Can I just mention how I HATE finals?

[Beka]

I've gotten hardly any sleep, I'm going insane, I have too much to do, I spent 12 hours straight in the library today.

 

On a lighter note, the guy who I've seen around campus for the past 3 years and thought was cute asked me out today! We were both in the computer lab. Aw how sweet.

See, finals are not that bad?

 

I'm stuck with "finals" at college and it's a killer too. I have work, Karate, lots to study ... But look at the brighter side ... in some weeks you'll rest and have an accomplishment to look at

 

Don't give up. And try to REST. It's vital in order to sustain such a rhythm of study and work

I never had to worry about finals except in high school, even then if you studied throughout the year the finals are a breeze.

My sophomore year in college, I actually lived out everyone's nightmare scenario... you know, where you get the date of a final exam mixed up, thinking it's tomorrow when it's going on RIGHT NOW!!

 

I was busy studying away in my dorm room, when the guy across the hall that was also in my class comes in and smugly says, "I didn't see you in the test, did you finish early or something?"

 

 

I realized right then that I was missing the final exam, so I hauled butt over to the test and there's about 10 minutes left... no way I'd do any good, so I ask if I could take a make up. The professor looks at me as if to say "You must be freakin' joking!".

 

After much pleading and begging, he agreed to let me take another section's final if that professor agreed, and luckily it worked out. Made an A- in the class!

 

The class was Networks II (electrical engineering) - a prerequisite for my entire next semester!!

 

Finals are intense, to say the least! I don't miss them at all!

[TheDevilAside]

I'm supposed to be studying for Finals I have tomorrow

 

But I only need a 5% to mantain a B in math.. so no worries here. Boy am I going to be screwed once I get into college and I have to actually.. actually.. actually....... STUDY?!?!?!?

Remembering those finals is probably why I haven't started my Master's program.

 

Hey DLopez,

 

Don't become a cubical engineer. They are the scourge of the manufacturing/technical world as far as I'm concerned. Use common sense logic and you'll do well.

[DLopez]

Too late, already graduated!!

 

Actually, no cubicles for me!! We each get our own office in the company I work for. That's REALLY nice!

 

I get out of the office for on-site engineering support, working with our customers to help resolve issues with installation and setup of our product about every 3 months or so. It's great for dealing with office burnout.

 

There's times I miss being back in school, but finals week is not one of them.

Only the truly demented enjoy finals. And College or University finals are nothing like the trivial little ones in high school.

I hate exams with a passion - I've got mine coming up next week!

 

What with work, study, karate and all the other stuff of life I could do with a 48-hour long day and a 9-day week...

[Beka]

I've had to stop going to karate classes... I hate it. I practice my kata in the yard though... still, not good enough for me. Tomorrow night though...
