Topic: Finals are coming

Are you prepared?

There's about three weeks left of school for me and I'm more worried than ever before.

I know I freak out every time the end of a semester rolls about, but I think I have good reason to this time. Despite forsaking alcohol, it's been an exceedingly tough semester for me. I was forced to drop two of my classes and I haven't been the most dilligent attender of my remaining three. Just today, I slept through my alarm and missed my afternoon class.

Regardless, I think the finals will be...okay. I also have a few term papers to write, which sucks. Hopefully I'll do well.

What's your end-of-school story?

Botany II: Genetics
I have to write a paper on "the Pentagon of life."
Powerpoint Presentation on the Hazel Family of plants.
Take home exam to be emailed to the professor. (That one's easy.)

Social Problems
Easy final exam that the students make up the questions for.

Shakespeare
Final Paper due on King Lear or Macbeth or some shit.

Spanish
Oral comprehension test and final exam.

All in all, I've had much harder finals.

There's a Blind Man looking for a shadow of doubt.
There's a Rich Man sleeping on a golden bed.
There's a Skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

According to Northern Arizona University, I'm almost fluent in Spanish.

I just studied for an Algebra test and went in to discover that it was next week, and my difficult Calculus test was now. I hadn't attended the class for a while and was planning on studying for a good 6 or 7 hours before the test to catch up. Needless to say, I failed miserably.

Two to go and I'm done on the 28th.

For those who are taking classes/exams into mid-May: When did your Winter term start? Ours was on the 11th or so. Just wondering if you simply have more classes per semester.

He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they grew up in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. No one has ever seen him again. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. 'If you rat on your pop, Keyser Soze will get you.'

Looking good on finals so far, the only one I'm a little edgy about is chem, and that's just because it encompasses such a massive part of the course.

All I have to do is pass one of my four classes and I graduate with two degrees. I am not worried.

I have my final creative writing portfolio due tomorrow. Next Saturday is my calc final, and I have to turn in my final test (take home tests are luv)on Monday. We have our last Oral Test in French in Thursday and next Thursday is our final exam there.

Then I'm done until August. Not taking anything this summer. It's hard enough going full time school and full time work in a normal semester, but five weeks would kill me.

German translates to shitting in sock drawers?

This semester has been blessedly easy, for some reason. Even though I hardly study or take notes, I've been getting A's and high B's on all my tests, and there's barely any homework to not complete, anyway. I guess my "hardest" class is Video Game Design, and that's just because there's so much to do in it. My teacher is funny, though--in the last assignment summary, he says "Skip not the odd exercises, my padawins." Yeah, that made me crack up, at least.

I have to work full time in the summer, though. That's gonna be fun.

Well, my last lecture was yesterday and much drinking took place last night. Now we have assessments (Because there is no such thing as a photography exam) and then we're prety much finished until September.

My essays are all finished and handed in and all I need to do is mount my photography work, finish the digital media stuff I haven't touched since I started the year and sit for 15 minutes whilst my patronising bitch of a video lecturer rips my short film to shreds in front of the course leader.

Finals start the week after next. I'm gonna get demolished by them, especially Diff Eq.

Grades aren't too hot this semester. My mind is slipping, and putting more time in is just not cutting it.

I'm still passing though. So I have that much, at least!

Deth and I both work full time now, and go to school full time. It's rough. I'm exhausted some weeks.

I have to take one final this year because I'm exempting all my other one's. Trig is the bane of my All A's in Senior Year existance.

Six weeks or so till exams for me...it's been crushingly difficult, and has been occupying almost all of my time, but I should excel. I've learned a great deal.

I take finals for this particular semester in like, a month. However, I take the hardware half of the A+ exam today at 12:15 CST. I do believe I am plenty prepared.
