Finals....

ARE OVER!!!
HOORAY!!
I had a very difficult week before finals, and then only one exam during finals!
I feel so lucky that I get to relax a week earlier than everyone else because my last exam was on Tuesday!

Now the littles get some times... and boy do they need it!
How are you doing?

Oi! I'm still doing mine... ... ...I have four exams done and two more to do (on Saturday and then on Monday). However, I don't think I have ever done better in any set of exams in my entire life before. I am on course to getting above 85% in every subject and, in some, I could potentially get between 95 and 100%.

How have yours gone?

SAME HERE!
I worked so hard, and I actually learned how to study this year!
Before I would just inherently know the material, and wouldn't bother studying, and do just fine, (usually get by with a B, or if I put effort into a project an A...
This semester every sunday I was in the library until closing, and In the practice rooms for 2-4 hours a day.
I worked hard, and I passed with all A's at95-100% (mostly because of attendance!)
I am so proud!

WTG, Both of you!!! Remember, an Education is something no one can ever take away from you. I think someone said that, lol!!

...yeh, you just said it

In my case, I feel particularly proud because I started doing Computer Science 8 years ago now and it took me four years to realise that I didn't want to be doing it for the rest of my life. So, I packed it in and started studying Biology. I am now on the verge of my degree and, well, whenever I tell people this story they are rather impressed.

Many people - I feel - go to college not really sure what they wish to study. They choose something their friend has chosen, or something that someone else suggested to them. It's hard to find someone who genuinely knows what they want to do.

congratulations lark! good luck to you chucky. i'm sure you'll do fine. i don't envy you. glad my college days are over for now. i used to study for a while then take a break, to find out which info i had the most trouble retaining. then i'd go back to studying. paying close attention to areas troubling me. worked pretty good, i alway had an a average. other than that, i have no idea how i did. many times i could even remember taking tests. weird. anyway, my degree was in pathogenic microbiology/ science tech. i only worked in that field for a short time. my passion has always been art. to bad it's hard to make a living at it. i'm still glad i went to school. now that i'm a tatoo artist, i use my artistic tallent and knowledge of pathogens to keep everything sterile and safe. getting an education is something you both should be very proud of. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! to you, for all your hard work!!!

love benny

That's a coincidence because my exam today (Saturday) was Microbiology. However, this type of stuff is my main interest in life and I'd very much like to get a career out of it. In the exam one question was about Staphylococcus aureus. So, I wrote a few pages about that. I also wrote stuff about Clostridium spp. and Bacillus spp., etc, etc. I love it all

Wow, congratulations!!
Very happy for you guys that it's over and you made it!!

I still have one more, but it's just one of those 'dudd' subjects: Business Management. My course is Biosciences. I dont know what way the courses are structured over where ye are but, here (in Ireland), there are always subjects in each courses that are very unrelated to the main coursework.

well... at my university we have to take GE's or general education courses in order to get a well rounded curriculum. It is a well known fact that music majors tend to skate by on these class with the minimum and get A's in all their music classes. This is because our major classes are double the work for half the credit... and thats no joke! 80% of our major classes are worth 1 unit in the catalog but even in the syllabus the professors state that the class has the work of a 3-5 unit class. And we have 155 units needed before we graduate, and all of our major classes have to have a B or better. Needless Most of us don't get out of there in 4 years...
But I know my place is in music education, at first I fought it, saying I was too scared to be a music teacher, and now I know its the perfect place for me. I love it.
