Planning another all nighter?
 
At this point, anything is possible. Tons and Tons of stuff to review. sh!t, and this one I got an early start reviewing on. I spent a couple days on theory, now I am just doing problems.
 
All nighters suck. I would try to avoid them by planning ahead.

I've done soooooooooooo many. I haven't met too many people who can compare. So from my experience, and Danger's, avoid it.

As stated above...:rolleyes:

That's what, about 1.2% of your final GPA? Or 0.003% of your standardized end-of-life achievement score?
 
Sounds like a fun time Cyrus. Maybe one day I will get to experience an all nighter as well :rolleyes:

Nah, its not about sleep, I wasnt tired. There was one section I was shaky on, and that section found its way into 40% of the exam. Dammit...

There were 5 problems, and I am 80-90% sure I did the last 3 right, which is worth 50%. THe first two is what's going to KILL me!

Stupid radiation and view factors...:mad:
