Exams: timetables, results

9/5 "routine exam" (called "vehicle handling exam" in Hungary, it's about completing some exercises on the learning drivers' course)

I have to admit I failed at the slalom test once, and almost twice I have bumped a pole

9/5 "routine exam" (called "vehicle handling exam" in Hungary, it's about completing some exercises on the learning drivers' course)

I have to admit I failed at the slalom test once, and almost twice I have bumped a pole

I have to admit that I bought 10 extra classes instead of failing... (I never drove a car before my first class, and I didn't manage to ask my father and my uncle to visit some abandoned roads to learn to drive, so the basic 9 classes were too few for me...)

F U C K off!!! I got only a 4, so the overall mark of my main subject became a 4 too (NMR - 5, chemical and biosensors - 4, IR spectroscopy - 4; last semester: classic analytical methods - 5, atomic spectroscopy - 4, GC and LC techniques - 5). I got very hard questions compared to former exams and the teacher hates me as well. Too bad, but after a single hour of learning it's fair enough... (although the average marks in PhD school have no important role, just the prestige)

Right now I'm studying for a Quantum Chemistry I test - particles-in-boxes, harmonic oscillators and all that jazz. Only problem is the professor has just moved the exam from tomorrow afternoon to tomorrow morning as one of the pupils had an unavoidable time schedule conflict (we are only four in the class), but to a time which another of the guys won't be able to come as well...  and so we currently have no clue on when the test will be actually held at this moment

Sounds like bad for you... A little bit more interesting thing is when you are on the border of quantum chemistry and analytical methods. But computional chemistry REALLY sucks.

But computional chemistry REALLY sucks.

You mean the "not real Chemistry" thing? yes, I've been there before  But on the other hand we work alongside and interoperate with several Raman spectroscopists, so the situation is not completely distant from what you mention (even if the perspective is mostly physico-chemical rather than analytical).

Thanks guys! You make me so happy that I will never have to do chemistry ever again in my life. And the same with physics, mathematics and biology. I'm free!

But then again... I'm also in a state of exams, writing two papers at the same time. Liberation is on June 10. Until then: discipline, early to bed, early out of bed, hard work. Good lucky Duplode! You'll knock them over.

Let me second that taking physics and mathematics out of the quote and putting history and geology in instead.

That's just because your history teacher had a crush on your ex-girlfriend 

But that's history now...

[zaqrack]

and your memory is still awesomely excellent

anyway it is really true. I hated history in school, but ever since I graduated I really enjoy reading some texts about history, especially about the development of Budapest.

[Chulk]

I would say Biology, History, Art history (Why on Earth did I had to pass that!!!). Oh, Cathecism as well...

[Duplode]

All subjects are, on their own, wonderfully interesting. The problems only begin when you are obliged to study them...

18th November 2011 - PhD szigorlat, damned hard exam, maybe the hardest ever (it has nothing with thesis, "just" an exam of analytical chemistry, optical spectroscopy and nanostructures. Sooner or later I have to start learning.

??th January 2012 - German language exam, damn...

??th January 2012 - German language exam, damn...

7th January. So close...

Na, dann mal ran an den Speck. Und nicht so viel Unsinn in irgendwelche Foren schreiben, sondern lernen, lernen, lernen. Du hast jetzt nur noch dreiunddreißig Tage, um Deine Deutschkenntnisse auf Prüfungsniveau zu heben. Aber Du schaffst das sicher schon. Viel Spaß und Erfolg dabei!
