I have two more finals tomorrow (Environment and Conservation, Fisheries Policy and Management) and then I'm celebrating my freedom by going to WDW next week! Yaaaay! It's the only thing getting me through this...

I have only one this semester and it's going to require a lot of reading and a lot of procrastination since I am very notorious for that.

Sorry but I don't miss those day at all! I have a double major undergraduate and an MBA. I also don't miss my waitress job. Sometimes I still have nightmares that I am the only waitress and a huge bus pull up....used to feel like I worked all night!

Wow 200 posts! I just changed jobs too!

we never really had "finals" in culinary school. we didn't have the traditional "semesters" that other schools have, we went in 38 day cycles. our tests were more practical exams, with the exeption of the side courses (math, culinary supervision, nutrition, wine, etc). in those classes we had projects and presentations.

though I missed out on the tradtional "college experience", I can't say I missed out on the high tuition and the rigid structure of university life...

OMG as the only waitress at a small restaurant I know what you mean! I HATE Sundays because about 100 people pile in at once after church and I am expected to deal with them all simultaneously.... makes me want to start cursing them.

Good luck on your test today!
Isn't that the worst feeling waiting on a large group like that all at once! We used to get crushed after high school football games and have to wait on young kids and make milkshakes and desserts ourselves....then they left no tips too!

I know it!! I've noticed that on Sundays, if I don't get people what they want the split second they ask for it (unless it's a regular customer who ends up tipping more than usual), they leave a dollar or won't tip at all. I had a group come in once and order $30 worth of food and leave a $1 tip!

The snow caused my psychology final to be canceled so I take it Monday.
Then I'm done!

You will have more time to study but I'm sure you want it over with now! We got dumped on with snow last night and it wasn't really supposed to accumulate. 3 fresh inches. I woke up to the sound of the snow plow at 2:30 am. Our road crews did an awesome job!

Thank goodness finals are over for me. I couldn't take another late night studying. The only good thing about staying up late to study is you get the request stream all to yourself! I had some great music to get me through it.

I'm so glad my final is over though I'm sure I failed it, aha. I did get a perfect score on one of my projects so that was a plus!

Sounds like most of you are all done, but for anyone left, good luck with the rest of the finals! I must say I don't miss it one bit and am glad to be in the 'real world' right now!

I don't know, being in the 'real world' is what has brought me back to school and dealing with finals again. Of course, I am not at a point where I have to deal with both, can't survive off of JUST financial aide. Oh well, not too much longer and I can go back into the true 'real world' and not have to worry about finals.
