Exam week for me as well. And I am done with the two of the three exams I have! And I am feeling quite good about both exams.

Man, this session is going crazily.

I mean, everything's under control and done in due time.

I'm scared.

That's me,....if it's Creative Writing,...finished my final assignment a whole week before it was due because I had such a good story to fill up pages.

[up][up] This goes into the 'done in due time' category for me.

It means I remembered I had assignments to do.

I really hate take-home finals. I'd much rather just write the stupid final in an actual test setting if it means I don't have to write a paper instead. I have one actual final left, but I still have this paper to write that counts as the final in my Theory class and I can't motivate myself to do it. I'm just so done with this semester and all I've been doing is wasting my time staring at it but not really getting anything done.

I was hoping to finish it to hand it in when I go in to write my last final, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

[up] Really? I find it's harder to concentrate when surrounded by other people and a teacher.

Take-homes get rid of that stress,...and you can BS it easier than a multiple choice,or worse a math problem.....

My finals start on Monday,then I have two next Tuesday

The only one that isn't freaking me out is my take-home Creative Writing final.

Gog dang, our course leader got us good with that final exam. It was one. single. question. We were to discuss the development of the relationship between the Freedom to Roam and property rights, which had not been discussed in Work Groups, tasks or in the obligatory course paper. It had been brought up in Discussion Groups and on lectures, but I think this was the thing people were the least prepared to write about.

It was pure theory, so this is the exam I've written the least on so far...fingers crossed that I brought up most of the things we were supposed to take. Gah, really nervous about this one.

Paradise Lost analysis due in...four and a half hours. Discussing Satan and his parallels to the English Civil War is absolutely fascinating, albeit a little stressful since I'm not entirely sure how long this essay has to be. But since it's on a specific 60-line passage, I'm going to assume it can only be but so long.

And after that's done, I need to write four 1-page essays on various feminism topics. I just wish I didn't have to drop these off in person because I really hate driving to the university campus for such a quick errand.

Turned in my Programming Languages project at 5:00 this morning. I am now completely done with this semester.

@ terl. Both my take home finals consist of basically writing two term papers. I seem to have this huge inability to just sit down and focus when I have to write papers and it takes me for-freaking-ever to get anything done. The one I'm working on now is hard to BS because its completely based on theory that I don't actually understand.

At least with exam essays, I just have the alloted time to do it and then it's done.

Why the hell did I decide to be an arts major?

I PRINTED OFF THE LAST OF MY STUFF.

My book still came out badly (it reads the right way, but the text for the cover is on the back page. God I suck at making books) but I printed out the last of my comic pages and those turned out good.

I AM DONE I AM DONE I still have class tomorrow but that's final critique I AM DONE.

Damn my American Government professor! He only just gave out a review sheet and the exam is at 8 am on Monday,...oh no!

Well at least there's a big review session on it tomorrow

But you wanna know the craziest thing? Exactly one week from now,my flight will be starting to descend into Chicago where I am to have a layover before the final leg to San Fran begins. And in less than that is the drive up to Charlottesville.

Good heavens.

Finished up the last of my classes for the semester. After another algebra class an the second half of a chemistry class next year I'll finally have my Associates Degree(s). Apparently I've taken enough humanities and social studies courses on the side to earn a general Associate in Arts degree along with my Associate in Science (if I chose to get it at least).

is it normal to finish a semester of college and not feel like you've learned any of consequence?

That's exactly what last year felt like Wicked,...and I'd say that about this semester,...but I've developed as a storyteller,definitely good better and better as times gone on.
