Let's hear it!

Congrats! 

Meh, I can't even fathom the idea of children at this time... I'm still at point A trying to get to point B, forget point C.

I can barely fathom the idea of life after undergrad. It's terrifying.

Well, there's always grad school.  But I have a feeling that you'll actually prefer life after undergrad.  There are lots of interesting opportunities.

Yeah. I'm not sure what graduate schooling I'd like to do.

Physics? Really have close to no interest in the subject. The rigorous 4 year crash course in algebra (that the university calls a physics program) only made me realize nothing in physics is worth the tiny bit of money you can make doing research in it. I'm definitely not that great at it -- it's not for me. It's interesting, but it's not something I'd like to study.

A similar story for CS, but a bit more interest in the subject and a better grasp of the subject material.

Ideally I'd like to blend the two fields for a graduate program (some research in quantum computing comes to mind) but I wouldn't even know where to begin hunting down viable programs for me to apply to, given my lack of actual research experience and my pathetic 3.3 GPA.

I'd rather take my degrees/work experience (which I have a solid amount of) and get a sweet job somewhere. But that's terrifying too. Real responsibilities? Boo!

Thanks all   If anyone wants more details, I'd be happy to share in a less public setting.

Your room, tonight?  I'll be there.

A foursome? This is going to be awkward...

So I got diagnosed with migraines ~6 months back or so.

Never really thought them a huge deal. They forced me to lie down in a dark room and roll back and forth in pain until I passed out. Shitty, but they do no physical damage to me, so whatever. They occasionally cause me to vomit, but alcohol causes that way more frequently so the vomiting aspect of them wasn't much worse than the pain.

Then I got back to school. I started getting them nearly every other few days. I eventually got used to the pain and just dealt with it when they did happen. Then I started getting them while doing schoolwork on campus. And I thought, gee, there's no way they could get more inconvenient than that.

That is, until one happened during my final exam 3 hours ago. If there is a God, he wants me staying a full fifth year in college. Damn I hope I passed that exam/class. I think I'll be scheduling an appointment with a specialist relatively soon.

Worst part? I've got another final in an hour. I'm hoping I don't get one there too. But given that I've had two today (one this morning around 130am prior to the final exam one) it wouldn't surprise me too greatly. Bleh. :/

isnt weed supposed to help?  I'm not saying get fucked up, but maybe a THC pill?

Doesn't' your school have provisions for that? I know that if you tell your professors about that ahead of time here (eg: start of semester) they give you extra time if you have medical problems during.

Most likely. I'm gonna go to on-campus health services and ask what I should do if this happens. For now I'll deal with it if it happens during my last final... which is proving impossible to get motivated for.

Covering one of my favorite Tool songs. Very excited to see them live in January, and greatly anticipating their next record.

At my folks' for the break.  It snowed/is still snowing.  My dogs love it.

It's like, unseasonably warm here. This may be the first Xmas where you can see the grass in most places!

I dunno about warm but there's no snow here. It's about normal though, 0-20F.
