Texsox Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Andrew Hund 1993 Ode to Finals Week! Twas the night before finals, and all through the college, The students were praying for last minute knowledge. Most were quite sleepy, but none touched their beds, While visions of essays danced in their heads. Out in the taverns, a few were still drinking, And hoping that liquor would loosen up their thinking. In my own apartment, I had been pacing, And dreading exams I soon would be facing. My roommate was speechless, his nose in his books, And my comments to him drew unfriendly looks. I drained all the coffee, and brewed a new pot, No longer caring that my nerves were shot. I stared at my notes, but my thoughts were muddy, My eyes went a blur, I just couldn't study. "Some pizza might help," I said with a shiver, But each place I called refused to deliver. I'd nearly concluded that life was too cruel, With futures depending on grades had in school. When all of a sudden, our door opened wide, And Patron Saint Put-It-Off ambled inside. His spirit was careless, his manner was mellow, When all of a sudden, he started to bellow: "On Cliff Notes! On Crib Notes! On last year's exams! On Wingit and Slingit, and last minute crams!" His message delivered, he vanished from sight, But we heard him laughing outside in the night. "Your teachers have pegged you, so just do your best. Happy Finals to all, and to all, a Good Test!"

maggsmaggs Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I have two classes already finished, but today I have a final test (not a final per se.) But, overall not bad, a final in Macroeconomics and Media Comm. Pretty easy final schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 As always, as a courtesy. we are willing to suspend anyone that wants us to for as long as they'd like to make sure they don't distract themselves on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I really only have 2 real finals for my 5 classes this year. The other 3 are just another exam/paper. Really not gonna be a tough one this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Ah, the worst two weeks of the year. It's not just finals week, it's the last wee or two of classes when you have a ton of papers/projects due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 This semester isn't too bad for me. My research paper is done and I took my final for my other class about 2 weeks ago. Just need to complete one last easy project for Monday and I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 well, this is where going back to school in September really sucks. I don't get to go back home until the 21st; my final final (hehe) is the 20th. Fun Shtuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I only have two exams for my 4 classes. One was a final paper, and the other class, we just don't have a final exam. I have Econ tomorrow, and Ballroom Dance next Wednesday. The huge gap in-b/t the two kinda sucks. I just want it to be Christmas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Well, I'm going home tomorrow evening for the weekend, and I don't have to come back until sometime Monday since I have no class that day. I probably will do my Non-Western Arts final essays then even though they are due Wednesday. Tuesday: Macroeconomics final (The guy said if I fail it I still have a B- in his class. It pays off to have a retiring teacher!) Wednesday: Math 1270 final. Non-Western Arts final essays due. Thursday: Life Science final, Broadcast Announcing final. Out of here at 2:30 in the afternoon, I'll be home by supper. I've already submitted my final English Paper, so I really only have 4 finals.

WilliamTell Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I need to write a 15 page paper by next Thursday. I have 4 other tests between there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 This week Friday: Bio Lab Final Next week Tuesday: Bio Final Thursday: 7:30AM Care and Prevention of Sports Injuries Friday: 3:00PM Anatomy I hate having finals on the last time slot of the semester. Luckily I'll have a lot of time to study. I can't wait for next semester that consists of Theory and Practice of Baseball, Bowling, World Geography, and easy math, American History since the Civil War, and Computer Lit 2. I'm definitely happy I got down all my required classes so I can have a nice easy semester before my major classes begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The professor is outstanding, this is the second class I've taken with him. His Research methods class was equally exciting. The first four weeks was basically a review for me, Pavlov, etc. We're finishing with Hebb, Gestalt, and Tolman. When I stopped and realized the range of subjects, in one semester, it was impressive. I'm looking forward to a couple grad classes he teaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
