I've got my semester Finals this week. Some people probably have different final times than me, or don't have finals, but if you do have finals or tests in anything, Good Luck!

Of course, there are a few teachers that decide not to give a final. *Shrugs*

I remember finals at high school... if you could believe it, the district required an essay for every final.

Most subjects don't work well with essays. Probably the funniest one was P.E., where instead of actually doing an essay, we were to copy down the "school spirit song" taped to the wall of the gym.

The best part was that those without good vision couldn't read it, so one way or another they managed to fuck you over regardless.

I'm glad I'm no longer in there.

My high school did finals a couple weeks after Christmas break, too. That way, you had the chance to forget everything over break and have a couple big projects to do over break while you're at it.

I'm glad my college finals are before break... It makes it actually seem like a break, since there are no finals or projects hanging over your head.

I had my semester finals last week. I didn't have to write essays or anything, and the tests were easy. After the whole class finished, we usually got to talk and do whatever we wanted.

Any way to incorporate tests into PE ends in disaster. I remember last year we wound up taking a dumbass test on sports rules, with a handout that had all the answers on it, in bullets. Fucking ridiculous. Aside, I've already written most of the essays, and the big tests are next week. (The classes with essays have to have the essays done beforehand.)

I'm still glad I don't have to do these kinds of things any more. I used to get worked up over them. I never actually found the finals themselves to be that bad, it's all the build up and the procrastination that would get to me.

Course, working has its downsides too, particularly in my current job. They seem to be opting for making it stressful *all* the time, instead of just around things like finals.

You know...I never stressed myself when it came to finals because I usually had a really good or really bad grade to not care enough either way. I just performed how I usually did and didn't overstress...I found doing it that way made the exams a lot better because when I thought too much I missed too much.

I'm not panicking over finals. Yet.

I'll probably panic the night before, and still have no problem.

Well, today I had my math final, which took from 12:00 to 1:50. It wasn't incredibly hard, but I forgot all of my notes which gave me some trouble in some places.

I will probably bomb my Biology final tomorrow, as my teacher puts me to sleep in 2 minutes of talking so I don't know a lot of what goes on...

I had my Computer Science Exam (final) today and I was the first one done (it took me 50 minutes). What sucked though was that I had to sit still for another 40 minutes before I could leave. My other three exams most likely won't go this well though
