just wanting to wish all of the other college students on the site good luck with exams. i know mine haven't started yet but lots of universities start this week. Good luck and happy (sarcastic) studying.

We're also taking our semester tests as well o.0 Only three weeks until winter break :D

Good luck everyone

As my friend put it on her dry erase board down the hall:

16 days.
9 Spanish classes.
3 finals.
1 5-page research paper I've not started.
...before break!

Trust me, we are all counting the days. These next two weeks will be the busiest two weeks I've had for a while!

Thanks for the luck-I'll need it! :o) And good luck to you and everyone else as well!

ooooh gosh... I do not look forward to this... looks like I'll be taking the Algebra test whether I want to or not... ergh... [[ax - bw ay - bz]
[cx - dw cy - dz]] right?? I'm SO not ready for this... it's all fine and dandy when I have the steps under my nose... but this is rediculus... I can't do this! ='(

oh, finals week . . . only my western civ teacher has the mercy not to have one
I'm going to flunk chem. I'm going to cry.
being smart enough to never study in high school has its drawbacks--i have no study skills whatsoever . . .
i wish this semester was over already . . .

I think that happened to alot of people in the transition from high school to college. Public education in the US is entirely TOO easy.

I went to a private high school but it didn't help. My principal was a selfish moron with a personal agenda of turning the school into a juvinile reform thing and chased away all the good teachers. She has power issues. It wasn't so bad when I went there because there were too many loose students and she wanted to be liked even while she had total control--doesn't she realize that's impossible? But I hear it's really bad since I graduated last spring. My class (of twelve) was one of the loosest if you know what I mean. Outgoing with a weird sense of humor that she couldn't pin down without being seen as a monster. 'Cause we didn't really do anything wrong. And a lot of the other students like that transferred since then for one reason or another. And the teachers almost all changed. She got them under her little thumb from the start. Glad I graduated when I did. *whew*.

same, our school was having some administration issues when I graduated, now they've had several principles in the few yrs I've been gone. I guess thats why our countries lower level education system is looked down upon o.O

I know how to study... when I need to. Do I study? no, I don really need to. We had a test three days ago [I think] and to begin with... I sure didn't pay attention to when it was, so naturally, when I walked into the classroom, I jus did it like it was a worksheet, handed it in and went to grab some extra homework. Everyone was asking me later, "how well did you think you did on the test?" and I'm all like "what test? ... we had a test?" Now first of all, I'm spacey in the morning to begin with... but it's not like I pay attention to when I have a test ['cept semesters, and you'd have to be crazy to ignore those]... so I figured I did pretty well if it wasn't bothering me. So I went to class yesterday, turned out we all SUCKED at the test... 'cept for a select few... me and another guy in my class aced it, not perfect, but me and him ended up with a 95%. So since the average was between thirty and twenty wrong, the teacher gave us another day... but the true and false corrections were not counted... and naturally, two of my three mistakes were T/F. So I gained half a point... yippee... up to a 96% though.

[Bluedragon] (that /\)'ll kill you later on if you choose something math-based to major in...have to at least cram two nights prior :P...

thanks for the luck...I'll need it for statistics and cal...I'm hoping for a 4.0 this semester; whether it happens or not I guess we'll see (I'm living on that boundary point).

***What majors are y'all anyway?
I'm an Electrical Engineering major

and good luck to all of you as well. :)

i am an accounting major and i have def learned the skills of studying since college, i have some rough exams starting this next week and i know a lot of people continue over til close to the 20th so it will be some long weeks for lots of us

I do not want to extend my suffering any longer than I have to, so a math major is SO out of question. I'm thinking maybe psych... not sure, but Not math... ick. And I know... it's all ready starting to show but I'm so out of it lately, I don care.

DON'T SAY MATH I WILL LYNCH YOU.
JUST DON'T SAY IT.
Psych would be a good major. I could do it--but the jobs you get with it aren't good for me. I'm not a people person (not in person; here's okay) so no counseling and no teaching either.
Currently I'm registered as an English major with a Creative Writing concentration but that was just to make sure I got accepted since I have a lot of background and am good at it.
What I really want to do is Stage Theatre but never got around to changing my major . . . bad Elizabeth. I'm so lazy.

bad Elizabeth! jk. theres nothing wrong with changing majors. college is about exploring and getting to know yourself. major changes happen all the time ^^. I say go for it

M~e~a~n Anthony!!! okay, okay, jk. And I am planning on foing for it . . . but it's just one of those things I haven't gotten around to.

Two 10 page philosophy term papers plus three 3 page papers. 5 finals. 11 days. Time to get busy. O_O

Oh man I'm sorry. I only have one five-page paper. Are ALL of those philosophy papers? Talk about mind-boggling . . . philosophy is understandable but difficult, especially when you get to the point where you've forgotten the 'real world' in the process of trying to discover what's behind it. Suddenly "radio" is an immensely remarkable and somehow funny concept . . . y'know what I mean?

my exams are next week... but i have so much to do this week I don't even want to think about them yet...
this is the time of year where I just want to put myself out of misery.....

... move to florida, marry a rich guy, and forget I was ever smart enough to get through a biology/chemistry major in college with nearly all A's. screw that. too much pressure bein' smart, you know?

Yes I do. My mom's always like, you do better than 98% of students in the whole country on standardized tests, how come you bring home B's and C's? And I say: Mother, I am depressed and do not care. She says: I know how you feel but try anyway. I walk off saying under my breath: easy to say it, isn't it?

I hate the prospect of finals (mine are next week too--I mean the week of the 13th). My chem final is at SEVEN in the MORNING!!! The busses don't start early enough to get me there on time!!! Even getting a ride and going straight to the school it's a forty minute drive!!! How the heck am I supposed to get up that early?! When I have no school to get in the way I sleep from five in the morning to six at night!!! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!!!!! NOT even to mention that I have three exams on three different days and I don't live on campus as I said!!! I get to come all that way for two hours three days in a row!!! I don't know when my lit final is yet but just my luck it'll be on Thursday. Not only would it be a different day YET but it would be far into the week. The whole week is set aside for finals but it'd be nice to finish on Wednesday. Grrrrrr. And I have to read a whole book for discussion in lit by tomorrow--we only have Tues & Thurs to discuss it. It's a lot of reading but I'll miss that class. That and psych are the only ones I'll miss though. History? boring. my teacher can't enunciate. and he never talks about stuff i'm interested in. Theatre? it's okay and I love theatre but this is a history and types of study class not a you get to do it class which is what i care about so i still get bored and it starts after four in the afternoon for the love of heaven. . . . . . . chem . . . ? Ah, man, don't even SAY it . . . I'm gonna cry . . . I love science THEORIES but all those dumb little facts and those stupid numbers you have to work out . . . Beth, I very emphatically agree with you about wanting to put myself out of my misery . . . and as classes lag on I always tend to drag and stop caring even if I liked them. I only keep going and studying because I feel guilty if I don't.

. . . sounds like a nice alternative. 'cept I don't EVER wanna get married. But it'd be nice to find out a rich relative I never heard of (because I don't *have* any rich relatives that I know of) died and left their entire fortune to me . . . I'll get a PS2, all the manga I read over and over in the bookstore cuz I'm too poor to buy it, and a diamond-studded collar for my cat because she's very pretty and I love her. <---yes, I am a geek. but in a scifi/fantasy/gamer/books/movies/manga/anime type of way. being a geek over chemistry and algebra is a prospect that makes me want to blow up the world for its own good. *ack!* waddaya mean those are valid interests?!?!?! you just convinced me even more . . . where can I get the spare parts I need for an atom bomb? jk.


{I'm sorry. I hope that didn't freak anyone--meant to be a joke [as stated]--I apologize profusely in advance if you're the type that thinks joking about bombs isn't funny.}

I'm an art major, thinking about a biology minor. Once I get out of the gen-ed classes and move off campus, I'll be one happy camper.

Haha. I get to live at home my freshman year. I got an exception to the first-year residency requirement because my mother is disabled and I stay here to help her--of course, that's the official reason. I filed the request because I do not really feel like moving out and do not want to leave my cat. I intend to move into an apartment with my cat at some point in my college career after my freshman year is over. Bwahahahaha.

I couldn't really live at home, since a) it's three hours away, and b) I'd go insane. We're supposed to live our first two years on campus, and my freshman year, I thought I could handle living in the freshman dorms all year. No longer, thanks to the new floor mates who are more obnoxious than my 14-year-old sister who thinks she should get my 19-year-old priviliges. Junior year...I'm gone.

Noooo!, I took a pre-exam right? I got a 100 in US History «--Ohh yeahh - 89 in math, and a 69 in science!!! My mom was all... I expect better from you.. lol. No good man... If im not on the site much it's because Im studying.
