I've got the finals next week but I'm starting to look over the stuff now. I absolutely hate comprehensive finals.

Comprehensive finals are the worst, the only profs that give them out are the old ones that have lost touch on what its like to be a student.

I'm lucky. I had my last final today. Had one on Friday, one Monday, one Tuesday, and one today. It was a terrible strech but I made it. :)

I'd be sleeping like a baby, or drunk and acting like one.

It took me half an hour to realize that my cataclysmic system crashes were caused by the use of && instead of ||.

The Othello game tree in my last project was brutal... memory leaks everywhere, the likes of which humanity can not comprehend. 2 days of debugging to make it run acceptably, and even then a 4 ply tree could take 200-300 MB of RAM and several minutes of 100% CPU usage.

I have yet another Assembly Language program due tomorrow. Already wrote two essays tonight (luckily I can bang out an A-caliber 5-page paper in an hour) but this asm is kicking my ass, even with an, ahem, "helpful guide" from a classmate.

I have Linear System Theory final in 4 hours. I've been up since 7AM yesterday because of a final yesterday. Didn't sleep because I have to cram for this exam.

sort of, It's not straight philosophy, it's more about stylistic elements. The class deals with greater philosophical ideas.. cause it has to in order to help students understand the text (although some of the texts themselves refute this point), but it's mainly style.
