This semester is officially over!

[RitaZ.]

I took my last final today, it was 2 hours long and I used every minute of it. The adrenaline is still rushing through my body, I can't even think. I've got plenty to do around the house, since most of my time lately has been devoted to studying. I don't know what to do with myself though. I decided to go outside and trim some plants... Not a good idea! Well, I almost cut off the tip of my left index finger. It's a good thing I had a tetanus shot recently!

I think I better just sit and do nothing for the rest of the night.

Wow! Congrats! That is SUCH a good feeling! I am in the middle of midterms (quarter system here) and wont be DONE until early June! I am so jealous!

Good job on completing the semester!

 

[Holly]

Yay Rita!

Of course, I'm working on (or supposed to be working on) my last paper right now.
I can't wait to be finished. I'm taking the summer off.

My last paper was handed in two weeks ago. It was such a relief. What are your papers about?

 

[Stephanie218]

2 papers and 4 finals to go still here....so much stress! but at least i'll be going home in 10 days!

 

[Cindy B]

I had my biology final today.. and I used every minute of my 2 hours as well.
I still have one more week for my teaching class.

May 8th is my final class for that class.

 

[monarchsfan16]

12 classes
1 monster paper revision (15 pages)
1 group presentation
1 paper on that group presentation
1 last stats assignment (no small thing)
1 final

Done with classes May 8. One final on the 17th. Going home either the 8th or the 9th then will drive up for the final. Part of me can't wait to have it over for a few months. But I'm really going to miss my friends

 

[Marseeya]

I've still got two major projects to finish.

One is a 4-week thematic unit that I haven't even started on. It's due Monday.

The other is a 20-25 page history paper that was due today. I had to get a week's extension for it from the professor. UGHHHHH!!! Can I vent for a minute? I wanted to do the project on our local school district, but there wasn't enough info for the paper. Then I switched to the local college. The woman who was supposed to give me the past 20 years worth of archived articles only gave me the past 7 years, so I changed focus on the paper AGAIN. The guy I was supposed to interview said he'd get back with me next week. I'm going to have to write as much as I can without his very important info and hope he gets back to me in time for me to turn it in.

anyway, congrats for being done! I hope your finger gets better soon.

12 classes

Heather, I hope you meant 12 credits. Yes?

For all of you!

 

[RitaZ.]

Can I vent for a minute?

Vent all you want!

This is my second semester back in college. Last semester, due to Wima, finals were cancelled. No natural disasters to interfere with finals this time.

 

[nativetxn]

I know that you must be so relieved to have the semester over and no more finals. I remember that I always felt that way.

Sorry that you injured your finger. Take a break for a couple of days and regroup and then go trim those plants.

Back in college after how long Rita? I am back this year after 15 years and wow! It is culture shock!

Do you really want to know? 1989

I'm a much better student now that I was back then. DH can confirm that. I never miss class, I'm really enjoying my success and progress. I've even made new friends! Dang, I sound like a kid in preschool.

 

[Snow Brite]

1990 was the last year I was in college full-time. I am the same way! I go to every class, do all my homework, and stress out if I am not getting straight A's. I too have made two friends and am really enjoying it.

What is so strange to me is all the kids in college that don't get what a GIFT it is. They show up late for class, if they even come, do the assignments that interest them, and are happy they get a B. Fascinating!

Good for you for jumping back in!

My last paper was handed in two weeks ago. It was such a relief. What are your papers about?

For Family Systems, I have to write a treatment paper from a multi-system standpoint with regards to a family I have been working with. It has to be customized to fit their needs.

My second one is for Programs for Children and Youth. I have to write a "grant proposal" for a program that "could" be implemented to address a specific issue with children and youth. Mine focuses on children in foster care.

Its Saturday--I have class in 2 1/2 hours and then the rest of the day, well, most of it anyway , will be spent doing my papers

Good luck to everyone trying to get EVERYTHING done before the end of the semester!!!
