I have to retake my qualifying exam's theory of computation component in 16 hours, 47 minutes.

If I fail it again, I'm out of the Ph.D program and have more or less wasted the last year in grad school.

No amount of studying makes me feel like I'm ready for this.

Did they let you see the first exam to see what you did wrong?

Is it possible to get PTSD from reading 1984?

Maybe, what part is it that is traumatizing you?

All I can say is that's damn good fiction if you're getting PTSD from it.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I'm just scared that we're becoming like Oceania. I occasionally start really freaking out and do absolutely nothing productive. Fear of Oceania then turns to fear of Slenderman and I start drawing trees. NOTHING BUT TREES.

Need to make Slender-esque drawings and staple them to random trees in the forest for unlikely hikers to find.

I didn't ask, but I think the answer is no.  Not sure why, exactly.

They have old exams available online to study from, but no solutions.  So... not a big help there.  Well, it'll be over in 14 hours and 7 minutes, one way or another.

Good luck, for what it's worth.

Thanks, I'll need it.

While that may be a dick move, it is an amazingly awesome dick move and therefore has my approval.

Ugh. I have two baby relatives staying in my house ATM. I posted about this in the Rage thread already.
Anyway, it's 3:35AM and one of them just started boo-hooing from another room. I had my headphones on, and heard some weird sound as I was reading something. I pull them off and listen, trying to work out what it was.
Of course, my first thought was that it was a kid whining, but then the sound came again and with my single working ear I could not work out what the hell it was, and it really creeped me out for a brief moment.
And these bloody things hardly sound human anyway. Urgh.
