The transition metals are the most imporant elements around. They common and make up a vast vast chunk of our catalysts- if you're working with catalysts they are pretty much going to be transition metals.

My finals were a while back, got my results today. Got through 3 but fucked up my animal physiology exam something incredible (I got like 15% on it I think, I dropped from a nice credit average to 46% despite the exam only being worth 30%).

Luckily cause my mark on everything that wasn't an exam was high I get a supplementary in January. So YAY FINALS AGAIN! Or final, singular anyway. Still beats an outright fail though.

Hey guys, hey guys, y'know what sucks? Forgetting the formula sheet for your final. My consolation is that it was actually super easy so I'm hoping for partial credit regardless.

Just got through bombing my Spanish final. Damn this section of Spanish for being the same damned stuff I failed in English class in high school (past/present/future participles and other such bullshit).

So yeah, this semester has been sucking ass. That's what I get for stressing out and avoiding classes.

Transition metal chemistry was relatively easy. Finished in about an hour and a half. Only one thing that I had trouble with, and that was figuring out what to dope antifluorite Li2S with to make it a good Li+ conductor.

Group accepted my reworking of the BMGT 210 presentation. Most of group is asleep all week long it seems. I am the only one who speaks english naturally, other three are... not as fluent.

Group grade speaking presentation.

I have added something to my workload- I am writing up all the speeches, too. This is my keystone credit- if I don't get this, I can't do 3 out of my 4 next courses.

Done with finals for this semester. Now I just have a couple days of work-study to get through and then it's a month of being a lazy piece of shit.

Preface everything with all the axioms and proofs derived from these that you need to answer all yur questions. Markers will love it.

My finals were this just past week. but I'll list them regardless.

ACCT 730- Financial Statement Analysis

This test was essentially multiple choice and tested our ability to use ratios (which were given to us on a cheat sheet). We also had a final project due this week wherein all we had to do was combine the individual parts we worked on throughout the semester into one 60 or so page report and bind the whole thing into a nice format that he can read. He also told us ahead of time that the two options we had for this were a 100 and a 90. You get a 90 if it didn't look nice and a 100 if it looked nice. A for the course.

ACCT 505- Governmental and Non-Profit Accounting

This test by far was my most difficult. I spent two days studying this crap. Throughout the year my test scores were 68, 46.8, and 80.4 with a project grade of 94.8. After the second exam, the teacher gave me the option to drop the class with a W without penalizing me on my GPA. Welp...good thing too that I didn't take it cause I got an 84 on the final which gave me a 74 average, enough to pass the class with a C. Although, I went back to look at the test and see what I got wrong and I must say, I was impressed with myself. All year, I've been struggling with the multiple choice and I finally did good on that and made a bunch of dumb mistakes on the problems part.

ACCT 737- Systems II

This was just a project we had to turn in last week. Nothing big here. Got a B+ for the course.

Finance 762- Investment Portfolio Management

This was a pretty fun class, except the exam was a bitch. He gave us a two part take home exam. The first part was multiple choice which he had us timed to two hours (we had to complete through the internets which is how he was able to time us). The second part was an excel part which had 10 questions on it, but took 6 freakin hours to figure out what the hell he was talking about. Once figured out though, it was relatively simple, but you kept looking at all this stuff like "WTF?". I should be getting a B or B+ in this course.
