Just had my Calculus 3 final today and I'm so releived it's over. I studied so much over the weekend and pray I did well enough to get a B.

Anyone else taking finals this week or next? If so drop your course name and your expected grade!

Cinematography 1 last week. I expect a 98% or higher.
Funny story attached to that actually. Night before the exam I got diarrhea some how and since I was stuck on the toilet all night shitting anyway I decided to make good use of the textbook and my notes and crammed until 2AM when my bowels decided to relax enough to me to sleep.

Plus I have a textbook from an eiler semester that I'm gonna try to sell back. Hopefull I can get $100 total of $300+. Book buy back can suck major, but at least it's something.

Finals are next week for me. I fully expect to pwn IT Essentials and Basic Web Design.

Between now and next Monday I have:

Mechanisms of Pathogenesis (not a final)
Comparative Vertebrate Morphology Lab (Final)
Organic Chemistry (Final)
General Genetics (Final)
Comparative Vertebrate Morphology Lecture (final)
Mechanisms of Pathogenesis (Final)
Evolutionary Biology (Final)

College is feeling oh so much like a massive mistake right now.

[kysg]

yes when you take that many classes yes it does feel like a mistake...

[Polaris573]

Can't take 2-3 classes a semester if I want to graduate in a reasonable amount of time. 12 credit hours is considered full-time enrollment and this is only 16 credit hours.

Whats you major? Sounds like fun. I've heard the Organic Chem labs are a bear to work out.

Biology. The only class in there that I would consider fun is mechanisms of pathogenesis, but it's a beast. Evolutionary Biology is good, but it's only because I have an excellent professor, I hear the other one is not so great. You heard right, organic chemistry lab is just awful unless you love chemistry. 2-3 hours of pre-lab work every week, I never get the expected yields, and one of my experiments exploded; I still got an A but it's a frustrating experience. Class average for the last test for Organic Chemistry lecture was a 49%...... bad professor even her teaching assistants were upset by the test she made.

Here is a basic idea of what I'm working through right now if anyone is interested. I have to fill in a lot of the gaps in the information there though, because it's not entirely complete enough for the exam.

Polaris,

It sounds like you have all of us beat. I hope you make it through this week! Are you a Grad student or just in your senior year?

Btw I stumbled upon this:

Thanks, I wish everyone else good luck on their finals too. This is never an easy time of year and unfortunately it comes twice per year.

I'm just a senior, no grad school yet. I've seen the giantmicrobes website before, it's great, I've considered buying something before.
