Vibes Request!

If you have any spare vibes around, send 'em my way - about to take a three-hour final in Differential Equations!
Bright side: this will be the last math test I'll ever have to take (excepting Graduate School if that's where I end up).

Vibes, but why in the hell are you taking differential equations? You're not an engineer (or math major), are you? I was an engineer and I never took it. It would have been my 5th required math course, but having a Management Science second major, Statistics for that major counted as my 5th math course! Would I have benefited from taking differential equations? Perhaps, but since I graduated without it and don't do "real" engineering work, I don't think so!
Anyway, here's your vibes!

Oh hell I hated differential equations with the heat of a thousand suns!
Vibes!

I hope you felt all went well. I was off duty when you requested vibes. I know you. You were prepared. You will be moving on to the next step in your coursework just fine.

Well I was vibrating anyway but didn't see this until it was too late. (Computer was down.) Hope it all went smoothly, Darlin'.
For what it's worth, I didn't contribute good math genes to your pool. When I went to Illinois I remember asking the adviser if they had a major that didn't require math AT ALL! That's how I wound up in Liberal Arts. I ended up with my MRS so it worked out well in the end or you wouldn't even be here.
Love, Ima

Wasn't a pleasant experience, but I survived (I think). Thanks for the vibes!

I'm late to the vibe party, but I'm happy you have this class in your rear view mirror.
I'm certain you did well.

That's today! Last final is Computer Organization and Design (Architecture, essentially). Woo-hoo!

I did NOT send vibes... I received a D in Calc 32 way back when, so vibes from me might be the WORST thing you could get. ;)
But I really do hope all went well.

Ugh, I second the tall guy - you didn't want any vibes from me this time! I had to take DiffEQ twice, to get a grade that counted against my engineering major. Hope for you, first time was the charm.
If/when you start to look for summer internships, and if you're interested in seeing what it would be like working for a large software company in Redmond, WA, shoot me a private message.

Too bad I didn't see this sooner. Diff Eq was my best math class in college . Vibes for good grades all around!

WOW! That's an offer he can't, or shouldn't, refuse!

Cheerson can help with that as well. He interned there as a PM and has coached several Duke students for their PM and developer interviews. Let me know if you want his assistance.

Good thing you are not an engineering student now. They have to take 6 math courses including differential equations and calc-based statistics.
