I echo what ima said but it really blows when you work full-time and take graduate classes at night! I finished up one class way back in October as it was a Saturday class but I have my other final tomorrow night and haven't studied much at all. And really don't plan to, either. Then it is 2 classes next semester and I will be done with my MBA. But I think it is safe to say that I have senioritis and have had it for some time.
Last final Wednesday evening; thank god I only had 2. Also my last day in Miami until January 17. Yeah, Weds night will be something. But first I should go 'study' for PoliSci.
All of my friends are done with finals, but for some reason all of mine are on the last 2 days that CU offers them so I haven't even started. This is brutal because I have zero motivation to study on the days off leading up to this ("I've got more time, what's another day?") and also because all my friends are out partying tonight to celebrate and I'm studying for my 3 finals I have left.
i've been done for weeks. hell, i've only stepped into a classroom once since November 15th. ahhhhhh, the life of a total slacker.
3 finals left.... last one is on saturday.. my freedom won't be truly complete until I step off the plane in Houston on Sunday..
Yeah I took my last UT Engineering Physics II (Turner) test EVER today and it feels damn good to know I'll never have to deal with that silly bull**** anymore. And Jacome's EE411 final gave it to me up the ass a couple days ago. Spending a couple of days around campus to play ball at Gregory and hang with a few lucky ladies then heading back to Houston for non-stop ball at the Y and Rockets games... I trust they were just waiting for me to get back into town to pick things up.
the fact that I have 3 finals.. and just typed that I have 3 finals left..... has made me decide to see how many all nighters I can pull this week.. my econ books call me..
That happened to me last year. Geology final at 7:30 am on a Sat.. Let me tell you, at 7:30 am, on a Saturday, it's just a d*mn rock. Nothing more, nothing less.
well i finished my finals 2 days ago but damn did my Engineering Analysis final suck. this is a math class. i am great at math. in fact, i've pretty much never made less than a 97 or so in any math class ever. this final F'd me up. counted for 45% of our grade. damn near 100's on all the homeworks (and they were long homeworks), an 88 on the first midterm, all down the drain because of this final. i may as well have not studied. almost none of the problems were like the homework, they were all hard, and then i managed to completely F up two of the problems i knew how to do about 5 minutes after the test ended. as soon as it ended, i knew i had my first B in a math class ever, and a B i got. so damn frustrating to go through the whole semester and blow it all in 3 hours. and i'm good at taking tests, i usually don't screw up the stuff i know and usually don't get frustrated during the test, both of which happened. pissed me off. Advanced Reservoir Engineering was damn hard, but that class had been brutal all semester for everyone. i felt pretty good about it and since i beat class average on the first midterm i think a B should be pretty safe at this point. hell, maybe he'll be generous with the grade distribution and i'll get an A, but i'm not holding my breath. watch me get a C somehow. the intro to geology for engineers final was a breeze just like the whole semester has been and the A should be on lock at this point. 1 non-A in a class my whole life up to this point and i'm about to get 2 B's this semester. grad school isn't that fun, especially when you don't have all your friends around to help with hw and tests anymore. finals time in undergrad were always kinda easy despite the pressure. i usually had only 4 classes, one of them or sometimes 2 would end up not having a final for whatever reason, i usually had a nice cushion for the A built up, and i usually just didn't give a damn by then so i never ended up studying much. even finals that counted a lot i'd end up probably studying for only half as much as normal midterms. most of my friends seemed to do the same. kind of like senioritis setting in but on a semester scale. grades have to be in by tuesday so hopefully it works out well but damn it's nice to have been done for 2 days. played ball at gregory, gonna play again tomorrow, probably play the next day, then probably go home and chill for a few weeks.
Last final last 7th of December. What did I learn? Not a single g*dd*mn thing. OK, let's start a MASTERS now...
Oh, and if you keep emailing your professors over and over again asking what your grades are, there's a possibility that they haven't gotten a chance to finish grading them yet. They just might have other classes and obligations. They just might have not even gotten the chance to put their Christmas lights up yet, and still, because of pressure from students, feel obligated to stay up grading at 3 in the morning when they would rather be in bed (and when grades aren't officially due in yet or anything like that). Sigh. I want to curl up and sleep.
Considering I walked across the stage and got a fake degree on the 5th and then took my last final on the 9th, I haven't done SHEEEIT since then except party and sleep..... Well, there was a lil bit of work in ther too I guess...
Got two Computer Science finals to take on Thursday (Graphics and DB) and I'll be done. Sucks that they're both on the same day. Sucks even more that Berkeley is going to crack down on "grade inflation". Not like my grades couldn't use a little inflation. I wonder how students at the Ivies and Stanford feel
