View Full Version : come here to bitch about final exams
i know, i know, college lol, i'm sure once i get out i'll wish the biggest thing i had to worry about was studying for a few tests, in fact, i'm already dreading leaving for that very reason, but that's not the point, the point is we all like to complain, and final exams are pretty exhausting, all things considered.
it's like, the hardest tests of the semester all packed into one disturbingly short week (usually combined with term papers due, but i've fortunately finished with all 30+ pages of those). i'm 2/5 of the way done, my next one is in about two hours and i just needed to take a break to bitch. come bitch with me, talk to me about how hard your exams are so i'll feel better about mine

i just spent the last 5 hours writing a report on the design of a wastewater treatment plant
and its still not done
not to mention my 2 gorup mates were working on it as well, and we probably spend at least 30-40 hours a peice on the actual design...
thankfully my last exam is tomorrow morning, then we are meeting after that to finish this report. then i will be done with exams for a while...

I finished all my exams last week biatches. Fortunately, I was exempt from two exams, and one class had no final. So I guess I'm more gloating than bitching, sorry.
No more school til January 18, yay (y) .

FINALS SUCK!!
does anyone else here feel like high school does not prepare you at all for college....like in high school you take a test on 1 chapter at a time....in college it's like 7 or 10 chapters at a time...that's too much shit to cram in in one semester!!!
and why is it that if you maintained an A average thru out the year you can't be exempt on the final???
the final should be the last attempt test to get your grades up, not sink em!!
The whole educational system is fucked up, CASE CLOSED!!

I really havent learned that much within the subjects in school.
What I have learned is how to multitask, how to make presentations, and communication skills. The one class that sticks out in my mind is Career Planing 494. Its a class that shows you every career planning necessity you need to know and you get to practice doing them. I'll take more from that class than any other.
It dont mean shit if your a 4.0 gpa student and have terrible communication skills and don't know how to go about the job search. In those situations the degree you have in your hands dont mean shit.

Praises to Presentations (y)

Here's my bitching:
HOW COME THE UNIVERSITY ONLY GIVES US ONE DAY AS A STUDY DAY? MOST OTHER MAJOR UNIVERSITIES HAVE A WEEK OFF TO STUDY FOR EXAMS, SO WHY DO WE HAVE 24 HOURS? AND ON TOP OF THAT, I GOTTA CRAM LIKE HELL FOR NAZI GERMANY BECAUSE IT'S AT 8:00 AM THURSDAY MORNING, WHICH MEANS I'LL HAVE TO SLEEP OVER IN COLLEGE PARK BECAUSE I'M NOT WAKING UP AT 5:00 AM HERE JUST TO BEAT TRAFFIC.
Um, yeah, those are the only things that are really pissing me off.

we only get "reading days", and by that they mean the weekend between the last day of classes (friday) and the first day of finals (monday). i wasn't aware that other schools got any extra time

yeah that's what we had. Last thursday classes were cancelled and exams run from last friday to this friday..having last thursday off of class though just meant I had more time to booze it up...
I'm at 3 A's down and 2 to go. :)
I feel good about finals this semester!

we had something called dead week, which really didnt mean anything at all. theoretically, teachers cant assign homework or projects over deadweek. but if homework or a project is assigned before dead week, its ok. and sicne pretty much all of our homework is submitted over webassign, all of our homework has been previously assigned. so, really, theres no break in the course work. in my chem class, we went over new material the last class period before the exam.

Not for nothing, but most bachelors would spend the whole time actually macking on those girls, and making a mess everywhere.

this season's bachelor kinda reminds me of q drop. he's a quarterback! yeah-heah!I think that one is from 3 years ago here in the US. Jessie Palmer? He was cut by the Giants and signed by my San Francisco 49ers as a 3rd/4th stringer. I won't ruin the end for you anymore.
i've got 4 of my 5 exams done now, and my last one is tomorrow at 7pm. i hate them. the only reason i'm not too worried about tomorrow's calculus exam, is that i'm in a year long calc 1 course, and this exam is only worth 20%.
the worst of mine, was the linear algebra final, which because of my terrible mid-terms, was worth 70%. i studied for 3 days straight, and the last day before the exam, linear algebra all of a sudden clicked (with the help of a class mate who studies by teaching), and as far as i know, i scraped by with a pass in the course (but we'll see once i get my marks back).
as long as i pass all my classes for this first term, i'll be stoked as hell...
college lol
indeed bob, indeed
