Like Lil_G I was 2nd out of my Prob&Stats exam which means I got an A on it...I always do really well if I'm one of the first few out cause it usually means I was prepared and kicked its ass.

Comprehensive Essay final about the socio-economical ramifications of Globilization in contemporary society didn't go quite as well as I would have liked, but I'm sure I pulled a high B, low A.

That makes four classes down, two left to go. Both are brutal, but I'm less stressed despite the fact my A or B for both courses depends on these exams, no pressure, right? haha.

Yes, understand completely how you guys feel ...
I have a HUGE model to work on, plus three drawings on top of that and a stupid swing project.
The swing project is ridiculous, we need to watch a 3 hr. videotape of a playground, and count how many individuals using swings, and the time ... really boring and stupid!
*@#*@^#&%!^:mad:

Check your PMs. :) Sounds like things are turning out the way I knew they would.

Everyone in my chapter is really stressed. EVERYONE. I can think of about 15 people who are being dicks because of the stress. Be glad when this semester is over.

Let me just say that I have my Adult Nursing Final tommorrow, and I don't know anything. Nothing!! My study partner and I are reviewing everything today, and I feel so unprepared. We just finished the Gastrointestinal section,and I don't remember a word of it. My brain is fried. God, I hope I pass.

Hey all, just take a moment and Chill!

I went out nite before a Law Exam to have a beer! I was getting mushy headed! Well, ended up sitting with the Law Prof.!

Puckered my Jockeys up!

We sat and talked Law!! Next day he kicked out 6 no necks!. Did not pass as were out drinking.:D

Go figure!

Do not beat head into wall as will get mushy brained!

Cramed and you are damned! Study and relax a bit. It will come back! The mind is the greatest Computer in the world!

Best of luck to one and ALL!:)

I HATE this time of the year! We start finals next week, but the week leading up to that is pure hell especially if you have professors like mine who like to give exams up to the very last day of actual classes. Nothing like studying for 2 weeks straight!

I can't wait until I go home!

Oooh, oooh, oooh <raises hand excitedly>

Can I vent too?

Yeah, so I have a chemistry test at 545 pm on thursday, and then a biology test at 1030 am on Friday morning.

Of course tommorow is the huge College of Arts & Sciences Student Appreciation Day that I've been partially in charge of running. It runs all day, and should be fun, but I could really use the time to study.

Of course as always, my girl situation is fairly screwy...I'm going to APhi's formal on Friday (which I'm very happy about) but the other girl I have an interest in is playing head games (we've been talking really in depth for the past 7 weeks or so, and I only find out this past Sunday that she has a boyfriend...).

I have three papers due next week, and another one is going be assigned thursday.

Finally, even things I can't control are adding to my stress... Like this professor who I asked to write a letter of recommendation for my application to be a College of Arts & Sciences Ambassador, adn she doesn't turn it in today by the 5pm deadline, which effectively prevents me from getting a spot. This after she told me last Thursday that she would probably have it in by the next afternoon.

I just do not need that right now!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I would just like to remind you all that the "Lucky" quarter students like me still have SEVEN more weeks of school!!! Yes, so although you have finals now think where I will be in several weeks while everyone else is enjoying their summers. But, Good Luck, I feel your pain... midterms next week and two 6 pg. essays due the week after our formal on May 4th. Not to mention the numerous events going on this quarter and I just started a new internship at a movie production studio that requires me to work 15 hours a week!

As in my own words at 2 in the morning last night to my roommate:
"Sometimes I wish I could just run away and live in the forest. Or just be happy doing some menial job... but NO I have to have aspirations (sarcastically)...."

AHHH! the life of a college student....

GOOD LUCK!!!!

I empathize completely.

I did the quarter and semster thing, and I think quarter's are SOOOOOOOO much easier. I hate the semster thing, I mean I like getting out early I get out tomorrow Yes that is right April 26 and we start back August 26. Craziness. anyways I wish everyone luck with their finals !!! It willl all soon be over !!

This week is my week to be stressed beyond belief.

I've got a huge Information System project due in the next 2 weeks - System, Manual, assloads of other documentation. Its a "team" project which means "do a half-assed effort and let Aimee clean it up at the end."

I spent 11.5 hours STRAIGHT yesterday doing a User Manual, becasue what my team gave me was just crap.

I've got a management paper and presentation due on the 9th, and my group members are either missing or illiterate. The parts of the paper I do have sound like they were written by a junior-high student.

I hate group projects. They don't teach you a damn thing, except how to find the bitch of the group who's willing to work their ass off for an A, and then rely on them to do your work, then collect the A.

I cannot wait for law school when my work will be independent for the most part.

So pretty sure sticking this Bic pen in my eye seems like a nice idea right now so I don't have to face reality in a bit. It's one of those weeks where everything piles up and even though you NEED to be two places in once, you curse the laws of physics because there is no way you can humanly do all that you need to do.


Tonight I have a mandatory class with a huge review session right after it. Yet I have to run out mid review session to be the finale of Derby Days and run back to my session. Have I mentioned that I have never been to a Derby Days practice and I am going to be alone on stage?! Then I have to START writing a paper that was due yesterday. But I am taking the grade cut because I had a midterm yesterday and another paper due. It is due at midnight tonight. I have a terrifying law midterm on monday. A class in which the text resembles OXford. Needless to say, not many have made a dent in the reading. The proff is so random and the content of the midterm remains a mystery. In addition, I have to present an analysis in front of my class on a play that I must go to reserves and read the same day. Tuesday I have another critique due. Too bad I have to go home this weekend where it will be impossible to accomplish any of this. Yeah, taking a full Spring quarter of credits was a brilliant idea on my behalf.
Ok...I feel better. 4 more weeks...

Perspective from the other side of the trenches:

If you know you aren't going to make a due date for a project, worth 25% of your final grade, and it states in the syllabus that late assignments will NOT be accepted,

Don't try to sell the instructor on getting a delayed due date, on the date the project is due.

I HATE that - I had five, FIVE, students try to pull that on me Tuesday - I haven't seen them in class for two weeks (we met in the library so I could help with the research portion - they decided not to show)

They aren't happy, because a 75 is the HIGHEST grade they could earn now - I refused to accept the late assignments....the rest of the papers I will be grading from now until three days from now, non-stop...

Stress just isn't on the student side of school...

I didn't ask for an extension. I took my grade cut honestly.
