One more final that's worth 40% of my grade. It's for my statistics class, I have about 88% right now and I really, really want to get an A in the class. It's at 8 am tomorrow morning so I have ten more hours to study.

One final left, tomorrow morning at 9. I've got a mild headache so I'm probably going to take something before I go to sleep. And then I'm done and going home!

I only have a paper left: Advanced Logic. Due on Friday, but I really, really, really want to get it done before I fly home tomorrow morning. I think I'm physically incapable of doing work right now, though...
And I still need to PACK!

Someone needs to kick me in the behind and get me to finish this stupid paper. I still only have six pages done. I've worked on it this morning but I've just made changes to what was already there, not added new material.

The Lucretius paper managed to finish itself, and the ensuing final... wasn't bad! I didn't fail it, and I definitely have a solid B in the class (which is perfectly fine by me. )
Last night, I actually studied for the final I have today, which kicks major frakking butt, and it'll be a cake test as well.
I'm almost done, and it's all gone (relatively) well!

Ugh, still not done. Classes are over, but now I have a week to wade through piles and piles of work before finals. This is going to be fuuunnn.
Incidentally, I miss paper writing. I have one paper this semester for the peer mentoring seminar, it's so easy and relaxing compared to all my other work. I just have to write, piece of cake. Sure the ideas need to make sense and come together and such, but doing that's not so hard.
It's so much easier than trying to analyze or write computer algorithms. And a Sunday picnic compared to trying to solve Schrödinger equations.

Actually, I have about 9.25 pages done, so I'm getting closer. I even think I'm on my last point now, and will soon be able to move onto the conclusion.
I think, counting all the time spent reading source material and researching, I've spent more than 12 hours on this paper. I suppose it's worth it, considering the paper's worth more than 25% of my grade in this course, but when I hear classmates talk about how they just sit down and bang out a 10 page paper in 2 or 3 hours I wonder if I'm no good at this or they're just that much better.
Of course, my grades on my papers are generally higher than theirs, but not that much higher. One person in particular claims she wrote a paper in 1.5 hours that took me more than five - I made an A, she a B. I worked more than 3 times longer and only received one additional letter grade. Frustrating.

Just got my grade back on the final I took this morning.
80% That's a solid B for me in my second class this semester. Still haven't gotten the other three back. Looks like my GPA is taking a nosedive.
(I know this sounds stupid, but before this semester I had a 3.95- that is, one B on my transcript. Suddenly, that number has tripled. I don't have that many things going for me, I hoped my GPA would pull me through.)

I just found out that I get to take three of my four classes next semester as independent study.
You have no idea how much I love independent study. I get ridiculously bored in class because everything moves SO SLOWLY that I don't have the attention span for it.
So chances are, classes that would be three hours a week will take me one hour.

I'm sorry blacwolve. I'm the same - I have one B. In Intermediate Alegebra no less. I ended up acing College Algebra and becoming a math tutor. I was seriously pissed at that B. What's your major?
In other news, I finished today. I think I'll get all A's, but its possible I could end up with 3 B's. That would make me sad, but oddly I would be OK with it because I actually learned quite a bit from the classes I struggled a bit in. In those classes, for the first time learning was a higher priority to sucking up and getting a good grade. It was ... odd.

I'm finished. I still have to take a final in this class tomorrow, but that is no big deal, this paper is worth much more than the final.
I must admit, I'm actually kinda proud of it. Not too bad, considering that getting the darn thing done was like pulling teeth for me.

My major is political science. The B's are in two Spanish classes and a undergrad/grad Statistical Quality Control course. I'd sort of like to do something combining statistics and liberal arts in the future (market research, maybe?) so the Statistics particularly bothers me.
