Cresting the hill

This week has been crazy. Three exam week, one was Monday, one is at 3pm today (I'm taking a break before it to relax... yeah right) and one tomorrow evening. Plus homework and and a project to do. And everything was due today! After today's exam I get to go down to the lab and demonstrate my project to the professor, and then I have a bit of personal work to do in the lab. Should be done by 5pm. I am officially declaring that my over the hill time, it's all downhill from there. Tomorrow's exam is programming, C++ and I am not worried about it, so I can actually relax tonight, watch some TV maybe. I'm a bit nervous about my Statistics exam coming up but I studied all the material, did all the practice stuff and just wrote every formula I'd ever used on my formula sheet. It's not hard, I am more worried about making a stupid math error on my integrals or something.

After this I should be able to get my oscilloscope working in the lab, then I'm going to order probes of my own and start working on my character LCD attached to a computer project thing...

This weekend is technically a break and as such I have no class Monday or Tuesday, should be nice to relax but most people are leaving and I'm not, so I'll have to fend for myself on both entertainment and food. Ah well, it could be worse, and I'm sure I'll find something to do. House marathon or something. Plus I want to get the ball rolling on a bigger project and this weekend is the perfect time to do so.

Oh and I'm an idiot and left my multimeter at home...

But once the scope is working it won't make much of a difference and the only thing I need a meter for is resistance and continuity. A battery and an LED do the continuity and if I really need resistance I can use color bands or something.

That's all for now. I'm gonna start to get my stuff together for class.
