Finals

[malt_geckos]

FINALLY! College finals are almost over!! I have one more tomorrow and Matt has one tomorrow and Thursday! What a pain in the ba-tooty. I can't wait to get out of college and get on with my career.

 

[Greyscale_Geckos]

Woohoo! I'm in college as well and I have to say that there is nothing like the relief I feel after finals end. This term has been so stressful, and I can't wait until it's over. I have two finals left on Thursday.

I second that. I can't wait to get out of college. (I'm enrolled in a diploma program that enables me to not have to go to high school and instead earn a diploma and credit for my undergrad work at the same time). Honestly though, graduation will be sweet when it rolls around.

 

[Leopardbreeder]

Yeah! Me too! I want a piece of this action! lol

Really though, all of my semesters finials are coming close and I am getting stressed. (Even though I am in 8th grade.)

I thought finals were bad in undergrad. Then I made it to vet school this semester. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have six finals, four of which are insanely hard. I've slept an average of 4 hours/night for the past week, and I doubt I'll sleep much at all till Friday night...

It'll be worth it, but it sure isn't fun in the meantime...

Alicia, Matt is majoring in aeronautical engineering, and I am going to major in the dietetic program, and get my certificate to work on pediatrics as well....so, we will be feeling your pain next year. We get into the good stuff next year.

 

[TWC]

i know what you mean, i have a couple more years unfortunately. but my finals were surprisingly easy this year.

 

[moosassah]

Best of luck to all of you. 4 hours of sleep isn't too bad. Hang in there!

 

[ataber]

i havent been sleeping for more then 5 hrs at a time for the past few weeks...only one more final to go though. good luck to the rest of you!

 

[OSUgecko]

Thanks guys. Matt and Mallorie, you're right, you are gonna have fun. Good luck to you both, those are neat majors.

One of my best friends is an aero engineer, and he doesn't get much sleep either, but he loves what he does. Last night he was writing propulsion-themed haikus for extra credit in his propulsion class, lol.

 

[malt_geckos]

Thanks for the best wishes all!

Today we went in for a final (we have the same class together) and we thought the final was at 10:10 AM (damn these final schedules)...well turns out it was at 8:00 AM...OMG!!!!!!! lol. Our professor was nice enough to let us take it anyway.... feeewww!


*BIG SIGHS OF RELIEF* I am done for now! Matt only has one left!

Alicia, propulsion haikus?! That sounds like fun. lol.... Yeah, Matt's not too much into the propulsion part...he's more into the design aspect of creating new stuff that can fly. lol.

 

[OSUgecko]

So's my friend. But propulsion was a necessary course, so he took it.

I wish I could remember some of the haikus; they were hilarious! He incorporated a few formulas into them, something about strapping a rocket to a bicycle, star trek, etc... He's really creative.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt for coming late to a final. Professors are generally nice. BTW, it's kind of funny, but my same A-engineer friend had a computer class final that he was late for... thought it started like 45 minutes after it actually did. He realized what had happened, walked in to take the test, finished it in under 30 minutes, left before anyone else in the class did, and got a 105% on it. LOL he's brilliant! Wish I was like that...

 

[malt_geckos]

OMG! I wish I could get a 105% on a final!

 

[Select Gex]

Man oh man, finals during summer school weren't anything to worry about, but I only took two classes. My first semester in college and finals really impressed me, the campus transforms into a different place and people act so weird. I didn't try too hard, because most of my finals weren't worth enough to bump me to an A, so I had to make a minimal grade to keep my Bs.. but I am still exhausted just thinking about it, I can not imagine what people who didn't sleep or eat are feeling right now. Crazy!!

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Ahhhhh yes... I remember finals all to well! Honestly, if I had to do it all over again, there is no way I could at my advanced age. Good thing you guys are young! Just wait until you have your first baby, and you'll really know what sleep deprivation is. :tired:

 

[Kotsay1414]

Well, I got my second final of the semester today at 10am... Intermediate Accounting. Then tomorrow I have two more, then I'm done

 

[goReptiles]

i have 1 left- statistics 1. ... no hopes at all. the entire class has and average failing grade. I've only passed 3 quizzes, so the final will be more than likely another failing grade. no worries, i'm already registered to retake it with a different teacher.

 

[Zbiz]

Yup I just finished my finals last night... THANK GOD its over! 1000 years of art history all balled up into one test, wooooooot wat fun! NOT!

 

[OSUgecko]

No... more... anatomy... class... this... year. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz.........................................

 

[Gecko]

The trick is to actually sleep well the night before. You actually will encode the info into your longterm memory. Then you can cram the rest into short term the morning of

 

[ALGeckos]

I am SO glad I graduated already and don't have finals! Hehehe. My brother just finished his and he's out celebrating his birthday AND end-of-semester right now

This feeling won't be for long though, since I plan on pursuing my masters
