Adderall.

3 papers for one class? did you not have any the rest of the semester?

I have a cumulative final tomorrow (40 lectures of about 60 slides each, and the accompanying 25 labs or so), then a Geriatrics test wednesday over about 17 lectures that I haven't started, and a physcial diagnosis practical wednesday afternoon that I also haven't looked at yet. It's not that I'm lazy, I was busy with 3 tests last week, too.

The worst in undergrad was first semester soph year, I had 3 back to back to back finals starting at 7:30am on Friday of finals week. The first 2 were cumulative (principles of bio 2 and organic chem 1), and the 3rd one was an open book stats final. I think I had a paper due that week, too. Needless to say, I didn't study for the stats as I was much more concerned with bio and orgo chem.

I got a 50% or 60% on an open book final and dropped my grade from a Strong A to a B. She made it really difficult and by then I'd hit the wall and no amount of caffeine was helping. Oh well, if I had to do it again, I still wouldn't have studied for it and focused on the other 2 classes.

We had 4 papers already and I've gotten A's on them all. Instead of doing 2 more papers he assigned us small assignments for every reading that we had to do then write an essay at the end. Obviously, I slacked and did them all last week. And damn, that day must have been hell.

western civ brings back memories..i took all 3 of those courses. i really enjoyed history but they were still relatively tough.

finals do suck but there are few things in life that i've experienced that feel as good as when you walk out of the building from your last final knowing you studied your balls off and are done with the summer ahead of you. you got a little extra cash from selling your books off and you can taste that first beer as you leave the building. so yeah as much as finals really blow it kinda seems worth it once you exit the building with the gratification you feel.

i guess a similar feeling for me these days is walking out of the office the last day before a vacation. knowing you have several paid days off in front of you is an amazing feeling. usually the last day before you take a lengthy vacation is like finals week in that you have 100 things you have to make sure are covered while you're gone.

Happy to be done with that. Finals are the biggest bunch of hell right before summer. But that cold frosty beer after your last final is heaven.

Sounds like my summers, I worked for Pepsi merchandising. Getting up for work at 4:45 sucked...a lot.

I moved myself home. But I drove a big car (92 towncar. Should have called it the S.S, Lincoln) and didn't have much for furniture. Also I usually took some of the stuff I didn't need (winter clothes, etc) home over spring break.

Amen.

Finals are a pain in the ass. My first 2 were on Monday, probably my hardest two finals as well, luckily they were spaced out well so I ended up just studying on Sunday for the first one and Monday afternoon/night to study for my 8-10pm final. Not quite sure how good of a grade I'll be getting on that last one though....Human Anatomy...

So my Calculus final last night was a total joke. The teacher came in (full on Asian), not that I disrespect Asians, because I don't, but seriously, can you please speak some english? Anyways, she comes in and puts this sign up on the board saying "Test is difficult. Don't aim 100% you pass if you get 30%." At this point I almost just left, and I wish I would have. That final was not calculus, believe me.

I just finished my last SPAL (standardized patient assessment lab). Got a 100% on the physical, we'll see how well they score my write up.

Test this morning kind of sucked. I've slept 5 hours total since I got up sunday morning.

But I have a Bell's Hopslam in hand that I've been saving, and to my pleasant surprise a Yankee game is on. Gonna be a good night, fellers.

I still have one test left but it should be cake. I'm not worried at all about it and I finished the 3rd and final paper earlier today.

I somehow pulled a B on that Calc final. Then again, a 45% was a B for the final. Man, that class is insane. A 25% to 50% is a C for the midterms and 50-75& is a B. I got a B on the first, C on the second, and a B on the final.. hoping for a B in the class with the curve.
