Jeoprady
So while in church I figured, I'd do some hard thinking.
Theoretically,
Given:
~ That all Daily Double questions, are both the lowest value on both boards (two one $100 and two $200s).
~ That the Daily Double questions were the last two question on both boards.
~ Maximum wagers were bet on the Daily Doubles and the Final Jeopardy question.
~ And if one were to single handedly answer every question and receive the correct answer.
In one game one can earn $176,400. If the winner were to advance to through the week, he/she could earn $882,000.

Round 1:
100+200+300+400+500 = $1500/Non-DD cat.
1500 x5 (non-DD categories)=$7500
200+300+400+500 = $1400/DD cat.
1400 x1 (DD categories) = $1400
Total for Round 1 (w/o DD)
$7500+ $1400 = $8900
$8900 x2 (1x DDs)= $17800
Round 2:
200+400+600+800+1000 = $3000/Non-DD cat.
3000 x4 (non-DD categories)=$12000
400+600+800+1000 = $2800/DD cat.
2800 x2 (DD categories) = $5600
Total for Round 2 (w/o DD)
$12000+ $5600 = $17600
$17600 x4 (2x DDs)= $70400
Round 1 + Round 2 = $88200
Final Jeopardy = 88200 x2 = $176400
Ken Jennings, (if he were some sort of super android from the future with super robotic-cat-like relexes), with 75 appearences, theoretically could have netted up to $13,230,000 during his winning streak.
My first semester of Nursing school is going pretty well. We are starting our "clinical" work next Thursday. I can't say that I'm prepared for it, but I am comfortable with the fact that it's nothing too advanced, like hanging meds and controlling drip rates. As far as I know it's just hygiene and nothing too much more.
I do have my concerns though, not necessarily on clinicals itself, but my placement in the program. Unfortunately a couple of my friends have already been dropped from the program. I really fear for myself too because I came in with a pretty poor GPA, and this semester, my grades aren't very phenomenal. I'll be lucky to pass Anatomy with a C (which I really need to stay in). It's just stressful when the professor teaches one thing and the book teaches another. So I really do hope I don't screw the pooch on this great opportunity. I really do think self-loathing and extreme depression will ensue and prolong for several months. I really do.
On the positive side! (And believe me I trying to see everything as half-full right now :) )
This summer I have myself and extern position at CAMC's Memorial Division on their Oncology floor, which I'm pretty pumped to start working. Luckily I have a new and very awesome friend working on that floor with me. The hours are not too shabby; pretty much come in whenever I feel like it* (read: felt like scheduling myself). Officially I need to report on that floor at least 8 hrs/month, which is not bad at all. But over the summer I do plan on working maybe half a week or maybe full time. Gotta support my hoarding-and-spend-everything-all-at-once habit somehow.
By-the-by, for those not in the know,
After forever and some, I'm now licensed to drive... for a month now actually.
...and the new Serial, that's "Season" for us non-Brits, of Doctor Who has started up and I am happy happy! :3
