Finals are Evil

Savor the flavor because the real world is no cakewalk either

But at least in the real world you get evenings and weekends to yourself. It isn't "wake up, eat, class, eat, class, eat, study till you fall asleep, wake up...". The joys of studying engineering, brutal. Keeps you out of trouble since you never have time to get in trouble!

At least everyone's finals should be done by now - you made it!!

Ahh, G2-4T's got the right idea. I'm just so happy to be done. For once it is nice not to do homework right away after dinner. Time for a vacation! I think I worked really hard this semester and therefore deserve to go to Disney World!

Well, it's finals season again. Mine officially start Wednesday evening and end next Tuesday. Good luck to everyone who's enduring the torture of finals!

The only final I am worried about is my math final. All the others are take-home finals. I didn't have that great of a teacher for math, so I have to study extra hard for it.

I remember math class. But I don't remember math. I know what it's like to have a bad math teacher though.

I only have two finals. One is a website, and boy is it tedious.

Today is my only day of finals, and my last day of finals for my whole college career! For everyone that is having more finals this week, there is a light at the end of the long tunnel that is college.

Congratulations! I'm almost there as well. I only have one more class ever. It's been a long, frustrating journey, but it was worth it.

But now I have to get a job.

Good luck to all on finals [professors giving ugly finals are all evil], and congrats to slotofkit and anyone else that is wrapping it up for good at the winter break!

Wow. No. I had waaaaay more free time in college than I have had outside of it.

I wish I had more free time in school than out!

Good luck to everyone on their evil finals! I am so happy not to be experiencing them this semester, but I'll be back to it next.

Yeah, I finished all my finals today. I had to turn in my last final to my architect teacher. We had to take pictures of buildings that have to do with different types of architecture. I did take my math final. It was alright, but I don't know how I did. My math teacher said to me that he would give me 15 extra points for my final grade and 4 extra points on the final. So I was happy to hear that, but I still don't know how I did. So I have to wait and see.

Well, Good luck everyone that is taking a final!

Hehehe, Wait until you're in graduate school! Then it's Get up, work 8 hours, class three hours, study. Not to mention Teach dance 1 night a week and take care of a house and hubby. Phew!

Luckily in grad classes, there are few "finals".... there are more projects in your slew of classes than actual "Tests"... Except for Stats and The Accounting classes. At least that holds true for the program I'm enrolled in... hehehe.

I'm free! It's all done for another semester. Congrats to all those who made it through and those who have escaped for good. I'm just so proud to be one of the few (27/50) who actually passed my heat transfer class. Time to celebrate with a vacation to one of the happiest places on earth. Disney World here I come!

I would like to point out that if you go into any IT related field your work will probably not end after an 8 hour day. I work many hours from home a lot of nights and some weeks I'm on call so its 24 hour wake up and go.

I agree with the above posters.. I had a lot more free time in colllege.
