Another glorious University of Texas at Austin semester in the books...well almost my grades have not been posted yet.
Now is when I look around and try to remember what I did with my time back when I was not in school. Come December I will be done. I am sure I will be hired immediately with pay that will make Ide cry.
:cheers: Congrats!!
Hurrah! :w00t:
Hopefully, you didn't annoy the professor with requests to move the test to days that were more convenient to you or post 'THIS' on class message boards.
And Congrats. :)

Whatcha studying?
Congrats, I can't imagine going back to school at this point. You are a better man than me. :showoff:
Time for a hot college party Valmy. :cool:

I haven't done exams since 1988.
Unless you count a prostate exam.

Do you still get that nagging feeling about this time of year that you have missed an exam. That feeling has lessened for me. But I still get it.

No, but I do get a vague "I should be starting school now" feeling in September that hasn't quite gone away...

I'm out of tears for myself. I wish you, as a non-retard, the greatest of luck in your STEM career.

I still have occasional dream where I wake up and realize that there was a law school course that I've forgotten to show up to even once, and it's April! :o

Yeah, I still get those.
That's the one I get occasionally, I wake up knowing I have a final exam but I haven't been to class all semester so I don't even know what room to go to take the test.
Woop, woop! (This is the first time I uttered the phrase even in writing) :hug:

Yes...that's the one I get a lot.
Yep, I get all those dreams. I think they are nearly universal.
Back when I was in college I got "dreams" like that a few times when I was awake.
Great job, Valmy!! And so happy for you that you've only got another six months before you're done! :hug:
I managed a B in my one class this semester. *sighs* I'm taking MS Access online this summer, which should be a nice, easy A, except that it's going to be mostly projects, and I hate projects. Then, two of my hardest classes at the same time this fall. :ph34r:

He's saying he recently got text-to-talk or something. :unsure:
Thanks guys :hug:
I am now hitting F5 about once an hour to see if my final grade has been posted. An A- in Engineering Design and a B in Circuit Elements and Design so far. That is about Par for the Course for me. If I pass Power Systems I have some big decisions to make and it will be time to start studying for my Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
Weirdly I got those school nightmares all the time until I went back to school. I wonder if they will return when I graduate :hmm:
Well done, sir!
GL bro. :cool:

I'm still having them, just with less frequency as time goes on.
Congrats & good luck. Just remember us when you are in power :P
Heh, I was talking with a friend at work today and we both had occasional "being in school again" nightmares. Is it common then? :lol:

Yup, very.
My guess is that for a lot of people, exams in school (or school in general) are their first significant exposure to stress, leaving a lasting impression.
Well there is wonderfully acted scene by Val Kilmer from Top Secret:

I never have nightmares about school. :hmm:

Say, you guys, also get the dream you're having sex with five big black men whilst driving a black pick up truck flying Confederate flags? I"m sure we all get that one all the time.

Real Genius was a much better movie.
The other real common dream I used to have was I'm in high school or junior high and around 2nd period or so I realize I forgot to put on any pants.
Power Systems grade came in: A-. Two A-s and a B. Not too shabby.
Now I need to scrape together enough money for next year, quit my job, and pass the FE exam all before class starts.
Quit your job? With your STEM degree, you will lord it over your fellow employees. You go into that boardroom and throw your boss out the window. You're the Robocop now.

I have to, my stupid senior design class requires 10 hours a week during the work day. So I get to go into debt :bleeding: but not very much fortunately.
I don't have the degree yet :P
I guess you can come back and throw your boss out the window. You have that power.
Put your boss in the air and toss him like you just don't care.
According to ICE, I have a STEM degree.
