Hokey Smokes!

Three down, one to go. Today's Heat Transfer exam was a pretty fair test - just challenging enough to seperate the A students from the B students. That was all-for-naught, however, because the B-students had a golden parachute known as homework. Basically, Dr. Antar's philosophy is that you really have to give him a reason to NOT give you an A. Show up, get a C. Do alright on the final, get a B. Do at least so-so on the final and turn in the homework, get an A. That's how I understand things for now, at least. Anyway, I turned in my test & homework without walking funny, which is a good sign. We'll see what's what around the end of the week when grades are posted.

All I have left now is my Inviscid Final. According to Dr. Vakili, if you ace the final, you get an A no matter what. Fortunately, that's always my plan. Where I stand now is a decent mid-term grade, and what I can only assume are gold stars on my homework (he hasn't returned anything. Bad, Dr. Vakili! No biscuit!). Anyway, after reviewing material and old tests, I think I'm ready to rock'n'roll.

After my exam tomorrow, Heather and I are going to talk to Dr. Vakili about skipping town for Christmas Break. I'm all for leaving immediately and not coming back until the day before classes; I'm willing to negotiate the second part. Heather doesn't care so much because it isn't as big a deal for her to come down here if she's needed, but it is for me. I've asked her to simply not say anything. We'll see if that works.
