My finals are over. I hope I did alright. I don't graduate till Fall of 03'.

Man.. we start earlier than most people on the west coast, but we don't have finals till next week. That's ok though b/c all my classes this week except for two were canceled, so I'm saying up late, and completely throwing off my sleep schedule. Oh well.. Xmas and home and warmer weather is just around the corner!

Okay. Its 6:30 am, and I'm up getting ready for my final. AT 7:30 AM.

Its raining. No, its not raining. Its STORMING.

Someone found a way to make finals even MORE evil.

Who makes up the f'ing finals schedule? If I schedule a 10:30 class, its pretty safe to assume that 10:30 is a convienent time for me. So why schedule the final at 7:30?

Gotta keep repeating to myself "just one more semester..."

Okay, I am dragging myself out in the pouring rain to do a "finals good deed". One of my best students (I taught her in high school 3 years ago) missed her Spanish final because she thought it was at 2 yesterday; we had it at 9! She called me at home so upset, because yesterday was our last day of finals.

One of my daughters, a high school senior, is taking all her courses at another local college and she did the same thing a couple of days ago and the professor had mercy and gave her a late test. How could I not show mercy and do the same?

Soooo, here I go into the storm...:(

Carnation, you are AWESOME. I know of so many teachers that would just say "too bad, you're an adult, you should be able to read the schedule."

Reading this gave me a little bit of my faith in the educational system. After dealing with LSU, its all been shattered to pieces - I have terrible teachers that don't even know what they are teaching, and don't even give a damn.

Thank you for being different.

as of about 1:48pm mst yesterday I was done..woohoo!! I walk on friday!! :)
