Default Took my FE Exam...

Damn sucked yesterday...

Get up at 4am
Ride to Visalia
Doors open at 7am but make sure your in line by 6am
Test started promptly at 8am
4 hour first part so boring
1 hour lunch so I went to http://brewbakersbrewingco.com/
Had a lot of beer
Go back in for the second 4 hour part
then back to beer factory
4 pitchers latter at 8pm I'm done and can ride home!

I car pooled because I didn't want to drink and drive

There were about 500 people taking the test and a few went to lunch at the same place and were wtf with the beer damn stressed out people they take the fun out of a exam.

The reason it sucked was I had such good beer and can't go back for a while

I took it on Saturday too... it was interesting. Honesltly it didn't feel like 8 hrs of testing. I think it was because there were so many questions... But afterwards we had a beer pole/BBQ that started at 6:30. Lets just say some of us had to drink outside cuz our poles wouldn't fit inside

On a side note what PM section did you guys take? I'm a ME but I took the general PM section and it wasn't as painful as I thought

figures. damn engineers take forever to answer RFI's, take forever to draw corrections to their own work, never realize that a square doesn't fit in a circle, why would we think they could grade tests any quicker.

Took the civil part and it was cake. I was trashed afterwards it only took me 30 min to finish my first pitch and I thought I was taking my time.

Yah a lot of our Electrical Engineers said it was hard(thermo and other stuff)

I took it as well.

I intended on taking the general in the afternoon, but after reading the first 6 math problems and not knowing how to do any of them I did the ME section...wasnt too bad, at least I had seen all of it at one time. Not sure how to feel, it wasnt as bad as I thought so thats maybe good?

We are having our ME pub crawl this weekend, so I will be drinking then instead of last weekend....
