Find her an empty lap, fellas

The gods didn’t want me to get to my midterm thismorning. All of a sudden we get all this snow, it made riding my bike very difficult. I’m running on 3 hours of sleep right now so I appologize in advance if this post is nonsensical. All I want to do is sleep but I have a class in an hour where I’m getting back a midterm so I can’t skip. After that I have three hours before I have to be at a UAARG meeting. My exam thismorning was open book, usually that indicates a slaughter. The “open book” premise lures students into thinking they don’t need to know everything because they can just look it up on the exam. However the concepts presented in the exam are on a level that is abstract from whatever the notes and books can show you. Only knowing the material well will enable you to know what the heck is going on when it asks you what address 0xXXXXXXXX is. You can’t look up how to do that kind of thing in a book. I didn’t open my books once during the exam, which hopefully means I did well. I dreamt up lots of blogging topics while I was trying to fall asleep at 4:30am, but alas I can not remember them so I shall stop here.
