Soooo, finals is here for all of us college people and posting will slow to even more of a crawl it seems.

Here is my checklist until end of semester:


- Calc 2373 Exam
- Physics 2503 Exam
- Calc 2372 Lab Report
- History of Rock and Roll Final Paper (harder than you'd think)
- PE 1013 Final
- Calc 2373 Final
- Physics 2502 Final
- AEM 2011 (Statics) Final
- History of Rock and Roll Final

Good luck! "History of Rock and Roll" sounds like a cool class.. I'm imagining the final exam as a practical, involving Guitar Hero :D

Well at least it isn't another game of Minnesota football, so I say you're doing okay!

Them's fighting words

Dude, you know I'm right.

I have a mental image of a banner hung that says "Golden Gophers 7-1 so far this season!", and Tim Brewster & a few bandwagoneers smiling, but then Adaggio for Strings starts playing and a highlight reel comes on showing losses to horrible Northwestern, Michigan, etc and the smiles from Brewster and the bandwagon become more pained and strained, while in the background the true fans of Golden Gopher football are throwing themselves off cliffs like Okinawa housewives or committing other forms of hara kiri, seppuku, and so forth as they have to suffer under the illusion that their team is okay and somehow not a total sham.

I have numerous Gopher fan friends, and every one of them has turned to drink in the most bitter way this fall.

- Just had my final presentation for Software Engineering & Practices I (done)
- Final for Quantitative Software Engineering (next week)
- Final project for Web Programming (2 weeks)
- Final for Linear Algebra (2 weeks)

Meh, that's it. I'm already done with the code for web, and QSE is easy. Linear Algebra's final will be evil; but, I just had an exam in it today that pretty much covered 2/3's of the material for the final and I didn't feel too bad.

My girlfriend, a civil engineer, has it much, much, much, much worse. Poor her :x I almost feel bad 'cause of the ease of my schedule... almost ;)

Two papers for me, one is the What is Historography? (It was fun writing that one) due Tuesday I have 6 pages done out and like 6 to go. Then I have a 8 page research paper due on a local African-American community that used to live on the the near by Civil War Battlefield, that is due Wed. This weekend is going to be no fun for me.

lol I am not sure I will miss mine. I honestly don't mind them but having two in a row is always hard, although I will get them done.

I have a bad final's schedule.

Monday is Marketing Management followed by Personal Taxation, while tuesday is Law and the Regulatory Environment, followed by a presentation in Leadership in Management (worst. class. ever.) and then my last final whic his Intermediate Accounting I. I'm not too worried about any in particular, but it will suck have that much in two days. But after that I'm done, while my most of my friends have stuff up until friday.

I finished one final today. Tomorrow I wrap up my Printmaking final by doing the color portions of my images in the morning, then returning in the evening and matting them. I'll also finish Graphic Design by making all the pieces of my fake restaurant brand presentable. THEN, I'll spend the rest of my time until Wednesday morning writing a ten page paper. And then, I'll be done.

I never had finals, I feel left out :cry

I'd probably be dead from stress if I did have them though. Good luck everyone!

If by finals you mean 'exams', then no I don't miss those either. I have a terrible memory (:uhoh) so I never did particularly well on exams.

My worst final exam moment was when I woke up two hours into a two and a half hour test.

I had to beg the professor just to let me take it with twenty minutes left to go. :cry Aaaah I still feel awful thinking about that. :(

Good luck everyone, may the Force be with you! :hug

Yikes I have had nightmares that happening to me. I got one paper left do and I will be so glad when I turn that in because then I am finished. Of course that is the only class I am worried about this semester, although I think I will get at least a B in it.

Me too, I was so happy when I turned in that last paper. I also have good feelings about both the grades on both of my classes.

Well, at least he gave you a decent study guide. There was about five minutes left in the last class before the final and someone asked my tax teacher what should we know for the final, to which he replied "The entire code."
