.

Then later my last and easier final, which I will be studying for after my first final. Which I have been studying for two days for, so I better make the grade.

Physical labor, pending the area, will get more than desk jobs. I know some friends who (prior to Obama) worked out on oil rigs during Christmas/Summer breaks. They'd make the equivalent to some one making 150k a year, pending they worked year round.

In the later years of his life my dad made $80k a year, my family managed to pay off the majority of our debt, we have about $100k worth of cars sitting in the drive, and the only major debt we have is a little left on the house and my car. Yet we have the money for that in the bank, it'd just break us to pay it off right now.

In other states I could see how it would suck, but in Texas (at least the Houston area) the average house is like $90-100k before you start getting into the fancy houses. Middle class is fine by me tbh.

My mother has a friend who is a controls engineer for N.A.S.A., gets payed $120k a year (started straight out of college). He told my mother "N.A.S.A. doesn't pay well, he'll probably only get $60, 70, or 80k a year if he gets a job here."

Hell, if I got lucky I'd be making what my dad worked his a[size=2]s[/size]s off to get just out of college. The money only goes up with experience too. The only issues I have is that in this economy no one is hiring for crap. Most of the jobs I see are for manager positions where they want like 5-10 years experience.

[QUOTE=Modern Iconoclast;17692534]**** you people finishing your finals already, mine don't start until Monday. :angry:[/QUOTE]

Think of it this way, we probably started school a week before you did. My Texas friends always laugh cause their finals are usually the week before mine, but I always start school a week later.

[QUOTE=Modern Iconoclast;17692534]**** you people finishing your finals already, mine don't start until Monday. :angry:[/QUOTE]

my finals week is supposed to start monday too, but all my classes had them early. probably because all the tests i've had are non-cumulative, and are more like a 'last test' than a final.

enjoy your finals!

That's probably the case, but my school is notorious for shafting us on stuff like that. Last year we had a full month off for Christmas break, this year it's 3 weeks. I was like "well maybe the year is over a week early", nope same day as last year...

sup bitches, back from my cost accounting final, my half assed studying paid off, because that test was easy. only one question on it i was unsure of, and when i acutally did the work right (i think right) my answer was the same as my guess so here's hoping i get that one right and get another 100% on a test in that class.

time to get drunk at 11am, inabit lod

So the one class I was worried about not making the grade in, got an A when I needed a B. Every one else must have failed the final miserably because I need a 100 on the final to get an A in the class, and I left two questions blank.


Not officially until I get my Safety test grade back, but I don't think I have anything to worry about there. Which means graduation b[size=2]i[/size]tches!


Now time to pack up my desktop and a bunch of other crap and head home.

hey look what i found

wheres AES

well that was faster than expected

a while back that picture used to get posted like every page of the lod becuase mx learned how to meme, and then one of the mods (AES) said he'd ban people if they posted it

so i posted it just now, good times

It was pretty good timing actually. I dragged my seedy arse out of bed and into the Lod just at the same time.

I had the office Christmas party last night. Highlight was when the office fat-chick hooked up with the office ranga. They disappeared off together at around ten-ish.
Right on!

that dude is grade a negro

party on gareth... christmas shindig tomorrow here shud be good

LoL'n at B& for WTF H4X

So I'm hoping that my Safety professor gives be a B. I got a 68 on the final, which you would think is bad. However I was 4/31 in the class. Which jumped me up to 9/31 in the class with a final grade of 74.


I still have a feeling I'm going to get screwed out.



Oh yeah, and I'm pretty much re-stringing/setting up/cleaning my guitars. Pulling bridges apart is so fun, I am not looking forward to doing it to my RG570 and RG1570. The floating bridges are already going to want to cut my balls off because I haven't restrung them since January... but then again I haven't played them since January.

Oh, and I don't block my trems when I don't play them for a while because I did that once and it took 8 hours to set up one and 7 for the other. I'm not doing that crap again...


Edit: Two hours well worth it, my Talman sounds way better now that I set it all up again. Not looking forward to the RG1570 or RG570 though. I mean, floaters are a b[size=2]i[/size]tch if intonation decides to be a dick.

I have a sheep doing roofing over at my house doing roofing. We'll put on some zeppelin and eat some CHHHEDAAA CHEESE.

Serious question below:

So it seems I keep adding springs to the back of my RG every time I restring the bastards. Right now I have 4 springs in the back of my RG570, which I just tore down (the bridge) and cleaned in hopes of reversing this effect, yet it is still high. I figured hey, this is because I didn't really screw the screws back to where they were (bring up the spring plate of course) and I brought the plate up about a half an inch and the damn bridge didn't go f[size=2]u[/size]cking anywhere. B[size=2]i[/size]tch is still above where it should be. What is up with this? Seriously, it isn't like I don't know how to set up/take care of the guitars. Granted I have been neglecting them over the last few years, but now college is over and I will be at their beckon call.


That and I always wonder why "stretching" the strings in fact makes the bastards taughter. That that is just me being me, hell I even added a 3rd spring tonight in my Talman (not floating). Though that was more because the screws in the back where like all the way in since I bought the thing second hand.


P.S. - I even dropped down to 9s again for my floaters, hoping that would help.


Edit: so after complaining on here my guitar decided to act rational, bridge went down. Now intonation and string height on a floating bridge guitar, <3 it!
