Christ, you're so right.  I thought my second hardest final was tomorrow.  No, it's today, supposed to begin in under an hour.

My last final (final final??) was a 4 hour exam. It covered the previous 2 years of classwork. There were 8 questions. You had to answer 6, all of them were essay questions and the minimum page count was 4 pages per question. It was, interesting.

Lol.. I aint got finals for another couple weeks... just got the grades back from my last round of mid terms.  

3 A's.... and 1 F :(.  

I can't believe I did that bad on one of my midterms.  I think I was literally in shock when I got the grade.

Yes, finals do suck.  BUT THEN ...  ah, I'll have one whole week off of school before it's ...  to summer school!  Yay!

Had to read an 18 page term paper outloud to my class today though.  So the last few weeks of school just suck in general.

Think finals suck?  Wait til you get a faceful of what's waiting for you on the outside.

Sorry, guys...it don't get easier.

Luck!

In three weeks time I sit three of four final papers to become a chartered accountant.

I've sat 11 exams to get this far, and the last paper is a case study based on 50 pages of preseen material, and 10 pages of unseen material.

It's strange that when I got my masters degree in Physics I said I would never do another exam as long as I lived. I must be a masochist, because I'm planning to an MBA eventually, partly because of the exemptions I'll get through being an accountant.

Worst final ever for me was a combined Exercise Physiology exam and lab final. It took 8 hours to take the test and was 5 essay questions dealing with different sports injuries and then an oral lab exam where you tell a panel of 2 head Trainers, 1 orthopeadic surgeon and 2 Physical Therapists how you would treat and prescribe rehabilitation for those same injuries. You got a 30 minute lunch break then on the lab you had to locate all the different muscle groups and ligaments that were involved in the injured regions on 5 different cadavers. It was a "Pass/Fail" exam where if you got less than 80% of the answers correct you failed and you had to have this class to graduate.

I liked it better on the outside. The pay was better and nobody was on my back all day.

to top it all off, I still have to look forward to the Bar Exam(s) next Summer... sigh.

I just hope to God you aren't going into family law...  You'll love that Bar exam in comparison :)
