Forgive me if there's already a thread like this.

The semester has finally ended for me. So happy right now. I can now enjoy my excessively long winter vacation. Oh yes, yes, yes.

Looking back on it... I have no idea where the time went. I still remember the first days in each class, the end, and very little in between. Though that's normal. I think the thing I will remember the most about this semester is how crazy some professors can be. Up until now I've either done my research or lucked out, but I had two crazy classes this year.

The professor for my business law class seldom lectured (and so therefore we had no direction), just made us do projects and write reports in-class, and then quizzed us during the intervals. He would then make our exams just in-depth enough to where we would have to write all the necessaries out on little cards and pray we got everything. And since we usually had about 80+ pages of material per test and the study guide basically said, "study everything"... Man. Meanwhile the class next door is breezing through the material and everyone is getting an A. YES. He did a good job in making a 3 unit class seem like a 5 unit!

And then there was introduction to statistics. Not the social sciences one, which isn't quite as hard supposedly. Either way this guy managed to cram about 12 chapters worth of material down our throats by the end of the semester, and though he went through it all I still don't know what the application of about over 50% of it is. He'd go fast and throw out terms that most of us had never heard before, then give us tons of homework with problems and applications he never taught us, so that could take hours and hours. He'd then put these all onto the tests. And man were those fun. We had to show our work, and by that I mean we had to do it in a particular format that only he knew, and which he only revealed partially during his 5+ hour reviews that took place outside of class. And then I'd have to do problems which, during the later tests, normally took up about half a page, but often enough one whole page. I'm a slow test taker, so I took about 6 hours on the final, but the average that time around was about 4 hours. Either way, I have never spent so much time on a class outside of class time in my life. And it was a general ed class. I hope this doesn't become the norm.

But they were both nice! So if I wasn't agonizing about whatever, we could have good conversations about whatever. And my Symbolic Logic and Economics professors were amazing. I learned tons in those classes. It is like they took all aspects of the course and aligned them into pure awesome. Especially Symbolic Logic. You'd think it'd be boring, but the whole thing turned into something akin to meditation. And economics taught me things I can actually use! Beautiful.

Now I have vented and can leave the bad behind! Do the same! Talk about your experiences this semester and whatnot!

I am so happy right now.
