I tried to setup fmoblog but it requires the imap_open PHP function. I sent a little support inquiry and was told it’s not enabled for security reasons. Boo. Anyone know of a good moblogging plugin that doesn’t require imap_open?

Well this semester flew by. I took exam 2 this past Tuesday in Electrical Power Supplies. It was another doozy with this teacher. I set my expectations really really low so I would get better then what I expeceted. I got the exam back today and got an 85% (with 26 points taken off). I must say this teacher has killer exams but is extremely fair with curving. I was going to be content with a 70-75% (with the unknown curve). Out of the 6 students there was 1 A, 2B’s, and 2C’s and one student is taking the exam right now since they weren’t here Tuesday.

The final exam is Tuesday December 13th at 7:45am. It’s 50 question multiple choice. The exams have been free form answer. I asked the teacher just where I’m sitting now. Going into the final exam I am guaranteed a B in this class. If I get the bare minimum to pass (the exam), a 60% (graded, with curve), I’ll end up with a 80.7% B. If I ace the exam I’ll end up with a 88.7% B. If I manage to pull this off the instructor said if he feels I know the material he’ll bump it to an A. Otherwise if I get the average test of 80% then I’ll end up with a 84.7% B. So in the end it looks like a B is a lock in this class which is plenty fine with me. It will be my only B since coming back to school after the layoff but a B is still fine with me.

Now I just have to make my allowed sheet for the exam and wait until 7:45 am this Tuesday. At least I can rest easy knowing a B will be mine. I know I won’t ace it and get a perfect so a A bump isn’t going to happen.

I also asked him about the independant study (where I got my Amateur Radio License) and was told that’s an A. That will put my semseter at a 3.50GPA. I haven’t bothered to calculate the full GPA.
