Wow!
What a crazy week!! Of course finals week is always busy but there is something special about the last one. I took work off so
that I could have some time to study. For some reason I just haven't seemed to
have much time for it recently. Ha! I have realized that I have missed nearly a month’s worth of material and if I wanted to be able to graduate I had to
pass these tests this week. Chase has been pretty stressed to. Engineering
finals will do that to anyone! I have 3 exams and a final project to get done.
The project was due Monday. The project – a portfolio website for Chase’s
graduate school applications - was about three quarters of the way done, but I
had been procrastinating it the last couple of weeks and was down to one night
to get it finished. Luckily things went smoothly Monday morning and everything got done.
Never underestimate my powers of last minute productivity, it is a skill I have honed for the past 4 years! I spent the rest of
the day studying frantically for my two history finals on Tuesday. Those were
my most difficult finals, simply because there was so much material to review.
Remembering everything I had learned about the Soviet Union and WWII was a tall
order, but the tests went well and I was able to leave with that pride that
comes from knowing you did well on your tests. Thursday was my last final and I
wasn't too worried about it. Probably because marketing isn't what I want to do
with my life, the class wasn't too difficult, and the test was going to be multiple choice. The strangest
feeling was sitting down to that test and realizing that there were 100
questions between me and the end of my college education. I couldn't help
counting down as I answered questions. 75 to go. Half way done. Only 25
questions left. 10 more!! 5!! This is the last test question ever!!! Phew! I'm still waiting for it to feel real.
