Anyone else doing lots of last-minute studying after having wasted the entire day? I've got one last final tomorrow morning, and didn't start studying until a few hours ago. It's the final I'm the most worried about, since this is my last semester of college and I need a C in this class to graduate. If I fail, I've got to retake the class next semester. :\

I wanted to spend more time studying, but I had to write a (group) paper for the same class, due tomorrow, and one of the members kept whining that I needed to come to school today to help her with her part. That wasted a bunch of time, and as I've had to study for other finals all week, I've been getting no sleep, so I came home and crashed. Next thing I know it's already 9pm; I get everyone's paragraphs and edit them into a paper, and start to study around 11:30. I actually feel pretty good about this final, which is surprising, but I won't be able to relax until it's over tomorrow.

Regardless if I have to retake the class or not, I'm glad this semester is over. WAY too much pointless shit assignments and stress.

 

[Lyte Edge]

What, is everyone else done already? I can't be the only one staying up late cramming can I?

Not going back to school until next fall.

 

[nomoment]

I have a final tommorrow too, and procrastinated most of the day...

It's a strange phenomenon, it somehow makes me feel better when others are suffering. Especially Lyte Edge!

 

[FoneBone]

I'm not studying, but I'm trying to finish a paper... I'm WAY too distractible.

 

[retardboy]

Yeah, I'm up. Studying me some financial law. Should be cake. I think I've aced all but one of my finals so far.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Nomo's comment only makes me want to make sure I do well tomorrow, so thanks man.

I'm not studying, but I'm trying to finish a paper... I'm WAY too distractible.

I feel like I *need* the pressure of it being the last minute to get papers done. Last thursday I stayed up until about 4:30am writing for my Languages of the World class:

-A 5 page research paper (of which I had only a few web links for, but it was easy)
-A half-page movie review on a film in another language
-Finishing up a 3 page paper interviewing a non-native speaker of English. This was actually the hardest to finish since I realized I hadn't asked enough questions to get three pages worth. Luckily it was my boss I interviewed and I knew a lot of stuff about him anyway.

I'm done studying now and SHOULD be going to bed, but I'm wide awake. Almost tempted to pull an all-nighter and study everything one more time, but that's probably not a good idea. I guess it's time for bed.

I should be writing these Final Exam Essays for my Introduction to Religion class, but I haven't written word.

Don't you hate it when the essay questions are nearly as long as short essay itself? For instance:

1. Ethical arguments, as analyzed by the Euro-American context, have traditionally taken one of two forms: deontological ethics and teleological ethics. Define... (and it goes on like this for a half a page)

There's no need for a fucking introduction sentence to a question! Its just going to make me feel insecure about my own intro, since it will sound redundant to what she already stated.

:lol

How do you get stuck with that shit?

 

[RiZ III]

Im almost done. All the written tests are out of the way. Tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night I'll probably be up finishing coding up a final project.

 

[retardboy]

:lol

How do you get stuck with that shit?

Haha, I was gonna take that too for a GE requirement. Taking human sexuality instead.

 

[etiolate]

:lol

How do you get stuck with that shit?

Well, American History classes in the past has really bored me. So, I figured I'd try it from a different perspective and see if it made things more interesting.

 

[ManaByte]

It kind of sucks, I have a while to decide, but I know what my Major will be but I haven't settled on a Minor yet.

 

[the_zombie_luke]

I have a giant 200 point geology test in less than 12 hours, that will surely school me. Yay for me! :lol

 

[fugimax]

I took my last final yesterday in Logic & Computation...failed that sucker...29/70. Had A's on the homeworks/midterm though...so I got a B overall.

Just finished a 10 page paper on John Dewey's theories of education in relation to democracy. Exciting!

btw, where do you guys go? Carnegie Mellon here..

 

[the_zombie_luke]

University of Wyoming.

 

[demon]

I have a real-life-go-there-physically test on Saturday and an online test due next Wednesday (those are my only two classes). I totally, absolutely procrastinated everything for the real class and will (should) be bustin my ass over the next couple days. Wow, what a fucking useless, bullshit class this is (14th Century Netherlandish Art History.....or is it 15th Century?.........ahh what the fuck do I care). The online test shouldn't be too hard. I plan on partying with a friend and getting drunk some time before that.

Oh, and I go to UW Madison.

 

[robox]

current time: 2:30 am
exam time: 8:30 am
class: database systems
i've been studying most of the day, but i've hardly absorbed anything... gah... i'm sure it'll all make sense to me during the test, i hope...

 

[FoneBone]

Well, I'm done with the paper... it'll need some revising, but that can wait a day or two. Bedtime.

 

[Mr Gump]

Finished my semester october 1.

YEAH.

 

[Tritroid]

I finish up my finals today, finally. I already had one on Tuesday which was cake.

My two today are ACC 202 and ECO 202. Mega-yuck.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I've been blessed with no finals before 1PM. My general plan of attack is to go to bed around midnight, wake up at 8:30 or so, kill time here till 9:00, and then study.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

oh god I have been staying up since Monday! I try not to study late though; its hard to do the exam the next morning.

5 exams are over, tomorrow I have final general elective exam for History of War (I love that class ^_^)

God I can't wait to start MGS3 again.

 

[Lyte Edge]

I go to Georgia State University, and this is (hopefully!) my last DAY of class.

Leaving for the final now.

Long story made real short just to mention the end

This is my finals week. I got sick Sunday night; fever, sore throat, running nose, etc. I had a final Monday that I was prepared for, so I spent the rest of the day resting, hoping to get better. I didn't. Tuesday I had to prepare for a final and do a ton of writing for a paper. I end up staying up all night finishing and didn't get to sleep on Wednesday until 7:30. I sleep for a total of 13 hours, only waking up once to take some more meds, which brings me to 8:30 today. I get up, take some more pills, get some orange juice and a bit of cereal. Time for a shower right? I do that, and as I'm getting out I get dizzy so I sit down and just wait and it goes away. I stand up again to leave the bathroom and get to my bed, and man, it went to hell. I must have stumbled a good 20 feet in total, I don't remember it at all. My closet has stuff strewn about as if I were reaching for something to grab. I end up waking up in a pile of clothes, my face hurts like hell and I had barely avoided having it crash into my alarm clock (which sits on the floor for a variety of reasons).

Ugh, fainting sucks and the way my face feels I think I'm going to have bruising and maybe a black eye. I have a final in 3 hours too... I really don't want to leave my apartment.

What a shitty week.

Man that sucks. Can't you get a medical cert to pardon you from the paper or something? I doubt you'll be able to do well on your paper in your current condition

 

[Lyte Edge]

Well, back from my last final. I spent a lot of time making sure I was familar with what the final exam review posted by the teacher on the internet had, as well as what he told us to know the last day of class, AND MOST OF IT WASN'T EVEN ON THE FINAL. He had a bunch of other crap on there instead; things are not looking good. I need a C in this class to graduate, and unfortunately I get the feeling I'm going to have to go for one more semester to retake this fucking FRESHMAN LEVEL class that has absolutely NOTHING to do with my major. Pray for me.

That's horrible. I hope you feel better. I got sick a week and a half ago and felt like shit all last week; last monday I had to do a presentation in Japanese and my throat hurt like hell. Fortunately I felt much better this week and over the last few days when I had finals I felt fine; I think I'm pretty much over whatever I had now.

 

[Loki]

Genetics final tomorrow (the lac operon owns me ), psych on tuesday (which I may blow off studying for depending on how my other studying is going, since I have a 99 average in the course up until this point; I should get an 80 regardless of whether or not I study, in which case I'll still get an "A"), physics and organic chemistry next thursday (shoot me). Those last two are the biggies-- I'm gonna try to get in 15-16 hours/day of studying for the next week, though who knows how that'll work out.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Hmm it's possible I may be able to just take a D and be okay since the class isn't part of my major. I really hope so...

 

[pollo]

just finished my history of jazz final...mu225 and now im studying for geographies of third world tomorrow (gg356) and i still have two coming up. EC305 and EC320, econ stats and econ of underdeveloped countries. I just handed in my final swahili paper and am almost done. Should be a good semester overall weeeee...

boston u over here.

 

[ge-man]

I only had one final exam (History of Modern China) which on took last Friday. I had a term paper and 2 takehome finals with some limited research, but I started early and got all that shit done easily during the weekend. I use to have a habit of procastination, but my stress levels really changed when I made the extra effort to prepare early. It would seem like common sense, but it took damn near my whole college career to figure that out.:lol

 

[Dan]

Man that sucks. Can't you get a medical cert to pardon you from the paper or something? I doubt you'll be able to do well on your paper in your current condition

Well, the paper was actually due on Wednesday and part of the reason I didn't sleep that previous night. Got it done though, which felt good.

Fortunately, today's final was my easiest, and I think I did fine on it. I originally didn't like that, since my first final was the hardest and we don't have a reading period so I only had the weekend, but I guess after getting sick and the fainting thing, it worked out better than if it were rearranged.

I've never tried to get a medical pardon, but I know my university is pretty tough on any excuses. Last fall I had to go to my aunt's funeral and I couldn't get any help in regards to a paper due that day. I ended up with a late and I would have complained like crazy but it wasn't low enough to move my overall grade. Still, it seems like a real bitch to get any pardons around here.

Oh well, my semester is now over and today's events will make a fun story. I'm having fun analysing my 'path of destruction'. I noticed later that I must have stepped in my laundry basket, as it was overturned and broken. I'm just really thankful that I didn't hit that alarm clock, as it's a sturdy 7x7x9 object and I don't know if I would've gotten up so quickly after that, if at all. Plus, I live alone, so that could have been bad.

That's horrible. I hope you feel better. I got sick a week and a half ago and felt like shit all last week; last monday I had to do a presentation in Japanese and my throat hurt like hell. Fortunately I felt much better this week and over the last few days when I had finals I felt fine; I think I'm pretty much over whatever I had now.

Thanks. Yeah, that sucks. Seems like you always get sick when you can least afford it. Having throat problems and doing a presentation is definitely rough.

 

[kgHavok23]

God I was up last night till 4:30 doin my poli sci study guide, and got half way through it. The exam is actually tomorrow at 9-12 am, and then I have an econ exam at 7--10pm. I think it goes without saying that I am not gonna have a very good day today. Both classes are pretty borderline. The good part is, I'm driving home with my friend right after our Econ exam. Needless to say conversation on the ride home will be filled with curses and screamin F*CK for every question I double-guessed myself on and got wrong. Yay for finals....

 

[Chony]

Just took my Matrix Algebra final, I think I failed

Next up is my English 225 final at 2:30. Good luck to me

 

[Lyte Edge]

HOL SHIT. I got my grades this morning....I PASSED my problem class with a C!!! I am now a college graduate!!! I can't believe that I'm finally done!

How did everyone else's finals/grades end up?

Congratulations. I should be joining the ranks of the graduated after this spring.

 

[Lyte Edge]

Thanks guys...I feel like openly weeping I'm so happy. I'm so excited, but also a little scared and also psyched up at the same time. I'm finally out of school and now it's time to become part of the "real world." For now I'll just keep on working my same shitty retail job though.

Congrats Lee.

YES NOW I CAN FINALLY ACHIEVE MY DREAM OF DOING NOTHING

(Well, actually...I think I really will be doing nothing until I find out about JET and that's not for several more months!)
