Topic: Two weeks until finals
Mr. Parcelan

This is it, man. This is it. I'm not going to survive this semester.

My horrible secret is going to be revealed. Everyone is going to find out that I have no idea what the fuck I've been talking about. Everyone is going to find out that I have learned absolutely nothing!

The only thing I've learned during my years at college is how to disguise what a fraud I am and now that disguise is falling apart!

I've got two essays to write and two tests to take. What about you?

Research paper on religious iconography in the ancient Near East, due Friday, which is essentially finished except for copy-pasting my notes together into a coherent form. Next week is finals week, and I'll have one each in Greek, Biblical Archaeology, Old Testament, and possibly Astronomy. Not really worried about any of them.

All my work is done. Now, I just need to study for finals, two of which won't take much studying at all.

My finals schedule is kind of odd, since most of the effort was preparing for the various performances.

Performance tomorrow where I'm writing a 30 second piece of music live. Week-long concert series I have to attend 10 hours of. Presenting 10 minutes of recorded music on Tuesday for the Amplified Composition concert. Performing two songs on Friday for the Songwriting class concert. Having a collaboration with a choreographer premiered over the weekend in 3 performances. Having a 6 minute piece performed by Pacific Rims Percussion Quartet on the following Tuesday. Presenting another 10 minutes of music for my End of Semester Presentation. Writing a 1500 word paper on the performance I'm doing tomorrow. Compiling a series of 7 interview transcriptions and reflections for my religion studies class.

Well, my finals are...

Wait... I graduated from college 3 years ago.

My advice, bullshit your way through any tests. You would be suprised how much bullshit is close enough to the truth that you would recieve a passing grade!

At least 4 (maybe 5) smallish papers, a nice chunky research paper, a project, and finals for four courses.

I have a term paper for my Chinese class, a chem exam today and I have some data analysis to do with the research I did this quarter (it carries through the end of the year when I present my senior thesis). Everything's going peachy keen so far though.

This is the hand-in week for everything. Next week I shall be mostly drunk.

I'm about to get fucked in the ass hard by two classes I'm GUARANTEED to fail. I haven't handed a thing in all semester, and now I'm just anticipating the fall out. Such easy courses too, I just stopped caring.

Oh well, Anthro/Soci and English are guaranteed A's (I hope)

I have a final tonight and a final tomorrow night. I have a 4.0 in the class. The only thing Im worried about is if I can stay awake through the whole test so I can leave for break early.

Have to agree with that, but at the same time I find that once you start thinking you're the mutt's nuts it makes you crap. I say that I haven't a fucking clue and part of me still thinks I got into university by fluke but it can't be that true since i'm still here.

4 papers, and a final test, in the next eight days. One paper just needs revising, but one of them, a 12-15 page paper is going to fuck me over since I have precious little time in which to write it.

That and I unfortunately slacked on my reading for my religion class, which just happens to be the one with the final. I've been doing catch-up reading, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it to the level of competency my professor expects for a A-B grade. And that's really unusual for me, but this hasn't been a good semester.

Okay, tomorrow's the last day of reading week. Here's my scandal for finals.

Monday
-Turn in essay on free will: Epictetus vs. Dewey
-Turn in final feature on the Constitutionality of Speech Policies
-Meet with my Race and Gender teacher at 10:30. Interestingly enough, I took her to task on the class today and she wanted to meet with me to better discuss what improvements could be made. So we'll either do that or it's an elaborate assassination plot, in which I'll need Karnaj and his baguette to help me out.

Tuesday
-Race and Gender final.

Wednesday
-History of Pre-Modern East Asia final.

Then I'm home free.

Hooray-a for me! I finished my final feature!

Now, all I has to do is do my paper on EPICTETUS and DEWEY.

I've got to finish filling in everything for my Teacher portfolio. Everything's got to mesh with the Illinois Professional Teaching Standard's guidelines, and that means I'm missing some papers for it. So, I'm currently typing up 11 different papers tonight that will probably never actually be read, but I need them for a grade anyway or else I can't become a high school English teacher.
