R3V Students thread

Ah finals week. We missed more than a week of class due to the damage Irma did to the campus so no study week this year, had classes right up until last Thursday. Passed calc 3 on Sunday, physics 2 final is tomorrow which isn't cumulative and I have an A so not stressed in the least. Glad to finally be over the calculus series, next semester will be Differential equations.

Calculus never goes away especially if you're an EE major. Also here's the crash course to Difficult Equations: EXPONENTIAL'S



This semester kicked my butt :( Transferred to a four year school from community college finally and it's so much harder. I have Math Methods (class after diff. eq for EE majors) final tomorrow and it's going to be a rough one. Then I have signals & systems final on Thursday which is going to be another tough one, Then computer programming on Friday. I'm just hoping to pass everything. I need to really change my study habits for next semester because I can just feel the bad grades coming and since I'm a transfer student this is the start of my GPA at the school so if it's low it is going to be a challenge to pull out of.

But found out I can't fit probability & statistics for engineers in my schedule next semester so I had to sign up for it over the winter. Four credit course in four weeks? it'll be interesting.

Got an A- in my intro to sociology class though so got that going for me!

Yeah Ive fucked off this whole semester too, but I poorly agreed to flying to school and not driving so I've sat inside on campus literally the entire time.

Ugh this term was utter shit.

Overall, I put in zero effort.

Somehow was borderline with Vector calc until I got a test back on the last day of class that I epically bombed, so that'll be in the summer... And if I'm taking one, I may as well drop DE next term and take that over the summer as well.

Electric Circuits was rough (yesterday). I know nothing about that class, but between the assignments/project/labs I only need a 22% on the final to never have to look at it again, and I think I managed it.

Econ midterms were easy, and they're worth enough that I'm not worried about the final.

Stats... I bombed the midterm and missed a few assignments, so I need a 65 on the final to pass... and that's probably not going to happen.

Thermo/fluids suffered hard, but thanks to labs I only need a 46 to pass the final (9 hours from now) but I pretty much didn't study or try the practice final, so this could set me back a year (between thermo 1 and not being able to take II next term...)

So yeah.

On the other hand, me a civil dude I get along with well are co-captaining the FSAE team for the next 4 months, so that will be interesting. Hopefully will set me up for a few years down the road too if I can avoid failing out like a jackass.

Been seeing a couple slick E30's around the UW, anyone on here?

Ive given up the will to live already, psure ill pass everything, but damn.

[MF DOOM]

Last day of classes was yesterday. Finals start tomorrow (a fucking wednesday). So yeah.. Thats right, I get one whole DEAD DAY! And of course new content was introduced yesterday which will be on the final.

Additionally, I have a prof for two courses and what Ive learned is never take another class with him because he doesnt believe in partial credit..

Oh, and the sewage has backed up twice in the last two weeks and flooded my apartment with shit water.

[e30saam]

Haven't been on here in a while. Anyone on here go to Georgia Tech? Ive seen some rad e30s and e36s on campus. You guys should join Wreck Racing and help us beat on our 1991 318i race car, and help us fix our EG33 rear engined swapped Honda Insight and LS swapped e28 for our Grassroots motorsports competition in october.

I guess Friday was "drive your cool car to campus day"... Still need to figure out who drives the 318. I need some friends here.

I know this is a longshot, but anyone here go to University of California, Merced? Just graduated w my BS in Human Biology ;)

[Northern]

Is anyone here going to FSAE Michigan?

Apparently I'm going, despite being a first year - only because they need someone to trailer the car down... they're all under 25 so they can't be insured on the team's vehicle.

So turns out I received my AS in Engineering Science in December but since I was still doing another semester this spring I just never got back to checking my graduation status. So yay for having a degree!? ...Only took me 3 1/2 years at CC. I'm up in the air about walking for graduation this May or just get the degree and not walk..

Still in the middle of applying to a bunch of schools to transfer to for the fall, But I heard back from my number 1 choice last week to ask how my final grades went from last fall and from what the transfer advisor was telling me so long as I get basically all A's this semester I have a really good shot at getting in. Which is awesome to hear since when I spoke to him last in December for instant decision day he told me I was very on the edge of getting accepted since I had retaken quite a few classes, and my grades aren't amazing. (I was very negligent about my grades and classes when originally going from HS to college) So just a reminder to stay on top of my shit this semester! Although electrical machinery is proving be a little more difficult than I originally thought.

[CMBusch]

Hah thanks. Yeah time flies. I was able to cram everything into 4 years then graduated, moved to the Midwest for a year, came back, and have been living in LA for 8 months. College will fly by so make the best of it (not just the studying) :). My gf is finishing up her senior year right now, and I visit her every 2 weeks. So that's enough for me when I'm missing college, then I get over myself. :giggle:

That's impressive. I'm looking at 2 more years right now because I transferred, switched majors, fucked up, etc... I commute to school from home now and I definitely miss campus life, however living at home saves a ton of money and makes this whole E30 nonsense possible. That's pretty cool, you kinda get the best of both worlds.

Right? Just about the time I got into e30s. Now I'm studying in Vienna for a semester and I really miss my car.

Yeah I really missed my car when I went to school in Boston. I didn't get my E30 until I transferred/moved back home, but I get where you're coming from. Haha I was a freshman in high school in 2011, I didn't even know what E30's where and knew nothing about cars.

[Vivek]

Damn, 2011 was a long time ago.
