Final Exams/Midterms- It's the Most Awful Time of the Year!
Figured I'd get this thread going, so we can gripe about exams. Misery loves company, right?
For me, despite having a full load of courses, I only have one registrar- scheduled final. The rest of my exams are in class, and they should be easy.
However, that one final I have? It's a doozie- Intermediate Spanish. I'm sucking at Spanish, so I am very, very afraid.
Estoy screwed!

Man I'm my finals week although they should be pretty easy. I'm just glad my instructors scheduled the exams during week 15 instead of the final week. Once its all done and over with its a month of relaxing and hopefully watching the Flames win.

Oh, thats cold.
I've got my part of a project to send to my group tonight, check. A history essay due tuesday, might start tomorrow and a tax project due thursday, should start on wednesday. Then its finals.
This will be 2 weeks of hell and then the holidays start and its 2 weeks of more hell, and that gun on the table is laughing at me....

I have an essay due tomorrow (started and finished it today, just finished).
I have a lab final worth 50% on Wednesday, and a final paper and a presentation on Friday. I have nothing on Tuesday (other than hockey) and Thursday.
I only have one final during the exam break, but during those 5 weeks (2 weeks exams, 3 weeks off) I am going to be working on my thesis. And going on a vacation.
Next term is going to kill me.

Midterms are far worse than Finals in my eyes. You need to study for exams while keeping up on assignments, and learning the new stuff they throw at you that you wont be tested on for 6 more weeks.

4 papers, a presentation, and 4 finals. Blah. This is the worst of it though. A 12 pager research and everything. I can't get a good flow going though.

For the U of C students, dont forget about the CP meet on Friday at around 2:00. For other students like MRC and SAIT, you're welcome to join, but be prepared to become fodder for ridicule by us vastly superior individuals dedicated to higher learning.

Yeah, well... I'm gonna go make my own CP meet with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the CP meet.

I'm about to die soon... cell biology tomorrow, microbiology on monday, physiology on tuesday, genetics on wednesday and modern physics on thursday
Sucks because I'm very unprepared for 2/5 (last two) and the playoffs are RIGHT in the middle of it so either I fail and watch hockey or I study like a mad man. I'm sure I'll find a compromise of the two
And to top it off... I had a fever for a few days and now I just have a super runny nose and stuffy head.

I kind of wish I were back in school again. Always loved going to that final exam wearing shorts, coming out of the exam on a nice sunny April day and thinking, welp, that's it for this year! Then off into the summer I would ride whilst drinking copious amounts of beer. Now I have responsibilities and all that crap. Pfff. Wonder if I should just show up to work tomorrow totally loaded and try to get a work Bermuda shorts day going.

helpful advice:
multiple choice - select C
economics - supply and demand
biology - increases surface area
law - that depends
